Thank you, Lisa.

I would like to join this group, but won't be available right away. What is the start date for the next round of reviews?

[Emma]

This group is full, but you can join the next 18+ group that is forming (group 45) which will start as soon as we have enough members, but you have 12 weeks to complete your reviews.

Thanks Lisa for your unique take on vampires.

[Lisa]

Thank you Scott :)

[Emma]

Thanks Jayne and M.

This group is moving very well considering all the problems at the beginning, well done folks.

[Jayne]

Here's my review for E's Western Wishes.

My UK review wasn't live yet as of the time of posting but I submitted it at the same time.

Thanks so much for letting me read this one. Great job.

[Emma]

Thanks Jayne, and yes we did get Fantasy Island over here. I can't wait for KU to be unrolled over here too. Its certainly increased downloads of my books. I used to get 1 borrow to around 5 or 6 sales, this month, they outnumber them 2 to 1.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

[Jayne]

I'm getting about half and half. And it's odd, one day I'll get mostly borrows, the next day I'll get no borrows but mostly sales.

[Emma]

it remains to be seen whether borrows will affect sales I suppose. At the moment, my sales are a little less than normal, but the borrows will, fingers crossed, more than make up for the shortfall.

[Jayne]

I definitely took a hit when it rolled out but things are picking up again. My UK sales went up though. I'm gonna PM you a question about that.

[M.]

My UK review of BBE. Thanks DM for the read, I've never heard of an vampire on day time TV, loved that part.

The same review of Behind Blue Eyes is on amazon.com and Goodreads.

Thanks M :)

[Emma]

Despite several attempts at contact, it appears Tara has gone AWOL after completing one review. I will wait till the group ends, but procedure is that I blacklist her. Those that have reviewed her may remove their reviews to make up for the reviews her fellow authors missed out on.

Still waiting for Tara are:

Lisa-Marie and M.scott Patterson. She was also meant to review Oliver, but as he was banned, that review requirement is void.

[Emma]

Thanks for thinking about it, but these things happen occasionally. Tara has been top notch in the other review rounds she's been in, I just hope everything is all right with her.

[Lisa]

Me too. Life can throw us curveballs at times.

[E.G.]

E, I'd love to help out but, I've already reviewed Scott and Lisa reviewed me. If anyone in the group hasn't finished a review and wants to swap (e.g., they'll review Scott or Lisa-Marie's novel and I'll do the one they haven't finished) I'm in.

[Lisa]

Sounds good to me :) Thank you!

[Emma]

Lets wait till the end of the group folks, just to make sure she isn't just late.

[Tara]

Not awol. Just busy. Will get my reviews in by the 17th. (Also, Lisa, can you send me your book, since I don't have it?)

[Lisa]

I do apologise Tara. That is two I missed in the hospital business.

[M.]

Lisa, E, Jayne and DM, thank you for sharing your work with me. All four books were extremely imaginative and fun reads.

My final review, which makes be kinda sad, (not the book, just that it's over) for Western Wishes.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R3L6YU...

Perhaps someone knows the answer, why doesn't amazon share reviews between its various sites?

It was a pleasure, I hope we review again together.

Scott

[Emma]

Thanks M, glad you liked it.

Sometimes Amazon does share reviews, sometimes it doesn't. Its a complete mystery. Personally, unless a book has a great many reviews, I tend to check both .uk and .com sites anyway.

And I hope to see you in another group soon too.

[Jayne]

Here is my review for Bright Star for E.G. This is my final review. Good luck to everyone!

Its great to see you all pulling together.

Woo hoo that's everybody done, another successful group thanks to the dedication of of its members.

Good job folks, and I hope to see you all in another group soon.

Emma

[Lisa]

Thank you Tara :) Apologies for my absence, but as my mother sadly died on Tuesday I have been preoccupied. I do appreciate that a great deal of work has gone into reading and reviewing and I will be back soon.

[Emma]

So sorry you're having to go through such a dreadful time Lisa, we'll be here when you're up to joining in again.
