Emma Jaye | 3693 comments This is a genre specific group.
Only adult fiction involving concrete contemporary or past situations can be included. Mysteries, thrillers, action and adventures, contemporary/historical romances, literary fiction etc. No aliens, elves, vampires, stories set in the future, non-fiction or children's books.
In joining this group you have agreed TO READ AND REVIEW ANY FOUR ALLOCATED BOOKS within the set 12 week limit.

Allocation is entirely random and there will NOT be any rearranging of the listing to accommodate preferences. 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 – even within the same genre, 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/...

Make sure you have an author profile set up before you join and that your book is available for sale on amazon (not pre-0rder).

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.

Once we have ten members, I'll set up the order of reviewing and we can get started.

Your group moderator will be
Warren Dean

P. Zoro (pzoro) | 106 comments Hi Emma

Can I join this group? My book "The Sleeping Pool" is an action/adventure with a slight hint of fantasy but it is set "in this world." I have just signed out of Group 107.

Regards


message 8: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments if there's magic/supernatural involved then its a no, only 'concrete' things in this one.
However, if the magic remains a myth, then its ok. E.g. researching the Sleeping pool, examining it etc, but not if anything 'magical' actually happens.


message 10: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments Just checking, everything in your book is actually currently possible, right?

Robert Brown | 90 comments Emma wrote: "Just checking, everything in your book is actually currently possible, right?"

Yes, in theory. It's a small advance on gene splitting.


message 12: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments It's a shame I'm not in this one, I specialised in genetics!
I'll add you in.


message 13: by J.B. (new)

J.B. Trepagnier (jbtrepagnier) Is mine in? I haven't been added to the list yet, but I put my links. Everything in mine is possible


message 14: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments Sorry, thanks for the reminder J.B.


message 15: by Philip (new)

Philip Palios I'm interested in joining this review group!

Book: Electric Love
Author Profile: Philip Palios


message 16: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments Welcome Philip.


message 17: by David (new)

David Fisher | 116 comments Hi, I'm confused. Are thrillers etc. excluded or not?
ATB David


message 18: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments Only stories that contain currently impossible, or magical elements are excluded.
So unless you have a thriller that involves vampires, cyborgs, zombies or is set on planet Zog or in the far future, you're good to go.

David Fisher | 116 comments Sorry, is this what you mean? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 23: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments That's the thing. I put the links into the list in the sign up message so the other authors can contact you to send you their book, and find your book so they can submit their reviews.


message 24: by David (new)

David Fisher | 116 comments Great. Must I do anything at this moment?


message 25: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments Nope. We wait for the tenth member to sign up, then I will allocate who is reviewing who, and off we go.

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. Everyone must be able to accept PDF. 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.

When you have posted your reviews, please post the three links to your reviews in this thread.

All reviews must be posted to GR, Amazon .com and Amazon.co.uk.

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.

To exchange 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, everyone :)

You're on my list to send a copy of my book Circumstantial Truth to. Can you give me an email contact and I'll forward a copy asap.

J.B. Trepagnier (jbtrepagnier) Adelise, I didn't have the option to message you on your page. Can you email me at jbtrepagnier@gmail.com and let me know what format to send you my novel?

If I'm set to review you, you can send a mobi or PDF to the above address

message 44: by Philip (new)

Philip Palios I only read books in print. I think I must have missed the fact that this is an e-book review group. I don't have an e-reader and can't stand reading on a screen. I'm so sorry, but I think I will have to leave the group.


message 45: by Augustine (new)

Augustine Sam (augustinesam) | 66 comments Hi Warren,
I wanted to send you a pm but your account is set to private. Emma tells me someone has dropped out of group 112. Is it possible for me to take up the spot? I sent my details earlier on the current thread.

Thanks
Augustine


message 46: by Warren (new)

Warren Dean | 321 comments Hi Augustine, I will ask Emma to include you on the list.

I'm not sure why you had a problem with the pm, I'll have a look at my settings.


message 47: by Augustine (new)

Augustine Sam (augustinesam) | 66 comments Since I haven't received any feedback, and apparently the review rounds have already begun, I assume I'm not included, right?


message 48: by Warren (new)

Warren Dean | 321 comments No worries, Augustine, you're in. If you need a bit of catch-up time, it won't be a problem.

Everyone, Augustine has replaced Philip, so he will send his book to:

J. B. Trepagnier for round 1
Robert A Brown for round 2
Adelise M. Cullens for round 3
Diana Febry for round 4

He will review books from:

David S. Fisher for round 1
Laura Libricz for round 2
Darci Doll for round 3
Ian G. Welch for round 4

Here are Augustine's links:

message 49: by Augustine (new)

Augustine Sam (augustinesam) | 66 comments Thanks Warren,
I'm all set, waiting for the books.
For Adelise, your message option is not active. Please let me have your email address at your earliest convenience. Thanks
Augustine
