Thank you for your patience. We have a new order. Please check for clashes again and if you are good, check in again. We'll check now to make certain there are no conflicts, and alternates are available for those who need them.
Please 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.
Remember you're SENDING your book to the four names above you (the list wraps so 10 is above 1) -- and you're RECEIVING books from the four names below you on the first post of the thread.
Once EVERYONE confirms they're good to go, the round can begin.
Oh! I’m excited to be in the group! I have no conflicts since this is my first one. Thanks for letting me be a part of it!
I would like to join this group. My book is a romantic suspense called the Firstborn Son.

However there is a mystery, thriller and suspense group that is seeking a few more participants. Perhaps you would like to join that group?

Excellent, we are more than halfway checked in! We just now need to hear from Balroop, Seth, Andrea and Sinmisola that the new order works and then we can get rolling.
Good to go! Kat, could you please update my book link when you get a chance? It has multiple links for some reason, but I would rather use this link, which has the most traffic. Thanks!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Seth, I apologize. I was sure I changed this the other day. I changed it now.
We have 9 out of 10 checked in and just need to hear from Andrea to get started. If we haven't heard from her by 3/3, I will open that spot back up.
Just to get in line if Andrea drops out, I have a brand new book that no one has reviewed:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Both P.L. and Seth have reviewed a different book of mine. I've reviewed several of Balroop's books, but none of the four below Andrea's spot.
Hi Dave! I have also contacted Kaia, who put her name in as an alternate a few spots back, but I have not heard back from her yet. If I don't hear back from her or Andrea by Friday AM, I will put you into that spot, as it appears you will fit there without clashes and then we will get started one way or another!
Okay, Kaia did message me back and does want to go into that spot if we don't hear back from Andrea. But, Dave, hold tight as we have already made several substitutions this round, so you never know!

Okay, so Kaia has indicated she would prefer to join the mystery round rather than this group, so Dave, if Andrea still hasn't checked in by tomorrow AM, I'll put you into that spot and we'll get rolling.
Here we go! You SEND books to the 4 people ABOVE you, and receive from the 4 people BELOW you. If you think you see a mistake on the list, please leave a comment!Member Links * Book Links

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 addresses 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.
I will be modding this round. Please PM me ongoing with any issues. Thanks.
Oops. Spike, are you set up to receive PMs? I used the link above to find your author page, and wasn't able to find the PM link. Did I get something wrong?
I am set up for PM's under S.D. Brown...But don't worry about it, I always buy the books I review so they receive a verified review.For those reviewing Escape to Molokai, it will be up for free starting tomorrow for 5 days.
Hello! My books will be on sale at the end of April, for 99c, for anyone planning to buy them. Otherwise I can send along the PDFs. I'll email my recipients now.
My book is available on Kindle Unlimited for all those who have that.Thank you,
Zita Harrison
Spike Brown's profile is not set to receiving messages.
Spike brown can't receive messages. Can't contact him about my book.
Sinmisola, Spike, and Sandra: I've obtained your books on Kindle Unlimited, so no need to send me anything.KA: I've sent you a PM.
Hi Juliette,please let me know where to send my PDF of the Strange Taste of Metal. Hoping to send an epub if needed later, but travelling at the mo, having tech issues
Thanks,
Karlee

Just a quick note... it is not recommended to post email addresses in the thread. Just like all other public internet spaces, spammers will search here and bombard you with junk if they get your contact info. I would recommend using the PM system instead.

My review of Balroop's Hues of Hope. I will post the Amazon review once it is up.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Hi, if anyone reviewing The Strange Taste of Metal, would prefer epub format, I have a promotion on Smashwords until 11th March where it's free. Cheers, Karlee
A quick note as reviews start to come up... please make sure that you are posting "clean" links with your personal identifying information removed. Sandra's link in post #90 is an example of the perfect way to do this on GR. On Amz, delete everything after and including the letters "ref" in the link.

Thank you Sandra.
Thanks, Zita. I’m glad you liked it!
