Just bought your book. I think I'm gonna like this. :D"
THANK YOU!
Link to my review of How to Be Bad: A Decision Select Novelhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Link to my review of Atancia

Okay I think I am going to do Monica's Famine, Jason's What Hides Within, and Jennifer's Into the Veil. As I said I'll be able to pick this up around the third of May, and since I'm off to visit my grandma not long after that I will have tons of reading time!
Didn't like mine? ;)Just kidding! Enjoy your visit!
Hey! I just saw something! I went and looked at my novel on the Kindle Store - and the algorithms said that "people who bought this" also bought Atancia! We're building an algorithmic support net!
If this list stays short, I will try to do as many as I can year's end. Jason, does it matter which of your novels I review?
I only have the one available. The Drifter is being re-edited.
They both sound interesting, but which one I try would entirely depend on my 13 year-old girl mood swings. No offense to any 13 year-old girls who are presently mood swinging. ah, like me one day, hate me the next.

I agree. I can already see what I'll be doing for the next few months.
I picked up Jason's What Hides Within for my second, and I'll make my way through the list.
And I would love to know how everyone creates the book links on here:( I'm obviously technically inept.
Jason wrote: "And just bout Into the Veil; looks interesting!"Thanks;)
I added your

and Tiger's
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... to my 'to read' list. I'll grab them soon.
Well so far I'm pretty much planning to grab everyone's book though those with physical copies available may be the first ones read haha. All I know is I'm gonna go broke with this but I regret nothing!
Jennifer - if you are on a browser (not the app) there is an "add book/ author" link that will allow you to search and find them.
Just now purchased Jennifer's Into the Veil. Will read after Monica's Famine and post reviews. Wow. Like others have expressed, I suddenly have more than enough to read (not that I already didn't!). This was a great idea, Courtney!

We all had the same questions at one time or another. It took me to like last week to finally figure out how to include spoilers, and pictures... forget about it.

I'll join in, but in a couple of months. I'm maxed out on a book budget for now.
I'd love to participate. This is a great idea. Is anyone willing to "trade" shorter works with me? Mine is a 15,000 word Novelette - Sentencing Day.Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JPWMF8E
Kobo/Epub: http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/eboo...
Nook: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sente...
Let me know! I'd love to purchase, read, and review your work.
Just finished yours Jason C. Great job. Hopefully I'll have a moment to write the review tomorrow.

Don't worry! It took me awhile to figure it out too. When in doubt, google! ;)
What an awesome idea! I would love to participate! This is mine:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I'm not an especially fast reader, but I will have three reviews up within two months. I chose Sentencing Day (Brian Van Slyke), Into the Veil (Jennifer R. McDonald), and Atancia (Wren Figueiro). Though, I will try to get everyone listed above within the year.
I can't participate at the moment. I don't have enough time and my waiting list is already a bit too long.Anyway, I just wanted to say that I have read Chains of Prophecy by Jason and loved it. The storyline will give you something to think about long after you've finished it.
I'd recommend the book to anyone with an open mind. Don't let the 'religious' part of it turn you away.
Thank you for the plug, GG! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Michael wrote: "I haven't a clue other than the fact that Amazon is just super weird like that"I can guess, Michael...re can't add a review to Amazon---unless you bought it on Amazon-- they will not let you post; this might not apply if you are a Prime member. This even applies to Amazon UK which really gets my goat! And this might be a topic for a whole new thread-- why can't all a writer's reviews be compiled? Such as GoodReads(which Amazon now owns) and especially Amazon UK with Amazon? Right now-- they are not-- so you will show, for ex., 2 reviews on Amazon-- yet your total may be far above b/c your reviews are scattered. Grrrrrr!
I'm on. Below are my GR links.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

was gonna buy three books but my budget was killed a lil bit.I bought Chains of Prophecy What Hides Within
no problem! it'll take 3-5 days since I like my books in physical copies.
Just reviewed Atancia by Wren. Onward to Chains of Prophecy!
Thanks Michael! And thanks for posting. I don't know if this happens to everyone, but when I log on to GR after someone has posted a review I can see that the number of reviews went up, but I can't see the actual review. It doesn't let me see it until the next day unless I know who wrote it.
happens to me too Wren. i just tend to go with it, though the suspense kills me haha
Wren, Michael: LOL, same here! I can't stand the wait! Brian: I started reading Sentencing Day this morning... and it's ridiculous how much I am loving it! It's killing me not to have it finished already, but I homeschool my son, so the bulk of my attention goes there. I will have a review posted by tonight. =)
Wren, I noticed the same thing. It's kind of aggravating. I wonder if anyone else has a solution?
Ember, wow - thank you so much! That means a lot. I will download your book and get reading and then reviewing shortly!

Thanks Michael, and everyone who is participating!
I've deleted the comments unrelated to the challenge of this thread. The value of reviews is another topic. Anyone who wishes to participate in that discussion, please feel free to start a new topic. This thread is only for the Pay It Forward challenge, to support each other's work, and have fun.Also, please be assured you can contact any of the mods at any time if you have concerns with unfair favortism and such in any of the challenges posted in this group. We're here for you :)
Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm working on a bunch of RL stuff right now - my MA, teacher training, etc - but I'll be back to reading my fellow fringies soon!
Suggestion. Maybe this isn't necessarily important to others, so take it as my preference and if it's not yours, disregard. When you include your book, could you use the cover link rather than just the title link? Or mention a genre? It may seem lazy of me to be trying to make fewer clicks but I want to select books I am likely to enjoy. There are many perfectly good, even wonderful books in the world that I would not like. (I'm allergic to vampires, for example.)Also, could you mention whether you have multiple editions or Kindle-only? Since I don't buy Kindle books (have a Nook and the conversion process is quite a hassle to me). I'd like to participate, but ... Is there a way to make a list of all the titles and their genres with covers, and how many reader/reviewers each has? As this project grows that might be helpful.
I think it's up to each person to keep track. All anyone has to do, and no one is under obligation, is post your own book, then read three books. If you want to do more, that's up to you.Posting both titles and cover link might be more helpful.
Amber wrote: "Suggestion. Maybe this isn't necessarily important to others, so take it as my preference and if it's not yours, disregard. When you include your book, could you use the cover link rather than jus..."I agree with Amber. It would definitely help to have a list in one place to reference. If it was the first entry, that would make it easy to find.
A bookshelf could be started I suppose, people could just add their books, something like that.I don't think this needs to be that complicated, and I know neither Courtney or myself have the time to do a big date collection report. Just read, if you want, if you've already read that book, find another.
Mod
I'm sorry people have to scroll a bit to find the books people are offering. Hopefully it's not too inconvenient.
Or maybe if Amber has some time available she can start a new topic to list the stats and gradually update as personal review, add books? That would be helpful but no obligation if you're too busy yourself ^^
