Hi Shoshana,

Before I can add you, you need to claim your author profile on Goodreads. Right now you are posting from a regular user profile.
The author profile is here:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

You can contact Goodreads with any questions here: https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

Once that's done, your setting for 'Who Can Send Me Private Messages' needs to be 'anyone'.
Please follow this link to check - and if necessary change - your privacy setting from your author profile (once you've claimed it.)

https://www.goodreads.com/user/edit?t...

Also... the way that reading rounds work here is that you will be assigned four books to read by the moderator (me in this case.) Four different people will be assigned to read your book. This will happen once we have all ten people signed up (right now we only have eight.)

If you would rather choose the books that you read one at a time, instead of being in a reading round, we have the one for one list:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

With the one for one list, you choose a book from the first post of the list, read and after your reviews are posted to GR/Amz, your book is added to the list for someone else to choose. Full instructions are in the first post of the thread.

Take care."

Hi Juliette, I think Loralee added you to round 378.

Thanks for that link, Lynn :)

Thanks, Phillip. That's your third round complete. :)

T.E.W. wrote: "no I haven't"

Thanks for confirming. I see you have decided to go with Group 378. When your final two Zon links are posted on Group 377, I suggest you repost on 378 to confirm that, and also advise Loralee of any conflicts with the participants of her group.

T.E.W. wrote: "🤦🏾‍♀️ sigh 😔 apologies, I honestly don't know what I'm doing 😭. I copied the link that was in the little box and this is what it gave me 🤷🏾‍♀️"

No worries :) The links were there. It's just more work for you to paste everything in.

Thanks for the Zon links. Just another tip... it's best to shorten your Zon link, removing everything after and including the letters "ref" -- that will give you a clean link that doesn't include any of your personal information.

Hi Tameka,

I see you've signed up here too. You can only sign up to one group at a time. So, first you need to post your missing Amazon reviews to Group 377, then you need to let me / Loralee know which group you want to join.

Thanks :)

Hi Tameka,

Before I can add you, I need you to post your Amazon links for Group 377 (in that group discussion please.)

Also, I need to know if you have any conflicts with anyone listed in message 1 - i.e. have you been reviewed by or reviewed any of the authors listed.

Thanks

Thanks for those Goodreads links, Tameka. Please post the Zon links in a new message when you have them.

Just for your awareness, you only need to post the link rather than the whole review. So for Predestined, I'm looking for: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

May I join this group with my historical fiction: The Mule Spinners' Daughters

Thanks, E.K.

I have read books by yourself and Ann Birdgenaw"

Hi G.J.,

It looks like Jennifer has reviewed you too, so I'm sorry, but can't see a way to fit you in. (I can't shift anyone from 1-5 up a position as we've all been reviewed by Ann.)

P. Pherson wrote: "So we are still waiting on one more. Is that right?"

We still need two more. Then we'll do 'final checks'. Then I'll post instructions. :)

P. Pherson wrote: "Yes, Of course... The Eye of Ebon

Suppose people would need to know that ;)"

P. Pherson wrote: "Is this round still open?

I have not read anyone here, and I am sure no one here has read me.

My book is a fantasy, and more than one person has called it dark fantasy (but I did not think so ;))..."

Welcome to the round, P. Pherson. I added The Eye of Ebon - I assume that's the book you wanted included. We are still waiting for two more participants before we can get started. Once we have ten, I'll send further instructions.

Amazon finally posted from the other day."

Thanks for that link, Joseph. That completes your first round.

Ann wrote: "Thanks for the heads up EK. I'll get it now"

Thanks :)

For anyone who may be reviewing one of my books, I just wanted to let you know that The First Alpha – The Beginning is free on Amazon today, so you may wish to grab a copy:

Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/First-Alpha-Beg...

US: https://www.amazon.com/First-Alpha-Be...

UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Alpha-...

I'm also happy to offer The Missing (for anyone who hasn't read it), if you don't like dark books. That's free today too.

Please don't start reading, I just thought I would let you know about the sale in case you wanted to grab the books while they're free. 😁

Welcome to the round, Jennifer. It looks like you have a second book Ann and J.R. can review, so I squeezed you in.

Joseph wrote: "https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm waiting for Amazon to post."

Thanks for that link, Joseph. Please post the Zon link in a new message when it comes through.

Arriah wrote: "Hi E.K.

Sorry, I forgot to add - Ann has reviewed all my books, so I would not have any other book to offer to her.

Can we still find a way around that?"

Good catch and thanks for sharing that. Unfortunately, in that case, I can't fit you in. You would need to be in Ann's blind spot, and given you have reviewed both me and Audrey, and we've both also been reviewed by Ann, it doesn't work.

There's another group looking for participants - 378 and you may fit there: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Hi Linda,

I currently have you signed up for Round 379 and the rules state you can only join one round at a time. If you would prefer to join this one, please let me know and I'll remove you from 379.

Thanks :)
