Group 333. In This World - Mod. Chrys

[Gene, Admin]

Thanks, Khurram. This would make our tenth author.

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 :)

[Angela]

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 :)

[Gene, Admin]

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

[Angela]

Hi guys! I've already downloaded via Kindle all four books I'll be reading so no need to send them my way. :)

Thanks so much for that, Angela, you can ignore my PM then ;)

[E.M.]

I too have obtained all bar one of my books to read on KU or by purchase.

[Chrys]

Hi all

Just dropping in to say 'hello' and to wish everyone a lot of good reading!

[S.D.]

I'll grab the books I'm reviewing on Amazon... And will put up Bloodstone for free starting tomorrow through Saturday.

[Thomas]

I assume that the one you haven't gotten is mine, because it isn't on KU.

Mine is expensive, so I'll glady send you a free copy.

I've sent to Juliette + Jonathon! Clive HawkswoodClive + William StaubWilliam, please let me know where you'd like me to send you a PDF before Friday (I'm scheduled for a c-section then, and will be out of the loop for a bit after). The paperback is also available on Amazon, but I'm currently updating the Kindle version's content to reflect the latest version of the book, so please don't try kindle unlimited for the next few days.

Hi Clive, can you send me your novel?
Kelahi@rocketmail.com

[E.M.]

Just to suggest people don't put their emails on public display.

It is much safer to PM people or you will attract a lot of spam :)

[Sass]

Hello ... I've been searching for an answer ... I am a GR reviewer in this group and others. Are there any open spaces or groups forming?

[Clive]

Khurram wrote: "Hi Clive, can you send me your novel?

Hi Khurram, on Wednesday you sent me a PM saying that you’d already picked it up on KU: I can send you a pdf to your email address if you would prefer, but I’d be grateful if you could confirm what is what you want,

Regards, Clive

[Khurram]

Sorry you're right Clive.
I got confused. Ignore my message

Sass, Gene already answered you in another thread you posted in. Currently there are no rounds open. A round that is open for new members will say "Now Forming" in the thread title.

While you're waiting, perhaps you would like to hop over to the one for one list? You can choose any book from the first post of the list, read and review it, and once you've posted the links to your review on GR/Amz, your book will be added to the list for someone else to choose.
