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.

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]

Hi all

Just dropping in to say hello. Any issues, just send me a message.

[Bookilarian]

Hey Dennis Strubbe

I can't direct message you unfortunately, you may need to change something in your settings...

thanks
CJ

[Dennis]

Okay. Just changed my DM to anyone. Sorry. Thought I already did that.

[Rik]

Hi Dennis!
It hasn't taken effect yet
I will try it later, or you can message ma and I'll reply!
Talk to you later!

[Dennis]

No hurry, but I haven’t heard back from Florian Armas. Wondering if my PMs aren’t getting through. Or maybe I’m not getting the replies?

[Joseph]

Dennis wrote: "No hurry, but I haven’t heard back from Florian Armas. Wondering if my PMs aren’t getting through. Or maybe I’m not getting the replies?"

Interesting. I haven't either.

[P.L.]

I'm expecting Florian to reach out to me to ask about sending a copy over, but have heard nothing as yet. It's not at all a bother as yet, as I have my round three book in hand (Thank you Joseph!) and am in touch with round four, Noor.

Terry--I see you a few posts up. :) Would love a PDF of Antuna's story! You are my round #2.

All of the people I am to send off to are squared away.

Here's my review for Seven Strengths: A Tale from Turaset, for round 1 (since I've already reviewed Aerovoyant).

[P.L.]

Thank you, dear! You are a rock star. :)

[Florian]

Sorry for the late reaction but I had a computer crash. It will take a few days to repair it.
I will buy all the books in my list.

[Dennis]

Thanks, Florian. Mines free on Kindle Unlimited—if you have it. :)

[P.L.]

Oh, thank you Florian! Good karma all around. And I've sent you a reply to your mail.

[Dennis]

Mine’s (typo)😂

[Joseph]

After having a computer crash you needn't go spending money. Send me an email address and I will happily furnish a pdf copy. My book is also free on kindle unlimited if you have that.

Yep, but still. That was a very good review. Very succinct and describes the book.
