Thank you, Alex, for an honest review of my book. I wish I had an editor who would alert me to the parts of the book that I could correct. :)
Great work, everyone, and thanks Lucretia, you're the first one to be done all four! The first round doesn't end until Sept. 17, so we have lots of time. I'll send out a reminder Sept. 14.

Thanks for your review E.M. I'm a little shocked at a such a low review from a fellow author but you didn't like my book and I can respect that. Would have appreciated some feedback from you but I guess you left the review you felt you needed to. At any rate I always want honest reviews so even as brutal as that was, I'll dust myself off and move on. :)

Thank you so much, E.M., I'm thrilled you enjoyed the story. I hope to see you in other rounds.
Wow, E.M., four reviews in one post! Thanks for completing them, and see you in another round. Yes, as for the review of Fallen From Grace, this is not intended to be a beta reading group; rather, all reviews are final and that's the rationale for these groups.
Beta reading groups can be found there -- and yes, in those other groups, feedback can be private and along the guidelines as set by you as author, with specific chapters, themes, or questions posed privately as you wish.
https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
Thanks E.M. for the thorough review. Much appreciated!
Yes, Nikki, those beta reading groups are fantastic. Again, I emphasize that there is a LOT of flexibility in those groups, almost like a chummy atmosphere where people trade critique partners, ask for feedback on a query letter, etc.
That's fine Scott, however I used a lot of beta readers for that book and it was part of a Kindle Scout campaign so it got a lot of eyes. I don't need any more beta readers for it. I wrote Fallen to the best of my ability and I love the story. It's my work and I'm proud of it, even if others disagree, as their right. But I do appreciate your feedback and I may use those beta groups in the future. I just believe in being kind to others and supporting my fellow authors as much as possible. Not everyone will like my work and that's ok. I write the books I want to read and not everyone likes the same thing. Variety is the spice of life. Thanks for sharing about the groups. :)

Hey everyone, here's my 1st round review for Alex Aviro. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The review should also be uploaded to Amazon.com shortly.
Thank you.
Hi Will,Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed it. I can see the review on amazon.com, but not on amazon.co.uk. It may be in the system, but if you haven't already posted to the uk site, could you please, as they don"t automatically carry across. Many thanks,
Alex
No problem Alex, it should be up there now. :)
