H.A. Larson | 56 comments Thank you!

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments First review of the group! Thanks Loralee.


message 53: by H.A. (new)

H.A. Larson | 56 comments I am supposed to review Steven's book first, but I still haven't heard from him nor can I message him. I guess I'll start with my Round 2 book so I'm not wasting time here.

H.A. if you go to message 15 on the first page of this Group conversation, you should be able to click on his name and message him from there. It was confusing to me, too.


message 55: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments Hi HA

For some reason Steven has two profiles. I know you can't message him from his author's profile. But he posted his original message from this one: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4... - so I guess you can contact him via that.

Meanwhile if you want to start with your round 2, no, there's no problem.

Steven, if you see this post, one or two people seem to have had trouble contacting you because of this - perhaps you could get in contact with them.

P.M.F. Johnson (pmfjohnson) | 230 comments I have submitted reviews for Echoes from Idaho's Snake River Valley to Goodreads, Amazon, and Amazon UK. Amazon says they are processing the review (this is new?)

The Goodreads review appears on the page of the book.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The review and star ratings are the same across the three platforms.

On to the next book!


message 57: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments Got it, thanks PMF. Can you please post the links to the Amazon reviews when you have them. Yes, the Goodreads reviews are posted instantaneously but it takes Amazon a little while to process the review, check it for profanity etc. They will usually email you the link in about 10 minutes - a bit longer in the case of Amazon UK.

Folks, if you can post all three links at the same time, you will make my life easier.


message 58: by P.M.F. (new)

P.M.F. Johnson (pmfjohnson) | 230 comments Here's the Amazon UK link
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Echoes-Idahos...

Here's the Amazon US link
http://www.amazon.com/Echoes-Idahos-S...

In the future I will wait and post all three links at once!


message 59: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments That's great, many thanks.

If anyone finds Amazon a bit temperamental, let me know; there are occasional problems for some people.

Mike, you got mine too, I believe? That's my second review, so I'm half-way done.


message 64: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn Occhipinti (stellalucente) | 29 comments I would be happy to review books of any genre. I have a degree in English literature and have just written and self published a series of books called Conversational Italian for Travelers to teach adults Italian. I would like my 99 page Just the Phrases book reviewed. Is it too late to join this group to review?


message 65: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments Hi Kathryn - yes it is, but new rounds start up all the time.Keep an eye on the group for new rounds forming, and I'm sure there'll be a chance soon.

I have now, Loralee! Thanks for mentioning it. I had seen the notification and assumed it applied to Darrell's post so didn't see yours just above. I've marked it as done now.

message 68: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments That's great Loralee, thank you very much. That makes three of your reviews done - it looks like you're going to finish before most of the group have even started!

For the rest of you, you do still have some days in hand before the first review is overdue (on December 9).

Hi CA - these appear to be links to the book's pages, not to the reviews themselves, and I am having trouble identifying them. Do you have the links to the reviews, please? Amazon should have emailed you the links for their pages; the Goodreads review should show up when you open the book page when logged in.


message 74: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments We are having a bit of a slow start to this group - round 1 ends in four days, and so far we have only three of the ten round 1 reviews. Anyone else ready to post?


message 75: by C.A. (new)

C.A. Pack (capack) | 46 comments Hopefully, I got it right this time.

Duly noted! Thank you!

That means we have half the round 1 reviews in, with the other half outstanding - round 1 ends in three days' time.

message 85: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments Thanks H.A., but I would really rather you posted them all at once - we have had this discussion before.

Has Amazon not emailed you the links for either review? They should do so within an hour at most (for the US, almost at once).

If the reviews are not being posted, try going into your profile - e.g. sign in to Amazon, find one of your reviews, click on your username, and then you should see all your reviews. See if your latest one is also showing up there and if it is, press "edit", then save - it may then show up on the book page. This trick has helped one or two others who have had problems with Amazon, apparently.


message 86: by H.A. (new)

H.A. Larson | 56 comments Sorry about that, I just wanted Hock to at least be able to see one. I work 12-hour graveyards on Tues, Wed, and Thurs so I will check when I get to work.


message 87: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments I used to do night work - I hated it. May the Force be with you.
Try and post all three at once, please, HA - this must be a soluble problem.

There you go, I amended my original to reflect all the reviews.

That's great, another off the list.

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 551 comments Lovely, thanks C.A! That was your round 2.

We still have three reviews for round 1 not posted yet (though in one of these cases the reviewer's done her round 3 instead). If anyone has a problem with a deadline, do let me know. It can happen for a number of reasons (the dog ate my laptop, I was abducted by aliens, etc - or illness, or domestic crisis; we all have these). If you tell me you are going to be a bit late, I can reassure whoever it is whose book you are reviewing that it will get done in time, and they should go ahead and fulfill their own obligations.
