The only profile for me is the second one listed? I only have one book listed and that is the one for review.John
John, click on your name or your avatar in the message you just posted. You'll see that it takes you to the first profile link, not the second. That is the author profile you are posting from.
If the only book you have written is the one you have submitted for review (Deer Hunter), you may want to contact the GR librarians using the link I gave you, and ask them to move your book so that it's associated correctly with your actual author profile (I'm assuming the other books are written by others with your same name), and get the book that listed on your profile you're posting from removed if it's not yours.
I would like to join this round. I have reviewed Loralee's Ephraim's Garden, so I'd have to sidestep there. Thanks for your consideration,
Neil

All best,
Neil
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.

Neil wrote: "I have reviewed Loralee Evans Ephraim's Garden"She'll provide an alternate book for you.
Tony wrote: "I am good to start, say when?"Hi Tony! Right now everyone will check in and confirm that the reading order works for them. After all 10 people have checked in as "good to go" further instructions will be provided and the round will begin. :)
I'm good to go; I have read one of Barloop's but not the one on the list. Also I have read Labyritha but I can another book by Ann.
Mod
Thank you, Loralee. I'll go for Felicity, A Sparrow's Tale, if you're agreeable

That's great, Neil! I know they'll appreciate the page reads. Just as an FYI for everyone, it's always a good idea to wait until the round officially launches because sometimes things can change and we've had people drop out at the last second. But we've got all 10 people checked in now, so I'll get everything set up here in a sec. Thanks, everyone! Warmly, Kat :)
Tony and Neil I got your books from KU so no need to send.

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 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.
I will be modding this round. Please PM me ongoing with any issues. Thanks.
Some final things: Please shorten your Amazon link, removing everything after and including the letters "ref" -- that will give you a clean link that doesn't include any of your personal information.It can take up to a week for your Amazon review to go live. Sometimes they go through right away. Other times it can be a long wait. If you post your GR link and the Amz link comes in later, please make a new separate post for your new link.
Thanks and happy reading! :)

Everyone, if your Amazon link comes in separately from your GR link, could you please make a separate post for it? That really helps me because I have eyestrain due to severe migraines and then I do not have to go back and comb through every post in the thread looking for links, but can just check back to the last place I have responded. Thank you!Please ensure that you've reached out to all four people who are reading your book via GR messaging and arranged to send them a copy of your book. Please let me know if you haven't been able to get a copy of any of your assigned books by the end of the week.

Hello, I am new, and I would like to participate if it is not too late. I am posting the link below. Unfortunatley, adding a book via "add book/author"does not work.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSWZNRW4
I spent more than an hour on reading rules and finding groups. But I am still confused and I did not figure out how it all works. Shall I write to the moderator?
Thanks,
Alaya

Hi Alaya!
This round is already full and in progress. New rounds start up regularly, so check back every few days and look for a round that says "now forming" in the thread title:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
While you wait for a new round to form, please check out our one for one list. You choose a book from the first post of the list, contact the author for a review copy, read and review, and after you post the links to your reviews on GR/Amz, your book will be added for someone else to choose and review. No waiting required. Full instructions in the first post of the thread:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Thanks for those links! Loralee, you're all done. See you in a future round!
Is this one filled yet? I just finished a Chain and am looking for another chain or round. It looks like you've already gotten the list filled. I only have one book: https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Heaven-Le...
I've reviewed EK Francis', the Compound
I've reviewed Loralee, but not this book
Balroop and Anne have both reviewed me.
Let me know.

But you are posting under this author profile:

If all of those books are yours, I would contact GR help desk to merge the profiles. If only some of the books are yours, then I would contact the GR librarians and have the correct books moved to your author profile.
