Group 309. Clean - Mod. Chrys

[K.T.]

Is the list completely set? I think Angela and SD are my only conflicts - I’d have to review them (they can’t review me). If SD can move down so I’d review them that’ll work, otherwise I’ll wait for another group. ☺️ thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

Thanks,
K.T.

Sorry K.T. - we kind of need someone who can fit the free slot

I understand. Thanks for checking!

[Audrey]

Morning!

Would love to be the last one on the list with my perma-free, short story.

It's a YA Contemporary Romance, Where There's Smoke There's Fire and although the FMC is the pastor's daughter there is no religious discussion.

Audrey - I'm very happy to add you to the group, but for me to be able to do so you need to have your messaging status set to allow the mod and group members to communicate with you.
In order to participate in this round, your setting for 'Who Can Send Me Private Messages' needs to be 'anyone'.

Please follow this link to check - and if necessary change - your privacy setting.

https://www.goodreads.com/user/edit?t...

Thanks.

[Audrey]

Thanks!

It should be set to anyone now.

[S.D.]

no conflicts with Audrey

[E.M.]

Welcome Audrey :)

Everyone - 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.

Remember that 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. Please ask if you are not sure about something, we've all been there and know how confusing the first time here can feel :)

Read Message 1 - that includes the list of who is in the round with links to their author profiles and their books.

[Cat]

No. Not poisoned in Provence. Please let me know you all realize the book to be reviewed in this round is Silenced in Salem

[Audrey]

Cat wrote: "No. Not poisoned in Provence. Please let me know you all realize the book to be reviewed in this round is Silenced in Salem"

I copied and pasted from the original list but didn't realize it was changed.

Cat, if you took the time to read Message 1 (please do so now if you have not) you will see the book that is listed for you. It is the only book link you gave me when you signed up.

Although you mentioned you had a book coming out, you did not provide the link so I have no way to know when that might be or what it is and thus have not changed from the original link you submitted.

If you wish to change the book listed for another title please post a link to the book you wish to be reviewed.

Thanks.

[Mary]

good to go

[Cat]

E.M. Thank you

Here is Silenced in Salem - the link works as there have been some reviews listed. Below is the Goodreads link and it is also on Amazon

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 Chrys Cymri will be modding this round and will be by shortly to say hello. Please PM her ongoing with any issues. Thanks.

[Chrys]
