E.M. Swift-Hook | 3487 comments Please read this especially if you are new to these review rounds.

Quick 'start-up' summary for anyone new who might be scratching their heads. You should PM the four people who will be reviewing you through their Goodreads author pages. Click on the down arrow beside the 'Follow Author' button under their picture and it opens a menu which will allow you to message them.

Ask what kind of file they would like or say you can only offer PDF, though unless a publisher uploaded it for you, you can always download a .mobi of your own book from Amazon.

Don't forget to ask where to send it so they can give you their email.

The four people who you are reviewing should be in touch with you in a similar way.

You can, of course, choose to buy any or all of the books instead, or read the books on KU, if you are a subscriber and the books are available there.

Please make sure you have exchanged ALL FOUR books - or have been assured by your reviewers they will buy your book or read it through KU - as soon as possible. Some people read fast and it can be very frustrating to have to wait a long time to get hold of a book you are committed to review.

Finally, recent changes on Amazon mean that we are now asking you to post your review to your own Amazon store and any others you might have access to as well. Please still attempt to post on .com and .uk, but if you can only post on your local Zon you will not be penalised.

I shall be modding this round so PM me with any issues arising please.

Dylan Fairchild | 22 comments E.M.

Are we allowed to request reviews of the audiobook format in these rounds? I'm not sure I've ever seen it done before.

Thanks


message 54: by E.M. (new)

E.M. Swift-Hook | 3487 comments As many people won't have audiobooks as a possibility, I think you might find you get little joy anyway, Dylan. I think it is best to keep with the usual formats.

Dylan Fairchild | 22 comments Thanks E.M.! Will do.

Anita Nasr (aenasr) | 60 comments Thanks E.M! And off we go.

Hi E.M.

You seem to have overlooked my Message 34 -- I have already reviewed Bruce's book.
David


message 58: by E.M. (new)

E.M. Swift-Hook | 3487 comments No, I did not overlook your post, David, but I do apologise for assuming you were familiar with the way things work here.

If you have read the book the author is offering, you simply read another of their works that you have not yet reviewed. Bruce has two other books which you have not reviewed, so it is not a problem. :)

David Fisher | 116 comments Bruce has been in touch.

What a fantastic book, and what an ending! I didn't see it coming and I blubbed for the last few chapters. Thanks Emily, I truly loved it.

How are things going with your new baby? I bet you are cursing this unBritish hot weather - just what you need with a newborn.
There's nothing wrong with drizzle ;-)
