Group 84. 18+. Mod: Emma

[Emma]

In joining this group you have agreed TO REVIEW ANY ALLOCATED BOOK within the set 12 week limit.
If you don’t agree to that tell me now so that I can find another member who will do so.
This is the ‘18+’ group. Anyone is free to enter any genre book in this group, but should be aware that they will predominantly be reviewing books with explicit sex and/or violence.
Allocation is entirely random and there will NOT be any rearranging of the listing to accommodate genre preference. The ONLY circumstance in which you may duck out of giving a review is if YOU provide a stand-in reviewer.

Let’s be honest here – we don’t all like the same things but we all want reviews. The only way this group can function is if we trust each other to behave honourably. And it IS perfectly possible to give a fair-minded review of a text that does not coincide with our normal choice of reading matter. If you need a few hints/tips, please see this thread:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Your group moderator will be

Please let me know as you sign up if you have been reviewed by, or have reviewed another author in the group. It is permissible to review an author more than once if a different book is available, but reciprocal reviews within the group are strictly prohibited.

[Ed]

I'd like to submit my latest: Molelith.

A tongue in cheek supernatural crime thriller with an edge.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Emma]

Welcome back Ed.

[Travis]

I would like to submit my book to this group.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Emma]

Welcome aboard Travis, can you claim your author page here
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
so its easy for the other members of the group to find you. You can review under the other name if you wish.

[Travis]

I am running into issues claiming my author page, since I have 2 names I publish under (they are very similar, but I write in 2 very different genre's). So my account is tied into my "Main" author account, as opposed to the name I use for young adult.

[Emma]

A goodreads librarian should be able to sort it out for you,
they can be found hanging out here:
https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

[Laurel]

I'd like to submit my romantic suspense to this group.

The Wrong Kind of Man

[Emma]

welcome Laurel

[Emma]

Carly, I'm going to give some other people a chance to get into a group, you have applied to join all 10 of the last groups you are eligible to join, and you are currently in 7 of them.

[Helen]

Hi Emma,

Would I be able to join in this group now that I've completed my obligations for group 74 and list Northern Heights again?



Author Profile.


Northern Heights.



I haven't written any reviews for any of the members listed so far and I have only received one off your good self.

[Leah]

Hi, I would like to submit by book to this group.
Frappe Today Dead Tomorrow

[Emma]

welcome aboard Leah, you need to claim your author profile,
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

[Iris]

Hi, I would like to submit my book, "Love, Loss and Longing in the Age of Reagan: Diary of a Mad Club Girl" to this group: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And here's my author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thanks so much!!

[Ed]

Looks like this is going to be a chick-lit round! Ha!
But that's okay by me...

[Helen]

Hi Ed, We'll make an honourary woman of you yet. It's a shame I'm over here in the UK or I would have popped round to paint your toes while we watched a Patrick Swayze film :)

[Melody]

Emma,
I'd like to join. I've reviewed you and Laurel is in the process of reviewing me in the one for one round. Alas, I only have the 1 book so far. I'm working on #2 though. :)

It so happens I loved Patrick Swayze. 'Ghost' was my favorite, but 'Dirty Dancing' and 'Point Break' are right up there.

[Emma]

I can fit you in Melody, but only if you review me again.Sorry!

[T.L.]

Am I able to squeeze in, please?
I don't mind reviewing a 2nd book by an author I've already reviewed. :-)

This book: Broken & Damaged Love

But with a 2nd option (if anyone objects to Broken's subject as it's sensitive): Rekindled Love

[Emma]

Who are your clashes T L?

[Melody]

Emma wrote: "I can fit you in Melody, but only if you review me again.Sorry!"
If I must. :)

[Elizabeth]

Hi, I would like to submit my book Sebastian: The life of Sebastian and Hanna Greene for reviewSebastian: The Life of Sebastian and Hanna Greene .

[T.L.]

Emma wrote: "Who are your clashes T L?"

Your good self, Emma.
And I reviewed Northern Heights before (and enjoyed it).
That's it though, now I've actually checked.

Sorry; a bit 6s and 7s at the moment.

xx

[Emma]

I'm going to have to ask you to wait till the next group TL, at this late stage it was impossible to fit you in.
But these 18+ are getting very popular so I'll be starting another very shortly.

The rest of you, I'll be sorting the order out ASAP.

[Emma]

Laurel, I'm going to enter you in the group by the author name of your book, it just makes it simpler for everyone. You are welcome to review under either name as long as you post the links.

[Emma]

Please remember the commitment you are making to your fellow group members. If you pull out after the start date for any reason it is the other members who will be faced with the problem of finding a replacement, or missing out on reviews, through no fault of their own. Please don’t ask the moderators to chase after replacements as we just don’t have the time.

It is the responsibility of the author to get their book to their reviewer in a format the reviewer can manage. There are no set dates for the start of each round. You can each work at your own pace, within the limits of the round deadlines. All reviews must be posted by 15th Jan 2016

All reviews must be posted to GR, Amazon .com and Amazon.co.uk and all three links are to be posted on this thread.

Postings to any other sites are by agreement by both author and reviewer.

If I’ve missed something that results in you being asked to review someone who has already reviewed you, please let me know asap.

Please start to exchange your book files. My advice is to use PM to give email addresses to each other (save the chance of spammers getting your addies from this open forum). Happy reviewing!

[Emma]

For those 4 people reviewing me, feel free to pick any of my books to review.
I also have a KU account, so will be downloading any of the books I am to review

Ed Morawski for round 1
T. Starnes for round 2
Lolli Powell for round 3
Michael Patrick Lewis for round 4

from amazon.

[Iris]

Okay. Just to confirm because I've never done this before. Four people will review me and I will review four people at the specified deadline (i.e. round 1, round 2, etc)?

[Emma]

That's right Iris, you send your book to the people under your name in the first list. They will review you.
Leah Fichett for round 1
Helen E Barrow for round 2
Michael Patrick Lewis for round 3
Lolli Powell for round 4

and the four people under your name in the second list will send you their books, which you have to review.
Melody Jerva for round 1
Elizabeth Johnson for round 2
Emma Jaye for round 3
Ed Morawski for round 4

You can review those books in any order you like, but you need to finish the reviews by the deadline date, or earlier. You can ask for all the books at once, or wait until you are ready for the next one.

[Iris]

Thanks. Leah, I'm having a hard time messaging you via Goodreads. Can you please send me your e-mail address to me at irisdorbian@gmail.com and then I'll send you the file for my book for you to read and review?

Thanks.

Iris

[Ed]

Here's a tip for any author who needs to send out a Kindle (mobi) version of their book:

On your Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing page, go to your bookshelf, click on the book you want, scroll down to Preview. Under Preview there is a link to Download a preview file. Click on this link and it will download a .mobi copy of your book to your computer.

Hopefully you have a Kindle Direct Publishing page. If you don't you should.

[Emma]

Goood idea, I hadn't thought of that. I can get a mobi, epub and pdf copy, complete with embedded cover, title page and copyright page et al via draft2digital. You don't have to go on to publish with them.

[Melody]

T. Starnes,
For some reason there is not an option to send you a message from your author page. Can you please send me a message so I can get a copy of your book?

[Melody]

Leah Fichett,
For some reason there is not an option to send you a message from your author page. Can you please send me a message so I can get a copy of my book to you?

[Emma]

Go to Travis's message, (number 4) go to his author profile,
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... click on on the arrow next to follow author and you'll get a send message option.

Samr thing for Leah.https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4...

These authors are having trouble claiming their author profiles. If you are having trouble, always try finding people from their sign up message.
