Group 333. In This World - Mod. Chrys

[Laura]

Maybe we could go with each of us doing and receiving three reviews?

[S.D.]

Sounds okay to me

[Laura]

ALso there is an out of this world forming. I could move there, if that would free up space for Zara and the other person who tried to join recently.

[Gene, Admin]

I'm not sure if existing rules allow us to do three reviews instead of four.
Laura, you can feel free to move to the new Out of this World, but it looks like it's filling up fast and you might run into some conflicts there.

[Zara]

Gene wrote: "Sorry, Zara, but given the existing conflicts, I can't work out a way for you to fit."
no problem!

[William]

Michael;
Are you still looking for another book for this group? I have a Christian/LDS Action/Adventure Thriller called The Grace of God if you will have me.

[Laura]

Whether or not a person can get in depends on whether or not they fit in terms of having reviewed or been reviewed by others on the list. It's a bit tricky now that there are only two slots left. Gene will figure it out.

[Gene, Admin]

William,
Are you asking to join this In This World thread? Just post a link and list anyone in the first post that have 1. reviewed you and 2. you've reviewed. As long as the book is set in the real world, it should work.

[William]

I reviewed a different book from Laura Koerber but not this one. The link for my book, the Grace of God follows:

https://www.amazon.com/Grace-God-Orso...

[Angela]

(I'm also fine with the 3 reviews situation if that comes up. :))

[E.M.]

I have no prior review relationship with William

[Juliette]

I have no conflict with William.

[Gene, Admin]

Welcome, William. Hopefully, the last slot will fill up soon. :)

[Marcel]

Hi Gene,
I'd like to join Review Group Round 333 with
Awakening the Other Way: Nonduality and Existential Reason
I have reviewed Thomas and Laura before.
You have reviewed me before and so has Angela.
Might be difficult to fit me in but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Best, Marcel

[Marcel]

My only conflict in the current list is with Thomas who I have reviewed before. Swapping places 3 and 4 would solve that for me.

[Juliette]

I read the 4 above me right? Because I’ve reviewed Blind Cerulean, so I can review your book listed but you can’t review me. I’m pretty sure I verified this before….

If that’s right, then I have no conflicts.

[Angela]

Yay, I think I'm good to go too!

Gene, can I make a request? Can I swap my book "The Art of War: A Novel" (which two of the people assigned to read me have already read anyway) for a brand-new children's book I just published this summer? It's definitely "in this world" (and it doesn't get cleaner than this lol).

It's this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

[Gene, Admin]

Angela -- I've updated your book.
Everyone -- Please pause on posting review conflicts. I have a conflict with Juliette (right now, she's set to send me her book, which doesn't work.)
I'll work on rearranging the list again. As of now, these are the conflicts I have listed. If you know of another one, please let me know.
Angela don’t send to Gene
Angela don’t send to Thomas
Angela don't send to SD
Angela don't send to EM
EM don’t send to Gene
EM don’t send to Thomas
EM don't send to S.D. Brown

[Laura]

Gene, I have no idea how you guys ever figure this out. I am in awe.

[E.M.]

Laura has reviewed me too.

[William]

That seems to be a talent that is not InThis World! LoL!

[Jonathan]

Hello, my name is Michelle and I’m new to the review group and would like to join the “in this world “ group. I saw on the welcome thread that group members can be family on behalf of the author. Jonathan Lucci is the author, I’m his wife and I’m helping him with the business aspect. I’m an avid reader though and am looking forward to reviewing 4 books!

His book is called, The Heavens Falling https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It’s a Civil War historical fiction novel.

Let me know what I’m supposed to do next!

[Jonathan]

Oh, I just saw the post with all the names assigned so I guess the group started? Should I find a different group then?

[Gene, Admin]

Jonathan wrote: "Oh, I just saw the post with all the names assigned so I guess the group started? Should I find a different group then?"

No, this thread is still forming. Can I assume Jonathan hasn't reviewed any of the books listed in this thread's first post?

[Juliette]

No conflict

[Jonathan]

Gene- sorry about the confusion, I joined the other thread because I thought this one was already full and started. No Jon and I haven’t reviewed any books yet.

[David]

Hi Everyone. I hope all is well. May I join with Jigsaw Beginnings? (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09489W8JQ?...) I have read one of S.D.'s earlier works but not the one she has in this round. Angela and E.M. have read Beginnings but they can read another book in the series if they like (either Warheads or History's Forgotten: Part One.) Please advise and take care.

[Gene, Admin]

I think we have an order that works, but of course everyone must confirm.

Instructions are below...
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.
If you spot a clash or someone in the four below you who has no book you can review, please say.
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.

[David]

Good to go.

[E.M.]

Thanks for sorting it all Gene, I'm good to go!

[Jonathan]

Good to go!

[S.D.]

I'm good to go....

[Angela]

Uh oh. I don't recall reading any of David's books before (and don't see them under my Reviews/Read Books), but David has read and reviewed me (The Wake Up).

[William]

William Staub is good to go, too.

[Gene, Admin]

Thanks, Angela.

David, sorry but you can't fit with this conflict.

Welp, we're back to "One Needed." Everyone, please hold up on posting confirmations. If you know of any author with an "in this world' book, please send them this way. :)

[David]

Hi Gene

Please forgive but where is the conflict. I have not read the book Angela has in this round. Please advise and take care.

[Gene, Admin]

David wrote: "Hi Gene

David, you would be sending a book to Angela to review, which creates a conflict.

[David]

Hi Gene,

One more question, please. Angela said she has not read any of my books. Please advise and take care.

[Gene, Admin]

David, you have reviewed Angela, so she can't review your book. The list only works if you send her a book, which creates a conflict. Also, rechecking your book description, time travel doesn't fit the established "In this world" rules.

[David]

Okay. Thank you and take care.

[Khurram]

So I would like to join.
I made the required settings
Here is my book link on Goodreads
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Sorry if I left out some information. Do I just need to read 4 of the books in the list?

[Gene, Admin]

Khurram,
You have to list anyone in post #1 who has reviewed you, and any of those people that you have reviewed. When the round starts, authors will review the four books next to their name on the list.

[Juliette]

I’ve reviewed Khurram’s book

[S.D.]

I have not reviewed Khurram nor has he reviewed me

[Khurram]

Can I review SD Brown's book?

[E.M.]

Khurram wrote: "Can I review SD Brown's book?"

You will be assigned the four books you need to read once the group is set up

In order to enter the round you need to look at the list and post who (if anyone) on it you have reviewed already, and who has reviewed you. If no one has, then just post to say that you have no previous review relationship with anyone in the group.
Hope this helps :)

[E.M.]

I have not reviewed or been reviewed by Khurram.

[Khurram]

I have only read Juliette Godot's book. I've not read any of the others. Sorry, finding it tricky to get used to the rules...

It is confusing at first for everyone, but people here will help you with it and as the round gets going there will be full instructions given so don't worry :)
