I think this is the best. We shouldn't anger Amazon with reciprocal reviews.

I canceled this request, and put your book back in the pool.

Dia, please choose another book.

Thank you,

[K.T.]

I might as well finish the group! I'll contact Rachael about Mindful Mornings.

Thanks,
K.T.

Thank you, K.T.. I marked you as reading Rachael's book. Please let me know when you receive it, so I can keep track of the review. Thank you.

Shoot. I did already read and review this story on goodreads (see review below). I did not yet post on amazon, I won't at this point. But could I still get credit for another review?

Also, it is worth noting that I review with my personal amazon account (not my author account and pen name). So I don't know if that eliminates some of the risk.

Let's avoid reciprocal reviews at all cost. Amazon is taking this more and more seriously, reviews are being removed by the dozens. In most cases, they are perfectly aware of someone having both a personal and an author account.

Please choose another book, from someone who has not reviewed any of your books before.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we have to keep Amazon's rules.

[Dia]

Do you want me to pull my goodreads review of the book too?

It seems an onerous task to ask us to track all the people who've reviewed our books. Especially if we've been participating in multiple forums including the general forum and shorter books forum (sometimes books can sit in a pool for weeks/months). I would ask that if there is a problem with a selected book that we be contacted by the author via PM so we don't go through the time and effort of reading and reviewing a book in vain.

If you reviewed under your personal account and it is not linked to your author stuff at all, I think that will work. I know I've done that before with a few other authors in other review groups when there were too many conflicts.

If You are okay to post it to Amazon Dia, knowing the risks, under that account I'm willing to accept it.

I don't know if that messes anything up Attila. I'd hate for her to do all that work and then not get the credit. Short story or not.

Thanks,
K.T.

If, knowing the risks, you are okay with it, then it would be fine by me -- except your book has been chosen by someone else in the meantime.

Quickly get it back for another review, Dia can post on Amazon with your approval, and it will all get sorted out. How about that? :)

[Dia]

OK. Once the Gate Guardian's Daughter is back in the review pool, could you please reserve it for me? Thank you, Dia

Rachael just sent me her book. I'll try to get it reviewed asap.

Thanks,

Sure. K.T. has a review for her book coming in, so it shouldn't be long. In fact, why don't you go ahead and post the reviews, and post the links to them in the "Include my book" section? That way when K.T. posts, I'll be able to immediately add yours, too.

You have already reviewed this book in the main pool. A person can only do one review per book. I'm going to have to reject this request. Please choose another book that you have not reviewed before.

[Aditi]

Hello Attila - I'd like to review "Arrival at Portal Island". Please send a PDF copy at authoraditiagarwal@gmail.com

"Formats: Kindle Unlimited, Kindle Gift"

There is no PDF version, the book is only available in the listed formats. Is any of the available formats good for you? Can you read it on Kindle Unlimited? If not, then can you accept gifts through Amazon? Are you aware of the file size and the fact that you need a color reader to read it? Please read the description in the listing carefully before confirming.

Thank you for letting me know, Chris. It's only been a little over a day. Let's give Samantha another day. If you still don't have the book by then, I'll send her a reminder.

In our excessively digitized world, I sometimes forget what a good idea it is not to be on the Internet all the time! File is now received, so I should be reading it and reviewing it in the next couple of days. Thanks :)

Chris has just reviewed your book. This would create a reciprocal review, which is a huge no-no for Amazon. Unless Chris explicitly agrees to this review, and you both knowingly risk both reviews being deleted by Amazon, please choose a book by someone else, someone who has not reviewed any of your books.

Please give an e-mail address, and what format you prefer from the ones that the book is available in. You've given your e-mail address before, but the author only sees your last message, and won't know where to send it.
