Group 201 - 18+ - Mod L.N.

[E.M.]

Welcome Eunice!

Sorry we seem to be taking so long to start, folks, hopefully will soon be ready for the off as we only need one more now to fill the train!

[Lucretia]

E.M. If you can separate me from JB I can sign up. We can't review each other. My book is a standalone part two, with horror elements. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

[E.M.]

Welcome Lucretia - I can't promise this will work, but we'll give it a swing!

So, as before, I need everyone to double check they have no negative clashes - that they have not reviewed the four people 'above' them on the list (it wraps around so 10 is 'above' 1) or been reviewed by the four below.

When enough people have posted that they don't have such clashes, I can start the round :)

[Eunice]

No clashes, all authors are new to me.

[Lucretia]

Looks great, thanks for fitting me in.

[J.B.]

I believe I've pointed this out, but Cecily is below me and I've reviewed her before. If it can't be rearranged, I can drop out of the round

As I have to put Lucretia in your 'blind spot', J.B., you will simply need to review Cecily again. Unless you have reviewed all 7 ( I think she has?) of her books, that won't be a problem.

[J.B.]

Okay, I think there was some confusion on my part. I thought the 4 below me were reviewing me and I was reviewing the 4 above? If I'm reviewing the four below me, then I'm good

[Thomas]

I'm good.

[Steve]

No conflicts for me.

[Rebecca]

I'm good.

[E.M.]

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 (the four above you on the original list of names) 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. If you can buy it adds weight to your review as it gives the 'Verified Purchase' stamp on Amazon.

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.

Your mod for this round will be L.N. Denison, and I now hand over to her, so please contact her if you have any issues or questions.

[L.N.]

Hi guys, welcome to the 18+ round. E.M has covered all the do's and don't's....so let us commence. Go forth and read...enjoy!

[L.N.]

I'd also like to thank E.M for setting up the round.

[Eunice]

Hi Lucretia, Steve, Aventuras and Thomas. I’ve either bought or picked up your books through KU. I look forwards to reading them.

J.B. Trepagnier, I have your book from KU. Adrienne, J.C. and Cecily, I'll want a .mobi of your books. PM me and I'll send you the kindle addy.

[Lucretia]

I have books from Steve, Aventuras, and Thomas. Message sent to Adrienne. I am excited to be reading your books.

Anyone not using KU, who needs a copy of my book please respond to my message/message me with your email and file type needed.

Thank you again for fitting me in. Happy reading.

What if there is no "send message" available in the drop down list? I have one author I cannot message.
Thanks, Rebecca

[J.B.]

I've either purchased my books or downloaded them off KU

[Eunice]

Hi J.C

There's no option to message you under the follow author drop down menu. You've been assigned to read my novelette, Love by Chance. It'll be free to download tomorrow and Tuesday from amazon. If for any reason you're unable to download it, please message me and I'll send a copy of it in your preferred format.

Many thanks,
Eunice
