Where'd medium scores go? XD

[Lara]

For this book can my review be links to the three novellas and my reviews of them individually, or does it need to be one review which covers the whole book?

[Maddie]

You can review the three novellas separately, or all together. But if you choose each individually, each book must have it's own review.

[Lara]

@Maddison Can I still use the page count and buddy read for the compilation if I attach the seperate reviews?

[Maddie]

If you choose to do them all separately, and there's a BR for the book, you'll need to do 4 updates for each novella on the BR thread, and you'll need to add the covers for the separate novellas. So basically counting each novella as a totally separate book.

But if you don't want to go that way, then just one review and one page count for the whole book will be fine. Normally it doesn't make a difference, but sometimes people choose to count them all individually because it makes for a better page count.

I'm afraid I wasn't able to finish the medium scores yesterday because I caught someone submitting plagarised reviews, and that took me so long to sort out that I ran out of time ☹

[Maddie]

Ah yeah I saw that, that's totally fine XD It just looks odd. Glad you caught it though! Does that mean that you look for plagiarism in everyone's reviews??

Hi Lara, you can either write individual reviews for each novella, and then post each seperately under each novella on the review thread. Or, you can write reviews for each novella but post them all under the combined volume, so like; book 1.5, i thought..., book 2.5, i found... etc. Then you'd need to post the combined novel on the review thread with the one review.

It's probably best to see if the three individual ones would count, and how many points that would get you, and then compare that to how many points the combined one would get you.

Does that make any sense?

We don't always check as it would take us too long. When someone's review is written in a very different style to how they normally write though, we do check.

You know... I once had someone point out when I copy and pasted my review to Goodreads that I'd doubled it up. I thanked them and fixed it because it certainly wasn't the first time I'd accidentally done it somewhere when copying to all the sites but now it makes me wonder if they thought I was stealing the review. LOL

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Who knows!

can I please sign out of the July game please?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, no problem ☺

[Amanda Setasha]

Hi Sarah,

So I saw someone mention a combined novella above so I just wanted to make sure for when I post my own review.
I'm currently reading which is I think 8-10 mini novellas.
When I post my review for the collection should I be listing at least a sentence or two for each novella?
I'd rather ask now instead of having to fix it later. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Amanda, its up to you, if you're posting it as one book then you can choose to either write reviews for each novella as a review for the whole, or you can choose to write an overall review for the whole book ☺

Okay thank you :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Hey Sarah. Team Three Amigo's hasn't heard from Lea since the 30th and she hasn't posted a review yet. Could you message her please? :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Bookbuyer, the current plan is to message people who haven't posted reviews on the 9th or 10th, give them 48 hours, and then try to get people replaced by the 14th when I go on holiday.
I'm not at home at the moment, but I'll try to do scores later when I'm home, and then start messaging people tomorrow ☺

Those people in serious teams who have not yet posted reviews, have all been messaged today ☺

[Isha]

Hey Sarah! I was wondering if it still counted to add a buddy read for a book after I already started it. For example, asking it for it to be set to today but having already started the book two days ago

[Heather]

I will join if people need to be replaced!
