Thanks. I was unaware of that show/book. I would check it out, but the reviews are not that good. :/
It has over 3,700 ratings though Chris and they made a TV series from it. I think the more ratings you get on Goodreads, the more likely the overall rating goes down.

Come on everyone. Sherry has set the bar you all have one day to finish your book. lol I haven't got the first book loaded on my Kindle yet. I'm a slacker. :/

I normally thank my reviewers for their opinions, Sherry, but it's difficult when they admit they have not read it through to the "emotional" and "dramatic" end. But it does make it easier to dismiss a review as a rushed job - so thanks for that.

My assumption when I joined these groups was that emailing an author reviewing your ..."There was nothing personal in my comments, Sherry. But your use of words like "touchy" and "pompous" could be said to be personal. I'd be grateful if you could remove them. Thanks.
G.J. when entering a book in these rounds it is on the understanding that the reviewer is going to leave an honest review. This means it may not be a review that you will appreciate. The rules specifically state:
12. You will not ask a fellow author to change a review of your book because you don’t agree with it. If you think you have a legitimate concern, talk to the mod of your round, NOT the other author. Personal attacks, or pressurising other members WILL NOT BE TOLERATED and will result in you being blacklisted.
Please do not harass a reviewer about changing the review they have given.

Thank you for your wonderful review Emily. It's turned out that you've read both my very different books now on two review teams. Sadly, yours didn't come up for me to review on the review thread, but it looks fantastic, so I'm going to download it today, and will read and review :-) x
Thanks, Chris, Crystal, Emily and Will for your reviews to date.Thanks, Brin for completing your commitment to the group.
Sherry, I would strongly advise you not to reciprocally review any author's work. We have a strict policy against it here. Aside from it being something that could be seen to prejudice your review, the Zon can see reciprocal reviews as evidence of collusion and delete them, or worse.

Thanks E.M for sharing. Emily's book is one I've had my eye on for a while and I wasn't aware of that policy :-)
It is a book I can wholeheartedly recommend for a read :)

Aw thank you both for your kind words. Totally understand the review policy and wouldn’t want anyone to get into trouble, but thanks for your lovely words about my book :-)Emily

Caitlyn, your formatting on your MOBI was a little off, spacing between the paragraphs and the everything was left justified. It didn't effect the read.
