Hi ,I would like to join the group
I would like to read Children of the Furnace Children of the Furnace.
would be happy to learn how to get reviews for my book too.

My review of Exhumation: An Epic of Existentia has been posted to GR https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and is currently "under review" on Amazon.
Sorry Anjali, this group is full. If any of the books interest you, feel free to review them, but we can't give you any reciprocal reviews.If you want to join a review group, wait for any newly opening groups in the future, I know it's hard to check on something without any alerts at all, but anyone who really wants to get in a new group, does.

Hi Folks!You are all so fast. I have to apologise but I will be sticking closer to the deadlines. I will try and turn them around a little quicker, but as I read Contracts and legal nonsense all day, my brain and eyes object to lots of heavy reading!
I also need to note that when I send a MOBI file to reviwers, the X-Ray function of the book does not work. I am willing to send a voucher so that you can make use of the function.
Two days left to post first round reviews. So far, three still have to do so. I'll check in again Sunday.
Hi all,It's the first round deadline and I'm a little surprised there are still three who are missing their first round reviews. From my experience, usually only one or two would miss the first round. I'll wait until Wednesday, and then I'll personally email each of those three late reviewers. Thanks!

Hi all, Sorry folks, I'm juggling time zones at the moment.
Here's my review of The Strange Life of Brandon Chambers by Scott Spotson.
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-re...
Amazon uk: i'll sort this one out.
Okay, that's all the Round One reviews in. Next deadline is March 25! Thank you.
Here is my second review (not in order). Sorry Stuart. I didn't post it on Amazon U.K. as I do have Amazon U.S. to post it on as is required by the rules (I do have an account). The U.K. site, I believe, is your home site, and there were few reviews, so my review's ranking would have had an outsized impact.https://www.amazon.com/review/R14YA8P...

No worries, Scott. It's an unusual book that finds favour with all readers. Sorry this one didn't do it for you, but thanks for the feedback anyway.
Thanks. Sorry this book didn't find favour with me. Like you said, it may be a matter of taste.
Scott wrote: "Thanks. Sorry this book didn't find favour with me. Like you said, it may be a matter of taste."It's one of the realities of being involved with writing/reading/reviewing that there will be books we won't like or sometimes even understand. It all, as they say, comes with the territory. And a negative review rarely does harm to a book, especially if it already has some positive ones. Maybe, seeing this one, other reviewers will feel more able to be completely honest here on this thread, too. So there's a positive outcome here for all of us.

Hi again Anjali,I'll message you privately as well to make sure you get this message, but Group 181 (General) and Group 182 (Out of this World) are now opening up. Everyone else, except for Brin, remember you're still in this group and can't join unless you finish posting all your reviews, but please don't rush... we don't want our reviews to be perfunctory.

Wow, thanks D.! The next deadline is Sunday. Only two people remain to post a second round review by then. Two reviewers are finished all four rounds. Again, no rush, take your time to enjoy the books.
Hi folks. I really have to apologise for my absence. I have been swamped in the mundane world of "Work", a horrendous realm filled with hideous and demanding monsters called "Stakeholders".I have private messages in my inbox which I will reply to now, and get reviewers access to my book.
I won't be bothered that my review is posted this round, I hope the mods are ok with that too, as this is my fault.
Thanks, folks, keep up the good work.
I'll have my review of War over Dust posted on the deadline.
S.A., thanks for the update. After discussing privately with you, we agreed that all reviews will still go ahead. Actually the person reviewing you this round has been very productive and already has submitted two reviews before the second round deadline. Reviews may be out of order, as long as deadlines are met.
Reminder for the two reviewers to post second round reviews by Sunday, three days from now. The rest have complied nicely, but you may post more reviews anytime.

Still being approved, will update link once finished.
I was meant to have completed a review of War Over Dust, but my Kindle Region decided to not let me play anymore.

A reminder that, astonishingly, the next deadline is in a week from now. Third round reviews.

Tomorrow is third round deadline, and two reviewers still have to post by then.
Here are my reviews for Exhumation.Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-re...
I’ve been trying to get my review on Amazon.co.uk but it hasn’t accepted it. Will continue to try and get that uploaded, and will add the review here when it works.
The "foreign" Amazon posting problem is happening to everyone, everywhere apparently as I'm following other review groups and people are saying the same thing. Not to worry if you've done your best. There's also Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Smashwords, iBooks, for the more adventurous of us, but absolutely not a requirement, just a suggestion to replace the foreign Amazon posting.
Here is my final review: for SA Chapman's Sojourner. I encountered the same issue with Amazon UK though. I will add the Amazon link when it posts. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Update- I posted on regular Amazon but it is not showing up. Amazon UK has not even let me attempt to post.
Ok- regular Amazon finally posted. Still nothing on UK
https://www.amazon.com/review/R1CKOFM...
The deadline for the third round was two days ago. One reviewer didn't make it, but I've emailed him to check up. All right! Final round May 13. Keep up the good work, everyone!
Four of us have completely finished all rounds.
Hi folks,My apologies. I've been off the grid with a work assignment. Back online, and in the game.
Here is my review for War Over Dust by Stuart Aken
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Amazon: I've posted it, but it's not showing up. I will update the link as soon as it becomes available.
Thanks, Round Three is a wrap-up. Final deadline is May 6. Get, set, go!
Here is my fourth and final review:Unger's cannibalistic sexbots:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I placed on Amazon as well, but its been almost four hours and it still hasn't posted. I will comment again when it has.
24 hours now, and it still hasn't posted. I reviewed a random product I purchased to see if it would accept my review, it did just one minute later...
I will post when it accepts my review, but until then, if there is another site you'd like me to post it on, Unger, just message me and i'd be happy to, since you're waiting so patiently for Amazon.
