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.]

GUIDE FOR THOSE NEW TO THESE 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.

Firstly please make sure your private message status is set to 'Anyone'. You can find it under Account Settings > Edit my user Profile > Settings > Privacy > Who Can Send Me Private Messages.

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.

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.

The wonderful Loralee Evans will be modding this round. Please PM her ongoing with any issues. Thanks.

[Loralee, Admin]

Hello, everyone! As EM said, I’ll be modding this round. Let me know of any questions you have as the round moves forward.

Once you have completed your reviews, please post links to those reviews for both goodreads and amazon, here so that I can count you as done for that particular book.

[Loralee, Admin]

Everyone, especially the newbies, here is an example of what I'd like to see from you when you post links to your reviews. This is my first review for Saving Bigfoot Valley by S.D. Brown.

My Reviews for S.D.'s book:

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/review/R38S1O4...
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Notice that the link takes you to the individual review that I wrote, NOT to the book itself. When you post links to your reviews, please make sure that they go to your reviews of the book, not to the book's page.

[Mary]

So there are just three people above me who will review me? Am I reading that correctly. I don't skip the empty spot and send to Leam?

[Leam]

Mary wrote: "So there are just three people above me who will review me? Am I reading that correctly. I don't skip the empty spot and send to Leam?"

Hey Mary, check out message 101 in this thread. It shows who reviews you, and who you review.

[Loralee, Admin]

Mary: Marcel, S. Lynn, Kim, and Henryan will be reviewing you. Also, look at message 1. In the line up there, you'll see the people below you whom you should review, and the people above you who will review you. And as Leam mentioned, message 101 gives us a list of the people we review and the people reviewing us.

[Denis]

A reminder to my reviewers: My book is available for free from Tuesday the 7th 00:00 PST to Thursday the 9th 23:59 PST.

When you post the review, please make sure it's the same edition you downloaded, because there are two of them. For amazon.com it's the link on the first page of this thread.

Thanks a lot!

Denis

[Marcel]

FYI, this is the last free download day of my entry "Existential Rationalism." Ending Tuesday, 7 Dec. 23:59h PT. Link:
amazon.com/dp/B09MR33PL2
Also from me, a friendly request to all reviewers to use this same link when posting your reviews:-)
Thank you! Marcel

[Loralee, Admin]

Denis, on the first page of this thread, all the links I see for your book are to pages on goodreads.

Hi S.D. Brown, I'm unable to send you a private message. Kindly pm me your email address so I may send you the pdf. Thank you!!

[Loralee, Admin]

Here are my next two reviews.

Leam's book:

Denis' book:

I tend to read and post my reviews quickly. Please don't think you are obligated to read as fast. Some people like to read quickly, and others like to take their time. As long as you are within the deadlines, you're fine.

Also, if you find yourself stuck, or need a question answered, please let me know. I will do my best to help.

You did it right anyway, Loralee. Thanks for the review. I meant the "amazon" button on the goodreads page, under "GET A COPY". It appears on everybody's goodreads page.

[Loralee, Admin]

Here is my last review of Sadhana's book.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/review/R2H1R6T...
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My four reviews are all finished now. I will still be here though, to answer questions and help where I can. The first deadline is the 27th.

[Kim]

Round 1: My reviews of Marcel's Existential Rationalism:


I use a different account under the name Chester C. To review to avoid swaps.

Amazon @ will send screenshot to author and Loralee. Will add link here once review is published.
Amazon takes a while to publish my reviews.


Goodreads @ https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Loralee, Admin]

Thank you, Kim. Amazon does like to take their sweet time. I look forward to seeing your Amazon review when it comes up!

[Leam]

Wow, can't remember Amazon taking less than a day! Maybe they like the book too? :) My reviews of Henryan Arkson's "Amperyall Star and the Egosyntonic Frequencies"

Leam, it appears that you posted links to your Amazon review twice. I found your goodreads review to Henryan's book, though.

I finished posting all my reviews already under the name Chester C. Just waiting for amazon to approve, so i can post links here. Thanks!!
