Book Review Pool #5 - CLOSED
I would like to read and review the Cleansing by Danielle Tara Evans. Dystopian is my favorite genre so I'm excited. My email is Rachel.author.Barnard@gmal.com, but after receiving confirmation that I can review this book I will just purchase the kindle version for $0.99
I'd like to read "Zet and the Egyptian Princess Mystery (Secret Agent Zet)." I have Kindle Unlimited, so I can get a copy that way. Thank you.

You can both review it! I will just review another book to make up for it. :)

I have sent this. I have no clue how to create a mobi file, though, so I send PDF.
Scott wrote: "That was so fast, thanks for your wonderful review, Ronesa!"Well, it really was a wonderful story. I've added it to my Pinterest of Indie Authors to read, too. :)
I'd like to read Catch a cold if its available.
Danielle, I would like to read The Cleansing and the second one too. I prefer Mobi but PDF is Ok. I would also like to read Mystical Emma: Soul's journey by Ronesa Aveela. Also preferring Mobi but PDF is OK.

Like to read catch a coldEmail address is info@rectortales.com. I'm able to read any media format.
Hi,I'll review Forever, if it still available. Mobi preferred, Pdf ok.
Thanks!

I'll send you a copy.
Danielle, Since someone else has already "taken" my book, I'll also read/review another book to make up for this extra one.
Hi,I've sent Catch a cold to Clarence.
Hi, everyone! Sorry I've been absent and missed all this activity! I took Benadryl, and it's made me very sleepy... LOLOkay, so I'm glad that people are signing up to read and review books! I think I might be implementing a new rule (or exception). As long as all the books are taken and there are no more to choose from, they can be picked again. This way, we'll end up getting more reviews for our books, and then there will be more selections to choose from in the subsequent review pools. What do you guys think?
There really weren't a lot to choose from this time around, so if we allow people to pick books that were already chosen, we can increase participation. I do want this to be fair though so we might need to vote on it. But we only had four books in this pool so I'm going to make an exception at least this time around. :)

Pam reads and reviews for the love of reading; she doesn't have books she wants included in the review pool so consider this a freebie. Thanks, Ronesa! :)

Thanks, Tatyana! Kshitij also requested to read and review your book so I'll send you his email address as well.

So, here is what I'm thinking: if you review a book you've chosen out of the pool, your book then gets placed in the pool. You are guaranteed at least one review, but if more people want to review your book while it's in the CURRENT pool, then they can (once all other books have been chosen). Once that pool is no longer current, your book is no longer eligible for anymore reviews unless you review another one, and then it will get placed in the new pool. So, it's a greater incentive to review - you may potentially get multiple reviews just by having your book in the pool. And then there will end up being more books to choose from because each person that reviews your book will get their books placed in the pool as well. Do you guys think this sounds fair? I know some books will get picked more than others, but everyone will still be guaranteed at least one review. So then it all comes down to whether or not your book is something that interests readers... If we end up with a lot of books in the pool that aren't getting picked while certain ones keep getting reviewed, I can close the current pool and start a new one with books that still need reviews.
And to make this even more fair, I can add books now from prior pools so that everyone will get the chance for more reviews. And then there will be more choices for people to pick from so we can have more participation! Since all of the books are already picked, then technically we have to wait for more books to be added before anyone else can sign up. This way, we won't have to. Not to mention, just because someone picks your book doesn't mean they will review it. So then you won't have to wait around forever for a review that may never come. You'll have a greater chance of getting reviews quicker if more than one person chooses it...
I also don't want you guys to think that I'm changing the rules just because my book is now in this pool, and more than one person has picked it. I've had this same thing come up in prior pools, and I've made exceptions before. Not to mention, other books in this pool were picked more than once. :-)
I'd love to hear what you guys think. Thanks!

Cool. Well, I'll keep checking here anyway and see what else gets submitted. I've read/reviewed 50+ books since mid-August. I've had a better rate of return on return crits on GR, so I'll continue to troll around here, time permitting. :)
Danielle wrote: "So, here is what I'm thinking: if you review a book you've chosen out of the pool, your book then gets placed in the pool. You are guaranteed at least one review, but if more people want to review ..."Sounds good to me. :) That way I can review more than one that someone else has already reviewed.
Thanks, Scott and Ronesa! I'm glad you guys like the idea. I think I'll sleep on this one though and allow time for responses from other people (in case there are any good reasons for objecting to it). I think it might work out better in the long run. :)
I would like to review "Zet and the Egyptian Princess Mystery" - love that kind of books! And since it's now allowed to have more than one reviewer. Prefer PDF, but take all kinds of formats.Also, Danielle, good decision! More books!

I think you made a good decision as far as multiple reviewers because it was a short list. Thank you for your time!I bought The Cleansing last night and finished it today! Loved it. Can't wait to read the next one! I will be posting a review tonight.
Thank you,
Christy Heron

My 9 year old left a review for you. Hope you don't mind. She's a coauthor with me on a couple of children's books so she was super excited to write a review.

Book Name: Zet and the Egyptian Princess Mystery (Secret Agent Zet)
Author: Scott Peters
Genre: Middle Grade Mystery/Historical Fiction
Formats Available: Kindle gift
Author's Note: This book is targeted at young readers, but still hopefully has enough for an adult to enjoy. It's a fast read, being only 150 pages.
SELECTED FOR REVIEW BY RONESA AND TATYANA
Book Name: Forever (The Forever Series, Book One)
Author: Eve Newton

Book Name: The Cleansing OR The Revolt: The Sequel to The Cleansing
Author: Danielle Tara Evans
Genre: Dystopian
Formats Available: Mobi, ePub, PDF, and any other format available on Smashwords
Author's Note: There is adult content (nothing too explicit), strong language, and violence in both books. If you have already read The Cleansing, then you can read The Revolt. If not, I suggest reading The Cleansing first, although I think The Revolt could be read as a standalone. You would only need to read and review one of them to have your book included in the review pool though!
