Kat (katwiththehat) | 2277 comments Hey all, friendly announcement from your mod! Just a quick reminder that while it's super awesome to see that people plan to get their books through KU or purchase off the Zon (which no one has to do, though it's always lovely), until the round officially starts, any early reading is at your own risk because the order may still need to get flipped around or someone may withdraw.

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).

Setting up and modding these rounds is a labour of love, with a lot of emphasis on the ‘labour’. If you want to show appreciation for all the hard work we admins put in for the group, you could download one of our books as a ‘thank you’.

Happy reviewing, everyone :)

E.M. Swift-Hook | 3487 comments 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 are reviewing the four books 'below' you on the list.

You can, of course, choose to buy any or all of the books 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.

However, as not everyone can buy, 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.

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.

Please post your review to Goodreads, your own Amazon store and any other Amazon stores you might have access to as well.

Kat Kinney will be modding this round so PM her with any issues ongoing please.

Kat (katwiththehat) | 2277 comments Wow, round 254, off to a great start! Thanks for all the links. Also, thanks for remembering to shorten your links for Zon reviews so that everything after and including "ref" is deleted. That removes your personal information and provides a "clean" link. See Phillip's link in post 72 as an example.

Pamela Canepa | 75 comments I just wanted to let you all know that I have issues getting to my messages in Goodreads right now, maybe since my computer is fairly new.

I sent messages, I think, to all of the authors whose books I'm reading that I have or will be downloading your books. If any of you need me to send the mobi or epub of my book, Malachi, Ruse Master, you can message me here. It is in K.U.

Also, thank you for the review, Thomas.

Dave, Thank you for a great review! To answer your question: St. Clair is, indeed, a town in PA less than half an hour from where I live. St. Claire is the conscious spelling choice. And no, it's not based on the real SC town per se, but rather a representation of small former mining towns that are common in the area. Thanks again))

Has anyone else had difficulty getting copies of the books they're supposed to read for this round?

Appreciate all the links!

Hi Alexis, you need to let me know your e-mail address and preferred format. Be best if you provided those details privately by replying to the message I've sent you rather than on here.
No worries if you've started your next round book.
