[Brandon]

Hey friends. I'm new to the good reads community and am about to release my first book about leadership and personal branding. If anyone is willing, I'd love to invite you to read the book and leave your honest reviews. It was written as a way to help leaders take more initiative in their personal development to get more noticed in their jobs.

If this resonates with you, I'd appreciate your help. Also let me know how I can be of service to this community.

The book is called:
FRONT & CENTER LEADERSHIP: How Leaders Use Personal Branding to Stand Out and How You Can Too

Thank you for your consideration.

[Ostap]

Hi everyone, I’m Ostap 👋

I’m 25 years old, a Christian, and currently serving in the Ukrainian military, where I work as a cook. It’s been three years of service, and in my free time, I’ve been searching for something meaningful and creative to focus on — that’s how I discovered the world of children’s books.

Before the war, I worked as a financial advisor. Now, writing brings me peace, purpose, and hope.
As a beginner in publishing, I’m still learning and growing — so I’d truly appreciate any honest feedback you’re willing to share on my books.

Please don’t judge too harshly — but do be honest 🙂
Thank you for reading and supporting!

I thank you all in advance, and I look forward to reading and sharing with you as well.

[Eliza]

Hello, lovely readers!
My name is Eliza, a brand new member of this community. I’m so happy to be here among kindred spirits who believe in the magic of stories. My heart is especially full right now, because I’ve just released The Dreamweaver—a tender, whimsical tale about a tiny spider named Flurry who weaves threads of courage, friendship, and wonder.
This story is very dear to me—it was born from a quiet dream and has grown into a little book I hope will bring comfort and inspiration to children and the young hearted.
If you enjoy heartwarming adventures, bedtime magic, or stories that remind us of the beauty in small things, I’d be so grateful if you could take a moment to read The Dreamweaver and share your honest thoughts in a review. Your words mean more than you know—they help this little dream travel further than it ever could on its own. 💕
Thank you for being here, for reading, and for weaving your own magic into this community.
With gratitude,
Eliza :)

Hi everyone 💕

I’m an indie romance author, and I write dark, forbidden love stories where mafia kings, ruthless billionaires, and heroines who dare to fight for love collide in a storm of passion, power, and danger. I’m currently looking for a few kind readers who’d be open to giving honest reviews of my books on Amazon.

If you’re interested, I’d be more than happy to send you the book link for free. Your feedback would mean the world to me and really help other readers discover my stories.

📩 You can reach me at sekyig9@gmail.com
if you’d like a copy.

Thank you so much in advance for your support 🌹💌 (less) "

[Eliza]

Hello kind souls :),
My name is Eliza, I’m looking for a few beta readers who would love to read a gentle, magical children’s story — a tale filled with kindness, dreams, and the warmth of Christmas.
My story, Flurry the Dreamweaver: The Lost Christmas Star, follows a tiny spider named Flurry and her friends on a whimsical journey to bring back the light of the Christmas Star. It’s written for children aged 4–10, and carries messages of friendship, forgiveness, and hope.
I would be truly grateful for your thoughts on:
How the story feels to read aloud (rhythm, flow, emotional tone)
Whether the story holds a child’s attention
How the characters and message come across
The story is around 15 pages / 3300 words long, and I can share it as a PDF document. Any feedback — big or small — would mean so much and help me polish it before publication.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d love to send you a copy!
Thank you so much for considering, and for helping bring a little more magic into the world.
With warmth and starlight,
Eliza

PS: Im not if I posted this to a proper group, but I'm new to this platform and it seems very confusing.
