Group 206 - Novella - Mod L.N.

[S.D.]

The line-up lists works for me now!

[Rhian]

I'm good.

[C.A.]

I'm good!

[Kady]

All fine for me.

[Jeanette]

No clashes for me now

[E.M.]

That is 5 folks who have checked in. Thanks to you all. I need to hear from at least 2-3 more before I can start the round and ideally from everyone.

[Cathleen]

I'm good, although I'll need an alternate book from Jeanette. :)

[Jeanette]

Not a problem, Cathleen. Blood Crystal is the sequel to Heart of the Mountain https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I don't think you've read that one yet, but another novella Stone of the Sea (though a bit longer) if you have.

[Marc]

All good thanks

[S.D.]

All good.

[Cathleen]

Blood Crystal will work fine, Jeanette. Please PM me with your email or just email it to me if you've still got my address somewhere. :)

[Loralee, Admin]

I am good to go.

[Laura]

The four people above me do not need to send me their books. I will buy them myself.

[Cathleen]

Actually, Laura, you review the four people below you, in your case #1-4.

[Laura]

Oops! And I already read the book about escaping NK! But its a great book, so I am glad I read it.

[Laura]

Now 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.

The directions say above, not below.

[C.A.]

Thanks, Laura. I was confused by the directions also, based on what I've seen other groups do. I've just been sitting here waiting for someone to tell me specifically which books to review!

I have no clashes either way.

[Laura]

Well I hope reading above is right! I have no clashes either way and it was not a waste to read the one book I read--in fact I recommend it!

[Cathleen]

I can only review Rhian and Jeanette, so I'm pretty sure we're going in the same order as usual--reviewing the four people below you. It makes sense that you cannot have reviewed the four above you--that would make it a reciprocal review. In any case, I think it's best to wait for the round to actually start before picking up books.

[Loralee, Admin]

Are we nearly ready to start? :)

[C.A.]

Thanks for the clarification, Cathleen.

I know I'm ready!

[Marc]

No clashes. Thanks!

[E.M.]

Laura - you will be reviewing the four people 'below' you in the group. The reason I ask people to check they have not reviewed the four people above them is because if you have reviewed anyone before they can not review you. Reciprocal reviews can cause both ethical and Zon issues (they can be deleted). This Review Group is committed to non-reciprocal reviews and hence why I ask for this final check before posting the start of the round.

[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.
Don't forget to post the links to your reviews here so you can be signed off for them.

Your Mod for the round is L.N. Denison she will be along shortly to take over, please refer any issues you might have to her.

Happy reading!

[C.A.]

I will buy or use KU for all four of mine

[L.N.]

Afternoon everyone, hope you are all ready for this round. I only have one rule, enjoy the round. Go forth and get those books.....and if you have any problems don't hesitate to contact me.

[S.D.]

I will buy all four of mine as well

[Laura]

Don't worry about sending me books. I will get them myself, Thanks

S.D. Brown for round 1
Cathleen Townsend for round 2
C.A. Martin for round 3
Rhian Waller for round 4
