Thanks Terry - hopefully we will hear from Connor soon, if not I will take the last spot so we can roll!

If I couldn't fit comfortably I'll just pass on reviews that clash. I want to get this round rolling very badly! But hopefully Connor will be in touch soon and all will be well :)
EM - I have a problem with my editions of "Mystery at Chances Hill, A Teenage Mystery". On Amazon, it shows ONLY my recent edition from 2022 (ebook and paperback). However, I cannot seem to get Goodreads to show only one edition, my latest (2022). It matters to me that readers/reviewers get the 2022 edition. Any advice? They won't combine the earlier edition nor show reviews that were placed only on Amazon.
I could change the book entirely to another of mine? "Christmas in the Blue Ridge, Saving Bethlehem" is clean and for adults.
Reviewers would either be buying it on Amazon or getting it directly from you, so we should all get the recent edition.
We just need to select change edition when posting our reviews.
Thank you, Terry! That’s a relief. The earlier edition does not show on Amazon.
E.M. wrote: "Thanks Terry - hopefully we will hear from Connor soon, if not I will take the last spot so we can roll!"If you are needing to fill a spot. I would love to join with my book New Hope. As far as I can tell, no one has reviewed me before, but I have reviewed Loralee before.
Molly wrote: "Thank you, Terry! That’s a relief. The earlier edition does not show on Amazon."No need to worry, Molly - Terry is right and thanks Terry for stepping in with the reassurance :)

Thanks Amanda! Please stay on standby. I'll give Connor until tomorrow as he has been emailed so should get the message. That will be a week since he was asked to check in.
Meanwhile, if anyone (aside Loralee) has a clash with Amanda please let me know. I will do the final checks myself. I really want this round to roll!
E.M. wrote: "...Meanwhile, if anyone (aside Loralee) has a clash with Amanda please let me know..."No clash with Amanda for me. :)

Hypothetical question: Would it create a problem, if a person reviewed an unpublished anthology we were in?

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 :)
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 Loralee Evans will be modding this round and will be by shortly to say hello. Please PM them ongoing with any issues. Thanks.

(Even with them being stand-alone, does it help to read them in order?) Just let me know which book. Thanks! :)

Terry wrote: "More fun to read in order, so I suggest Antocracy. I assume you'll have a chance to read book 3 in later rounds..."The Rise and Fall of Antocracy it is, then! I see it's available through KU, so I'll grab a copy that way.
And yes, I expect to see you again in another round and I'll get to book 3 then. :)

Have you already tried contacting the Goodreads Librarians Group about combining the various editions that are on Goodreads?
If you haven't yet tried there, it looks like you'd want to post in the Help me, Superlibrarian! folder, at least according to their post "Read this before posting in this folder" (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...). And it looks like you'll need to provide them with links to all the editions that are showing on Goodreads.
Hope that helps!
-Lynn
Yes, but thank you. I've had all kinds of issues because I have 2 author accounts. I resolved most but not all of the problems. There are simply some things that cannot be redone. This is probably the best it will get unless I redo this older author account.

Please also make sure to contact the people whose books you will be reviewing. Again, you can ask them to send pdfs, mobis or epubs. You can buy the books if you choose, but are not required to do so.

Finished reading "Naturally Supporting Cancer Treatment" by Jenny Graveshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
https://www.amazon.com/review/R215ZKM...
Although this was assigned to me for Round 4, I felt the need to post my review today as this is the anniversary of my cancer surgery. This is an excellent book!
For Round 1, it was my pleasure to have read, "Eliana-Who-Sees-Us" by Amani Jesu. Because I have other plans from Dec. 22 to the end of the month, I decided to post Round 1 today. I'll let you know when Amazon posts the review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Thank you so much, Molly, for your fabulous reviews. I'm so glad that you found it helpful. It makes all the work that went into it worthwhile. May you continue to enjoy good health.

Thanks for that Goodreads review S. Lynn. Post the Amazon link when you can.
Thanks for that Goodreads link, Art. Post your Amazon link for the book when it comes available.
Amazon says it may take a couple of day for it to post. I will post the link as soon as they do.

Thanks Loralee, I appreciate it. Yes, you were supposed to giggle because like so many men the 'Dad' hadn't a clue where he was. But their car slid into a ditch right in front of the dead Aunt's horse farm. He didn't figure out where he was until his wife cried.
