Group 253. Out of this World - Mod E.M.

[Laura]

I buy all of my assigned books too.

[Deborah]

Thank you, D. I have purchased all the books I'm scheduled to read, as well.

[Laura]

I did a major booboo you guys. I have confessed to EM by message and I hope she doesn't go too ballistic. Here goes: I first signed up with Limbo, which is a fantasy. Then, as time went by, I changed my mind and asked if I could switch to Coyote Summer. I had forgotten that it was an Out of This WOrld round. SO Coyote Summer got on the list and time went by...And then, when it was time for us to start purchasing our books, I came back to get my reading assignments--and saw the title of the round. SO I screwed up because Coyote Summer is of this world. (It's set in the 1980s but that decade wasn't THAT bad.) So it isn't an appropriate book. I am sorry. I screwed up.

[Deborah]

I have already bought Coyote Summer, so I will happily review that. The 80's may be nostalgic for me.

Mistakes happen - mine are usually much worse! If you suggest one of you other books which is more appropriate for the group I can swap that in, meanwhile anyone who has already committed to Coyote Summer I am sure might appreciate the change of mood :)

[Laura]

Okay fir people who don't regard the 80's as out of this world Limbo is a fantasy about life after death. SO, unless yu have already bought Coyote Summer, please substitute Limbo! I will contact my readers right away.

[Mary]

Well E. M. My books are not "Out of this World" but they are Visionary Fiction which does have some Sci Fi elements. They are also 18+. I didn't think this round had started so I hope this clears a few things up.
I will be buying the books on the list but I'm not getting contacted by the folks here and may have picked up two books accidentally, thinking they were assigned. I need to know titles and any specials coming up.
My book is Voices in Crystal or if you've read it then book 2 Going Forth By Day.
Thanks.

[E.M.]

Just to reassure people as there seems to be a little confusion here, if you read the OP it tells you which books fit in this round:

This is an 'Out of this World' round
Fiction books classified as sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian, paranormal.

All kind of fantasy from urban to epic, to magical realism etc. belong in this round :)

I'm about 1/2 way through your book, Mary, and in my opinion, it easily qualifies as "out of this world." No worries here.

Darrell,

Thank you so much for your review. It warms my heart.

[Mary]

Did anyone pick my second book Going forth by Day or is everyone reading Voices in Crystal. Asking me to send "Your Book" for review might get you the wrong one. Thanks in advance. I'f you can't buy, let me know and I will buy it for you.

[Deborah]

Thank you.

[Darrell]

Thanks.
I'm blushing.

[E.M.]

Firstly apologies for not being too present over the last couple of weeks, I was on antibiotics and they made me feel very rotten.

Secondly - thank you so much to Ron and Laura for your reviews of my books. I'm really glad you both enjoyed them.

Thirdly - what a great start! Well done everyone for turning in the first one or two of your reviews and to D. for completing your commitment here completely!

Grady - I see you have posted all your reviews, but only the GR links. I can't sign you off until you post the Amazon links as well.

Mary - hope things are ok for you, don't forget to post your first round review as soon as possible.

The second round is due on 15 June so plenty of time.
