[Laura]

Hi Jay,

I'm getting an error on the links. Is it just me?

[K.A.]

I tried to follow Laura's link & ended up on my own "my authors" page, so something is going on...

[Jay]

OMG! That is weird. Sorry folks, I'll fix tonight.

[Jay]

OK, it appears you can't copy and paste, you have to go into edit mode, then copy and paste. Lesson learned!

Sorry about the job half done, Steve - I've now removed Ella from both sides. Duh!

[Jason]

Here is my review of Gloria's book for Round 2. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Ali, I believe I will be reading yours third. I will try to post all this in the right section (if I can find it). Don't know when I am going to be flooded with work, so I'm trying to stay ahead of the game.

[Jay]

What a review, Jason! I think I'll have to buy that one for my husband for Christmas. I had a problem with the link, so here it is again, just in case.

You will be reviewing Ali next, and finishing with Alberto.

[K.A.]

Update: I'm 50% of the way through Laura's historical fiction...Jeffrey, are you out there?

It was my first draft. I will tweak it throughout the day.

Links are in post 1, Kathy, so you can message each other easily ;)

[K.A.]

I messaged, Jay - have not received a response. I'll message him again just to make sure he got the first one. No panic yet!

Hi, I'm not getting any response from Sandra either...

[K.A.]

I've finished Laura's book & posted a goodreads review at the following link:

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Let me know if you'd like me to post it elsewhere!

[Jay]

Thanks, Kathy. That's 2 reviews in before the round starts officially!

[K.A.]

Yeah, oops! I'm ready to set up Round 3 - Group 2 if someone will coach me through the algorithm so I get everything right...

[Gloria]

I've just finished Alberto's book and posted a review.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[Jay]

Thanks, Gloria - this novel obviously made quite an impression on you! I must read it when I can.

[Marie-Anne]

I have posted my review of Steve's book here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... and will add to Amazon this weekend

[Jay]

Thanks, Marie-Anne :)

[Jay]

Thanks, Ali :)

[Alberto]

I just realized I posted in the wrong area... so again, here is my review of Marie-Anne's novel:

[Jay]

Thanks, Alberto :)

If we don't receive the book for review are we to assume that the author decided not to have it reviewed for this round?
thank you"

I will message Jason and see what's happened here, Steve.

[K.A.]

Hi, Ali, if you click on the "Review Rounds" heading at the top of this page, it will open up the entire spectrum of Rounds/Groups, where you can find the Round 3 - Group 2 thread.

[Jay]

Thanks, Steve, that's perfect :)

[Jay]

What was that, Steve? Were you trying to tell me something? (!)
Excellent review. It doesn't sound like anything I'd normally choose, but I'm tempted to just for the excuse to listen to the album again. (OMG - it's running through my brain right now and I know it won't stop before bedtime!)

[Marie-Anne]

Steve wrote: "Spoiler alert!!!!Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!Spoiler alert!!!!!!!!!!

If you read the review it will spoil the book for you and probably spoil your day too. You've been warned.

Very funny!

[Jay]

Hello, my name is Jay, and I'm a joke junkie.

[Laura]

Hi, I posted a review for Sandra's bookCharlotte Perkins - Gold Digger

Thanks, Laura. The link to your review is http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I can recommend Evaleen the Queen - great read!

[Anne]

Thanks for keeping an eye out, Marie-Anne! I'm learning the hard way that actual links are important. We have some folks who are in multiple groups...it can get confusing in here.

[Anne]

Looks to me like everyone's reviews are in for this Round. Here's one that wasn't posted before...
