Everyone, so that there is no confusion, you will NOT be reviewing the people above you. The 4 people above you will be reviewing you. You will be reviewing the 4 people below you, and they will NOT review you.
Reciprocal reviews are against the ethos of this review group and other review groups I've seen, because people reviewing each other has the potential to inflate reviews artificially. These reviews are for potential readers as much as they are to help each other boost review numbers, so if someone is set to review you, do not review them. If Amazon discovers reciprocal reviews, they tend to delete them anyway.

Thank you so much for your response, Veronica!

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. You can finish as quickly as you like, provided you have read all your assigned books. (See rule #10.)
All reviews must be posted to GR. We also expect 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’.

I have reviewed on Amazon as well as I have KU, but I don't see how to post the link to that review?
Alexander, go to Amazon.co.uk and find the product you are looking for. Here is a link to help you:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ephraims-Gar...
Once there, scroll down until you see "Customer Reviews" on the left side. Below this, you should see "Review this product" and just under that, you should see a button that says "Write a customer review" click on that, and that should take you to where you can write a review.

Yes, you need to post the links for goodreads and amazon to be complete for one review.
Sometimes Amazon can take days to post the reviews though. I have seen it take up to two weeks.
If you don't get your review right away, don't worry. Just wait until it comes though, then post it.
It helps me if you post the links together. But if you post your goodreads link first, please post a new link with your amazon review when it comes through, so I can see that it is done.

Terry is right. I have bought books before, then reviewed them on my computer, and the verified review purchase tag did not show up.
