Group 114 Out of this world. Mod Warren.
I have got all the books i am reviewing through ku apart from Dans i havd bought that one out right. My book is in Ku for those of you reviewing mine.
Ah! I have a new alias!I am not sure how that happened, but because Emma is super busy I was just going to disregard it.

Does that mean you did not get my message, Dan?
Bum. added the wrong link in the data base, by all means go from the links in the sign up message. I'll change the Buri's to Gillis's
Purchase is NOT required, but of course I can't stop anyone buying a book. The 'free copy' guidelines are just to stop anyone feeling pressurised to spend money to join a group.I have KU too, personally I think it's an essential expense for authors. We all need to keep up to date with what is going on with our genre. And the work of others, , the good, the bad and the ugly, assessing what works and what doesn't, is an essential way to hone your own craft.

We have our ten.
I can start up anther 'out of this world' in a week or so as they..."
Ah, no worries, thanks for trying - I'll keep an eye peeled for the next group. Have fun reading, all!
My first review is here for my second round book: 'Ghostmaker' by Eric Michael Craig.I have only managed to be so quick because it really is just a very short book, sadly the only one I could review of Eric's in this round. Besides, I have a reputation to keep up with Warren for being the fastest reader in the group ;)

I also want to add my thanks to Emma and Warren for setting this up and for moderating.

Hi Eric, PM me with your email address, and I will surprise you with the format =), as I have all 3.

Eric wrote: "I also want to add my thanks to Emma and Warren for setting this up and for moderating."Pleasure, Eric, although it is Emma who does the heavy lifting. I just have to stop E.M. from doing all of the reviews herself!

Oh poops!I went away for the weekend, and it looks like I missed the sign-up :(
You snooze, you lose, I guess.
Still, I've got a one for one review to get on with :)
Another 'out of this world' is forming (119) for those who missed out on this one.

I enjoyed this one a lot :)
Good lord! I thought I was cruising along on my first book and here you are cruising along on your third. Yeesh! I want to be like you when I grow up.
L.N. wrote: "wow! you're killing it =D."Shhhh! Don't tell Warren ;)

I did get a head start with the first book being a real short as I have already reviewed the other two by that author.
I suspect it'll be a bit longer for the next two as I have some writing I really, really gotts to get done....

I won't, if you don't! XD

I'm thinking that it is time to introduce a handicap system for reviewers who post well in advance of the deadline!After the first offence, the reviewer has to read the next book with one eye closed.
After the second offence, future reviews must be typed with one finger.
After the third offence...!
(Leo, feel free to jump in any time!)
I'm not Leo, but how about the reviewer has to provide a dramatic reading of her/his review in Klingon while eating marshmallows.
...on YouTube!Actually, you may have something there, we should start a You Tube channel for humorous review presentations!
*grumbles*bortaS bIr jablu’DI’ reH QaQqu’ nay’!
If I put any more feeling into it I'll spray everyone with marshmallow...

Amazon UK took a full day to show up - but made it eventually.
..and just as I am practicing typing single-fingered, with one eye closed whilst reading out in Klingon with a mouth full of marshmallow - on youtube (did I miss anything there ;) ?) - could I also put an offer out....If anyone I have reviewed would like any further thoughts on their writing from me, whilst it is still fresh in my mind (typos, inconsistencies etc.), or would like me to post my reviews somewhere else to help with publicity, please shoot me a PM :)
You forgot the pink sombrero! Back to the start...
