Lovely read, Trish! I'll post the Amazon link as soon as it updates."

Thanks for the links (as mod) and the review (as author)! So glad you enjoyed it. That Mateo, eh? ;D

When you get the Amazon link to me you are done, but you can sign up for a new round now if you want.

Speedy reader!

Thanks

Pardon me. I'm new to this and was wondering how long before a new 18+ group gets made. Thanks!

Hi Casey,

You can submit an 18+ book to the General round, also the In this World/Out of this world rounds depending on which it is. Just not the children's or clean rounds.

The reason we do a separate 18+ round sometimes is because some people might say on a review 'I'm not a fan of horror' or 'I don't usually read sex scenes' so we have these rounds so people know what they are getting into.

By all means join one of those rounds, you could add in your post that your book is - violent/sexy whatever makes it 18+ to give people a heads up.

Hope that helps.

Trish

I read that in the rules, but if I know my novel has substantial violence and horror, would it not be better to wait for the 18+ group so no one not interested in that sort of thing would be involved?

It's really up to you. You join a group you take your chance on what you read, that's how it is. I'll ask E.M. when she plans another 18+ but with this one started, it might be a while before it gets full. If you are a fast reader you could join another group and see how it goes. Once you have finished YOUR obligation in the round you don't have to hang about and can join another one.

E.M. says it probably won't be for a while. I suggest you try another round. You might be surprised!

Ok, thanks so much, Trish

FYI can you delete the section of any Amazon urls from ref onwards please? Not needed for here and connects any user that clicks that link with you. :D

If you look at yours compared to Norma's you will see what I mean.

Hi all,

A couple of quick things coming to my mind (it's crowded in there!)

If you are going to post your link to your Goodreads review on here with the Amazon link pending, please post separately when you get the Zon link. It's a pain in the butt for me to have to scroll back to see if you've edited your original post, and I don't get a notification from GR about an edit.

Also, please note that it is not a requirement that you read your books in the order that E.M. set out. If you can, that's great cos then we all get a review in each round, but if that's not what your schedule allows, or you haven't received that round's book from the author in time, then by all means move on to another.

Thanks for listening and a gentle reminder that round one reviews are due in 10 days!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi all,

Thanks to Matt and Elizabeth for their reviews. Extra kudos to Matt for all the places he's posted - that's optional, but as we're all authors we appreciate reviews in as many places as possible.

Reminder that ROUND ONE reviews are due by Monday (10/14) mine included! If anyone is having problems making that deadline let me know.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you so much for letting us know.

Life happens, but it's good to keep people in the loop so they aren't wondering if they will ever see a review.

I'm glad to hear things are straightening out for you.
