Loralee’s comments from the Review Group group.

Great job, D.! Thank you! One review finished for you.

Everyone, this review round is nearly done. Nick is the only one left to go, and I have spoken with him already. He may be a bit late on his reviews for a very good reason, but he has promised to get them done. Thanks everyone for your participation!

Thanks for finishing your fourth review, Sarah. You are all done! I hope you participate in more rounds in the future.

Thanks, Cathy! The Goodreads link didn’t take me to your actual review, but I found it. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

That is your fourth, and you are all done! Great job!

Paz, the links you put up take us to the book, not to your actual reviews.

I think I found them here: (Goodreads) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

and here: (Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-re...

With your next reviews will you put up links to the reviews themselves?

Thanks so much for your first review! One down for you!

Thank you, Sarah! That is three done for you!

Thank you for getting your first review done, Mary! One down for you.

Edit: I found your Amazon review: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/customer-rev...

Thanks for getting all four of your reviews completed, Mary Ansell!

Good job, Sarah! Two done for you!

Thanks for getting all four of your reviews done, J.E.!
Great Job!
Sarah, yes, once your reviews are posted on goodreads and Amazon, please post links to the reviews here.

Everyone, this round is slowly coming to a close, and most everyone is done. Good job! Those who are not, are either on track, or have contacted me to explain why they are not.

As a reminder, once a review is posted, do not contact the reviewer if you have concerns about the review, or do not think it is fair. If you have concerns, please contact me, or E.M.

Here is my first review for Lydia: The Ugly Duckling.

Thank you for your reviews, Cathy! You are nearly done!

If you know the drill, don't worry about this post.

But if you're new to these reading rounds, make sure to do a couple of things.

1. Take a look at the lists that E.M. posted in message 57. And the How To in message 58. Then:
a. Go down the first list and find your name that is bolded.
*The names under your name are the people you will SEND your book to.
*(You need to be able to send at least a PDF, but some people can also send mobis or epubs.)
b. Go down the second list and find your bolded name again.
*The names under yours in the second list are the people you will ,RECEIVE books from.
*(Again, you need to have the ability to receive at least PDFs.)

Note: While some people choose to buy the books they read, this is not required. (But it is appreciated.) Also note that it is not appropriate to expect people to gift your their books.

2. After you know the people to whom you will be sending your book, and the people from whom you will be receiving books contact them using Goodreads messenger (if they haven't already contacted you).
a. For the first list, work out how each reader would like the book.
*(Again, some people will just buy it.)
*If the reader wants you to send your book, then send a PDF (or mobi or epub if you have it and they request it) to the email address they give you in Messenger.
b. For the second list, let the author know what format you would like the book. (For example, PDF, Mobi, or Epub.)
*They may only have PDF, and that is okay.
*You may, if you want, buy the books you are assigned to read, but that is not required.

3. Read your assigned books within the posted deadlines. Some people (like me) choose to read more quickly than average. Some people don't. Both are fine so long as the books you are assigned to read are finished within the deadlines.
* If you are not able to finish your assigned books within the deadline, please let me know.


Please do not post your email addresses here as this is a public forum, and anyone can see your email. Giving your email only in messenger reduces the risk of spam.

Hello! I'll be modding this round, so if you have any questions or concerns, send me a message.

Thanks, Cathy!

The goodreads link you put up actually took us to the book, not your review. But I found your review. Here it is: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

That is two done for you! Thanks again!

Also, everyone keep in mind, this is a CLEAN review round. In other words, please do not submit books with "...explicit violence or explicit sexual situations."

If you're submitting a book to be reviewed here, it is with the understanding that it is following that rule.

Here again is what E.M. wrote about submitting to a Clean Review Round:

"Fiction and non-fiction, adult and children's books are acceptable.
No explicit violence or explicit sexual situations. If you have to wonder if an aspect of your book could be considered offensive, this is probably not the group for you!

Please note even in a 'Clean' round it is always possible that the books you are assigned may contain material you personally find upsetting or offensive. If you can't commit to this, please do not sign up."
