Group 282. General - Mod. Loralee

[Loralee, Admin]

I don't have any conflicts with Tamira.

Tamira, is your conflict with Laura that you have reviewed her, or has she reviewed you?

Edit: EM, it looks like Laura has reviewed Tamira. Is there still a way to fit Tamira in?

[Laura]

Tamira and I cannot review each other.

[Loralee, Admin]

And I don't think anyone can be moved around without creating review conflicts. :( Although I could be wrong.

[E.M.]

Welcome Tamira - I think we have a fit for you there. If you do the full check as said below we'll know for sure :)

Everyone - Now we need to do a final check.

So please post to tell me if you have reviewed any of the four people above you on the list (the list wraps around so (10) is 'above' (1) ). Please also check that if you have already reviewed any of the four people 'below' you on the list they have more books available that you have not yet reviewed and post to tell me if they have not.

You can check if you have reviewed anyone before by going to your reviews through your profile (the link is under your portrait), and searching their name. You can check if someone has reviewed you in the same way through their profile and searching for your name. Please check all those who are the 4 above and below you.

Those who are 4 after Ono/Nick will need to check that neither Ono nor Nick has reviewed them before.

Nick - don't forget to check both your own reviews and those of Ono too.

If you have no review clashes - or if you are scheduled to review someone who you have reviewed before but can see they have another book available just post 'Good to go :)' or words to that effect.

When everyone has posted 'Good to go' we will be :)

If you are new to these rounds do not worry, full instructions will be provided at every stage.

[J.M.]

Good to go here!

[J.E.]

Good to go.

[Tamira]

Good to go. Thanks.

[Mary]

good to go

[Nick]

good to go

[Laura]

All clear!

[Loralee, Admin]

Yay! I am good to go.

[E.M.]

I am good to go too - just waiting to hear from Cathy and Gill :)

[Laura]

EM I know I've done this a million times but I am kind of dumb and get things mixed up. and I think there might be a problem after all.

E.M. Swift-Hook I can review, can't review me
2. J.E. Rowney I can review, can't review me
3. Tamira Thayne She's my publisher
4. Mary E. Hughes I can review she can't review me
5. Loralee Evans She can review me
6. Cathy Perkins She can review me
7. J.M. Rutherford I can review her or she can review me
8. Laura Koerber
9. Gill Mather I can review
10. Ono Northey (Nick is reviewing on Ono's behalf) I can review

So I get so confused by this . Is there a conflict? Because Mary can't review me. In order to get us going with no more hassles I am willing to just get three reviews and just not get a review from Mary.

[E.M.]

Laura - thanks for that info! I think I have a fix...

Everyone - we need to recheck please, the four above and below you now (if they have changed) and again say if you are good to go :)

[J.M.]

still good

[J.E.]

Good for me thanks.

[Laura]

I can review the four below me and I can be reviewed by the four above me.

[Loralee, Admin]

I am also still good.

[Mary]

Re the four above me - 3 have reviewed earlier books of mine.
I'm fine with the four below me. I've reviewed Loralle but not Tamira, Cathy or J.M.

[Nick]

Still good to go

[Tamira]

I'm still good, thanks.

[E.M.]

And I'm fine so we wait on Cathy and Gill.

I have PMd them to nudge them to check-in so, hopefully, that won't be too long.

[Gill]

Gill MatherClass of ’97: An absorbing, page-turning read for all lovers of suspense and mystery

Yes I'd still like to take part in this review round. The only conflict appears to be that I've read/reviewed J E Rowney's The Woman In The Woods.

[Gill]

Gill MatherClass of ’97: An absorbing, page-turning read for all lovers of suspense and mystery

Sorry. I've also noticed that J P Willson is taking part. He has read/reviewed another different book of mine in Review Round 272.
Gill

[J.E.]

I have other books, so that’s fine, Cathy x

[J.E.]

I’ve also read JP Wilson. Is he in this group under a pseudonym?

[Cathy]

JM Rutherford - clear both ways
Gill Mather – clear both ways
Laura Koerber – previously reviewed Coyote Summer
Ono Northey – clear both ways

JE, Mary and Loralee have all reviewed a different book of mine
Tamira Thayne - clear both ways

J P Willson wanted to join and commented earlier in this thread, but if you take a look at message 9, J P was unable to fit.

Cathy, you reviewed Laura's book, Coyote Summer, right?

J.E. wrote: "I’ve also read JP Wilson. Is he in this group under a pseudonym?"

Not so far as I'm aware. He did want to join, and commented, but was unable to fit.

[Loralee, Admin]

If we've reviewed books by the people under us, that's fine, so long as they have other books for us to review.

If people above us have reviewed our books, that's also fine, so long as we have other books for them to review.

[Sass]

Hello ... I've messaged the moderators looking for instructions on where to post the reviews I've made and posted on Goodreads. I understand I'm to post "here" in this forum. But unclear exactly where ... no other reviews appear in this thread

[Loralee, Admin]

Sass, did you mean to post that on the thread for group 279? If you've reviewed some people in group 279, you do post links to your reviews there. Post links for the reviews you do on Goodreads, and your reviews on Amazon.

[Kat]

Sass, you can post your Goodreads and Amazon review links here in the 279 thread 😊:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

If you look at message 69 in the link I just posted, Gene has just posted his links, so you can see how he does it. Hope that helps!

[Loralee, Admin]

EM, unless I'm mistaken I think we're all good to go.

[Gill]

Gill MatherClass of ’97: An absorbing, page-turning read for all lovers of suspense and mystery

As before, I've reviewed J E Rowney's The Woman In The Woods and my book As The Clock Struck Ten has been reviewed by J P Willson.

[Loralee, Admin]

Unless he’s posting under a pen name, J P Willson is not a member of this group. He tried to join, but was unable to fit.

[Gill]

His name is in the list of authors, so I assumed he's in the group. Perhaps his name will get deleted in due course. Gill MatherGill Mather

[J.M.]

Am I looking at the wrong list? I don't see a J.P. Wilson here.

1. E.M. Swift-Hook
2. J.E. Rowney
3. Mary E. Hughes
4. Tamira Thayne
5. Loralee Evans
6. Cathy Perkins
7. J.M. Rutherford
8. Gill Mather
9. Laura Koerber
10. Ono Northey (Nick is reviewing on Ono's behalf)

[Gill]

Gill Mather

All I can say is that if you click on the list of authors at the top of the page, JP is one of them. Gill

[Kat]

Hey, everyone!

JP Willson is not in this round. As you can see from messages 7-9, he inquired about signing up and EM wasn't able to fit him in.

When you're checking for clashes during signup you should check everyone who's responded in the thread because at that point, we don't yet know who will be in the round and we need to know all possible clashes.

When we're doing final checks (like right now), please check the list EM posts in the first post of the thread. That's the order we're hoping will work and doesn't include anyone who wasn't able to be added to the round. JM Rutherford has kindly copied said list in post 87 for your reference.

Hope that helps!

[J.M.]

I am still good, if the list is scrambled around to accommodate anyone else, I will still be good. I have no conflicts. Thanks!

[Kat]

Gill, are you looking at the first post in this thread? This is the list you should be seeing:

1. E.M. Swift-Hook
2. J.E. Rowney
3. Mary E. Hughes
4. Tamira Thayne
5. Loralee Evans
6. Cathy Perkins
7. J.M. Rutherford
8. Gill Mather
9. Laura Koerber
10. Ono Northey (Nick is reviewing on Ono's behalf)

If you're looking where it says "Authors mentioned in this topic" then that's just anyone who's responded in the thread--something GR automatically generates. The list of who is participating in the round is found in the first post of the thread. That's the list to check. Hope this helps!

[Loralee, Admin]

Kat is correct, and JM and Kat have posted the list of all 10 of the authors participating in this round.
In post #1, they are also listed with links. JP tried to enter this round, but was unable to fit, and so is not one of the ten authors listed in post #1.
Take a look at the list Kat and JM posted above, as well as the list with links in Post #1.

[Laura]

I'm started. I realize that we are not at the official start of this round and that the list may change. If it does then I will just make my adjustments and I don't mind if I have purchased a book that I didn't need to read.

[J.E.]

Who are we still waiting for? I’ve started reading too. I won’t post any reviews until we officially begin.

[E.M.]

Sorry for the delay folks! It was in a very good cause, however - Loralee Evans has just rejoined our modding team and will be modding this round :)

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.]

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.

As I said in the message above, the wonderful Loralee Evans will be modding this round and will be by shortly to say hello. Please PM her ongoing with any issues. Thanks.

[Loralee, Admin]

Hello, everybody! As EM explained, I will be modding the round. If you have any questions, I am more than willing to help you find answers to them.

Great job JE on already getting started!


EVERYBODY READ:

Please take a look at message #96 above to see who is reviewing you, and whom you are reviewing.

Also pleas take a look at message #1 for links to their author profiles.

EVERYONE READING ONO’S BOOK: (Laura Koerber, Gill Mather, J.M. Rutherford, Cathy Perkins) You may need to contact Nick in order to get Ono’s book. A link is there to Nick’s profile in message #1.

If you are one of the four under Ono, you will be reviewed by Nick.

[E.M.]

I have purchased or KU'd all the books I am reading.

If you are due to review me please hold your horses for a day as I am setting it to be free on the Zon for you :)
