Please remember the commitment you are making to your fellow group members. If you pull out after the start date for any reason it is the other members who will be faced with the problem of finding a replacement, or missing out on reads/reviews, through no fault of their own. Please don’t ask the moderators to chase after replacements as we just don’t have the time.

It is the responsibility of the author to get their book to their readers in a format the reviewer can manage. Everyone must be able to provide and accept PDF. You may buy or borrow the books you are due to read if you wish, and I’m sure the author will appreciate the verified review, but IT IS NOT COMPULSORY. There are no set dates for the start of each round. You can each work at your own pace, within the limits of the round deadlines.

All reviews must be posted to GR. We also encourage members to post on Amazon. When you have posted your reviews, please post the links to each of your reviews, not the book page in this thread.
The mod of each round will record whether members have posted reviews on Amazon and for the good of all, members who persistently fail to post reviews or DNF reviews to Amazon, will find mods less than willing to add them to subsequent groups.

Postings to other sites are by agreement by both author and reviewer.

If I’ve missed something that results in you being asked to review someone who has already reviewed you, please let me know asap.

To exchange book files, my advice is to use PM to give email addresses to each other (save the chance of spammers getting your addies from this open forum). Happy reviewing, everyone :)

Please consider downloading one of my books and/or one of the round mod’s books as a thank you for all the hard work we put in for the group.

[E.M.]

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 am mod for this round so do contact me if you have any problems or issues, or post to this thread.

Happy reading everyone!

[Tamira]

Sorry, making sure here...I am number 10...so would I review 6,7,8,9? Since I've reviewed a different book of Franca's, then it looks like she would review mine, would that be a clash? Or am I reading this wrong? Thanks for clarifying!

[E.M.]

Tamira, if you look in Post 66 you will see it says that as a reviewer you will receive books from:

193-10__ Tamira Thayne
Franca Ogbonnaya for round 1
Meriel Brooke for round 2
J.P. Willson for round 3
Steve Cantwell for round 4

Hopefully that helps :)

[Tamira]

Yeah, sorry, I missed the second page, or I could have answered my own question. Ha! On it.

[Laura]

To all the people whose books I am going to review: I will buy your book so that Amazon will recognize me as a verified purchaser. You do not need to send me anything.

[J.P.]

I also have everyone's books (except you Steve, but I think you know that already) otherwise I'm all good.
Happy reading people...

[David]

Hi,
For those to be reviewed by me, please send your MOBI file to skipper.dsf@gmail.com.
For those down to review my book, pls send your email address and format desired to above email address.
Any problems, pls mail me.
Many thanx, David
P.S. As I'm a fast reader, you can send your book file any time.

[E.M.]

Congratulations for getting off the starting blocks so quickly, Franca!

David, I'd not recommend posting your email to public view.

[Meriel]

Quick work - thank you Franca for your review of Sugar Pants.

[Franca]

You’re welcome Meriel and EM😊

[Vasja]

I have received messages from the first 3 Authors whose books I need to review and I have sent them my email! Contacted the 4th author to give my email.
I have messaged the 4 Authors that need to review my book asking for their emails or notifying that they can also read the book with Kindle Unlimited.
Happy reading :)
