Group 41 (18+) Finished
Hi everyoneNow it's been accepted that Oliver Markus and Oliver Gaspirtz are the same person, and Oliver Markus was blacklisted as he:
a) didn't like his first review so 1* rated his reviewer
b) didn't give any of the 4 reviews for G34
so shouldn't be allowed into this group under his other pen name...
... guess what? You're stuck with me!
If you are due a review from Oliver and haven't had one, PM me and I'll fill in, but I can't guarantee timescale as I'm very short-changed in the time department now. All I can promise is that I'll get to your book asap.
If you are due to review Oliver's book, can I ask that you review the group's charity anthology instead?
Thanks :)
I could take on another one, I think it's only Tara I could help out, and I have already reviewed Teaching Maya. If there is another book Tara would like reviewed I would be happy to help out once I've completed the 4 assigned to me.
Jay / Emma, I don't mind having a missing a review.

I'm pretty sure you've already sent me a copy of your book - which makes me feel awfully guilty about not reviewing it yet... Sorry! Could you send it again? I'll PM you the address, and I'll ensure you're on the 'list' - the actual physical, 'important to do because the people deserve it', 'remind me as as I have no option', 'remind me because I want to' to do it list.
Emma - please give me a kick about what I've promised to whom if I lose track.
LOL Thanks Jay, but honestly I don't mind. I will send it (just in case you get a chance in the future.
:) Thanks again
:) Thanks again
I'm not short by Oliver leaving, I don't think. I was supposed to review his book, not the other way around. But I can grab another book, if need be.

Thanks, Tara, that's very kind of you. You really are a terrific group, so supportive. Why is it that some groups turn out that way yet others have more than their share of back-biting and complaints?Emma - I really am at a loss now - I haven't a clue who is expecting a review from me, so could you work it out and let me know please?
cheers :)

Yes, I have Dianne's book but I've lost track of who is picking up which books to help out. Dianne has offered but cannot help with those on the this list. Tara has offered, but I don't know which one. EG has offered, but I don't know which one. I think that will leave me 1 + Dianne's (which I already have).
Perhaps the author(s) who still need reviews could contact me for an address to send the book to?
Jay, It looks like you have me round 2. My internet is sketchy where I am staying this week so these are my links. My book is a free download including at amazon UK. If you need a file sent to you, I'll get it to you next week. Thanks so much!

OK, Jayne - I'll get on it as soon as I can, but please forgive me if I don't quite manage the round end date.
No worries whatsoever! Have a great week.
I will be short of a review too but I am in no real hurry. The others can go first. :)

I think I'm already scheduled to read Lisa's book, in round 4, if I'm not mistaken?
Yes, Tara is down to read my story :) Oliver was meant to be round 3.

Okay. I messaged Jaye, but for the group record, Now I've finished reading my 3 of my 4 this round (look for reviews by Monday). My 4th was Oliver's. I can take another. Let me know.
Thanks Tara.Emma
Could those of you doing fill in reviews say that when you post the review? Otherwise it'll get even more confusing LOL!
You are welcome, I hope I did it justice!

You are welcome :)
You're welcome E. I've got 'Words and Water' in my review queue along with two others, but I can pick up one of Oliver's and complete within the month if you still need help.
That'd be great, I'm sure Jay will appreciate the help too.The only one I can see that you can fill in for is M. Scott Patterson book. That was Oliver's fourth round review.
I think the other three missing reviews are due to review you (Jayne Blue, Lisa Marie Gabriel, D.M Wolfenden.)

I'd be happy to read M. Scott's book. Should I go ahead and contact M for a review copy?

Hi EI am still available to pick up one more book also.
Thanks
Stella, if you can review Jayne Blue's book, with E.G. reviewing M.Scott Patterson's book that just leave two, Lisa Marie and DM missing reviews.Thanks for the offer M, but all of the books Oliver was due to review would result in a reciprocal review, which is against group rules.
Thanks, you guys are awesome.
Glad I could help. I will PM Jayne now.
My review for round four:Jayne Blue's The Offer
Really fun book, Jayne. The whole lineup was gold, and I appreciate these authors letting me read their work. Thank you all!

I was booked to review Oliver but If he isn't taking part then I can remove him and replace with Lisa if that makes life easier?
** Dash it!! Sorry, I just realised that she has me in round 4...
