Group 292. General - Mod G.J.

[Cam]

I'm not sure if you found a 10th person (did Andrew join this group or the 18+?). I have reviewed nobody in this group and the only person who has reviewed me is Balroop. I notice she's in the 2 slot and you need someone in the 7th. I am currently finishing my last book review in Group 288 right now...be done this week. I could join with my novel, The Concrete Vineyard.

[Jeff]

I think I'm speaking for everyone. Cam, please join. Please! : )

[David]

I second the invitation for Cam, Jeff!!

[Cam]

If the mods will have me, I would be interested in joining. I do realize reviews are supposed to be finished before joining a new group but I won't have a problem "catching up" and I've never been tardy with my reviews before.

Hello, Cam. Depending which group Andrew chooses to be in, (this one or the 18+ one) you may be allowed in this one, provided you are completely finished in your other group. You can sign up for other groups once you are completed in other groups where you have reviews to finish.

[E.M.]

Cam - I'd love to put you in the round if Andrew is not going to respond. If you finish your commitment to your previous round before I hear back from Andrew, I will happily include you here and Andrew can go to the 18+ - but, as Loralee so rightly says, I regret it is entirely against the rules of this group for anyone to be in two rounds at the same time.

[G.J.]

Hi EM,
I could swop from the 295 Clean group to this one. I have read Balroop and Gene before.

Hi EM, I'd be happy to join up. Thanks, Zara

[Loralee, Admin]

Hi, Zara!

Are you new here? This group may be full by now. I think it's a matter of working out who will fit. But you're welcome to join other groups that still have spots that need filling. The "Out of This World" group still has two spots to fill, if your book fits that category. The "Clean" review round also has several spots available, if your book fits that one. Remember though, you can only join one group at a time. There's also another "General" round, and an "18+" round.

You will need to claim your author page, and when you join a group you will need to give a link to the book you would like reviewed.

[Zara]

Thanks, really helpful! Will try those.

[Marcel]

Hi, I would like to join this review round (last spot). I am new to this, apologize if I make a mistake and also not sure what the next step is. I have set private messages allowed and fulfill the other requirements too. This is my profile Marcel Eschauzier. Here's the book: Existential Rationalism: Handling Hume's Fork. Thank you.

[Loralee, Admin]

Hello, Marcel!

Wow, lots of people want to fill that last spot! Marcel, I’m not the mod who can fill in that last spot; EM is. But I believe, since there are actually a few people who want the spot, Andrew, Cam, and GJ, when EM returns, the spot will be filled with one of them. However, there are a number of other rounds that do have open spots, another General round, an Out of this World, an 18+, and a Clean. I hope you take a look at those, and join whichever one you book best fits.

Also note, you can join only one round at a time.

[Marcel]

Hi Loralee, thanks for your advice! I will continue with my application for group 296, then.

[E.M.]

Having heard nothing from Andrew, I am removing him from the sign up 'possibles'.

Cam - are you free yet? if so the spot is yours.

G.J. - if Cam is not claiming it, I will move you here.

Thanks E.M.
I eagerly await in the 'wings' for the call :-)

[Cam]

G.J. can have the spot. I'm still finishing up my 4th book in another round. I will join another group. Cheers, Cam.

[E.M.]

Welcome, G.J. and thanks for letting me know Cam.

[E.M.]

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 4 below you.
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.

[G.J.]

Thanks E.M.
I can confirm that I have read books by Gene and Balroop before but not the books listed above.
Similarly, Eunice has read a different book of mine to the one I've listed.
Good to go! :-)

[David]

I have not reviewed any of the other authors on the list.

Edit, that is, "Good to go!" :-)

[Lynn]

Good to go.

And I have another book for Dorothy Mbori to read (actually a choice between a couple), since she's already read and reviewed the book that I have in this round.

-Lynn

[Jeff]

Good to go.

[Ann]

I have already reviewed Dorothy Mbori's book

[Balroop]

I am good to go.
Since Eunice has read this book, she can choose another one from my list of books.

[Gene, Admin]

I have reviewed Dorothy Mbori's book before and I'm not sure if she has an alternate. The others I've read before are listing different books.

[Eunice]

No clashes for me.

Balroop, if it’s okay with you I’ll read Slivers: Chiselled Poetry. I’ll pick it up through KU

[E.M.]

Well, clearly we have an issue here.

Hold those horses everyone please :)

[E.M.]

It seems I missed it when Ann said she had already read Dorothy's book

I can't see any way to restructure the group without reinforcing more clashes so as Dorothy signed up after Ann I will need to ask her to leave the round, for which I heartily apologise.

Dorothy - please take a look at the three open groups and see if your book can fit in any of them, let me know if not and I will prioritise you for future rounds.

[E.M.]

Please whoever wants to snag the last spot in this group check you fit in it before signing up. I can't move any of the people already here.

Thanks.

[G.J.]

Edward, have you checked whether your GR author site is set to 'anyone' for messages? I am unable to message you and it is needed for other authors to message you in this review group.
E.M.'s original guide/instructions do refer to this.
Thanks, G.J.

[Frank]

Hi GJ. Thanks for the invitation. I can't see anyone in the list above that I have reviewed in the past so there will not be any clashes if I join. Therefore I offer my book Summer Day.

I have no clashes with Frank.

Hi E.M, I will step out and join another round.

Thanks,

Thank you so much for understanding.

[E.M.]

Frank - I am sorry you do not fit into that spot as you have already reviewed G.J. - and it seems he has already reviewed you too. That means the only way you can ever be in a round together ongoing is in each other's blind spot. I hope you can find a place in one of the other rounds instead.

[Frank]

No problem.

[Laura]

I am done with a different round. My last review will be posed as soon as it comes up on Amazon. A lot of the names on the list look familiar to me, so I don't know if I can be fitted in or not. I suggest that, if you do accept me, you let the reviewers pick whichever of my books appeals the most. I've read G J Grithiths and and Gene Kendal before but they have multiple books so I can choose one. I think Balroop has reviewed one of my books. The other names don't look familiar, but I need to check more closely.

[E.M.]

Laura - just from what you have said I can see you won't fit in the final spot. Sorry. Maybe try one of the other groups.

[Laura]

Okay thank yoi.

[Charles]

I would like to enter my book "Essence" into this group. Here is the link:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Thanks, Charlie

[E.M.]

Welcome Charlie - I checked your clashes and I think I have negotiated a fit.

Soooo.... Fingers crossed everyone!

So, as before, 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.

I have no clashes with Charles. Good to go!
