I'm afraid I posted without thinking through the timeline carefully. Things are too busy here for me to be able to review any books in the next few months.
I'm very sorry--please remove..."
Okay. Thanks for letting me know.
Linda Sanchez and Sebastian Black have both reviewed my novel She Named Me Wolf, but they could review my 2nd novel in the series (also supernatural/paranormal themes) titled His Name is Junsaku. I have reviewed S.D. Brown's 'Alabaster Alibi' but not the book listed for this group. I think that's my potential conflicts :)
I can't tell if this group is full or not. if not, I would like to join with my youth fantasy book Most Unlikely Heroes.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I have gone through the names and was previously reviewed by Ann
W,R,
Mod
Below are the conflicts I have listed. There's no need to respond if you DON'T have a conflict, because we're still forming. But if you do see a conflict, or know of one I haven't listed, please give an appropriate yell.
S.D. can't send to Ann
S.D. can't send to Linda
Linda can't send to Eric
Linda can't send to Ann
Eric can't send to Ann
Tenkara can't send to S.D.
Jennifer can't send to S.D.
Sebastian can't send to Tenkara
Linda can't send to Sebastian
Ann can't send to W.R.
I'd love to join with Timeless Honor: A Steamy 18th Century Time-Travel Romance or an alternate, but I'm not sure if I can fit without conflicts. I have to go in Ann's blind spot since I've read all of her books.
I've read from Linda and Eric before, but not their chosen books.
S.D. has read from me before, but not my chosen book.
No conflicts with anyone else as far as I can tell.
Thanks!

Hi Gene. I noticed that W.R. Rosche did not set his messages to "anyone". I am good with the line up so far.
Mod
Thanks, Ann. Looks like that's now been addressed.

When I click on his name in the list of people I have to read, it shows that I cannot message him. Maybe it's me. Can you click on that link?

When I click on his profile, I see the standard "Send Message" link.
W. R. -- can you verify that your message settings are for "Everyone"? Thanks.
Ok. It seems to be a problem with the link in the list. When I click on #8 W.R. Rosche it goes to a different profileMember Links | Book Links

W.R. -- please consider stopping by the Goodreads Librarians board and asking them to merge these profiles.
I'll be offering my fantasy novel for review instead, if that's ok. It's been easy enough to get reviews for my shorts elsewhere.Perilous Shores
I would join you guys with Fate of the Godstones, but I have a conflict as the group sits right now. I read Tenkara already, but it was a different book so that is ok. Unfortunately, S,D. Brown has read one of my books and the way this group sits now, I would need to read S.D and that can't be....
If the order of the members changes, here is the link to Fate of the Godstones.

Also, I have read you, Gene, but I don't see your book on this list anymore?
Hi,If possible, I would like to join with my philosophical sci-fi book Children of Jotunheim: When Human Gods Fall:
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F...
Conflicts:
Tenkara Smart has read Children of Jotunheim.
I have read Truth: A Conspiratorium Novel by Linda A. Sanchez.
I have no conflicts with the other participants. In case of any other possible conflicts, readings can be done from The Big Crunch or my other books.
Note: I have completed my readings in Groups 383 and 386.
Best regards,
Mehmet

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.
If you write under a pen name or have additional Goodreads profiles, then you'll have to follow these instructions for every pen name or additional Goodreads profile.
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.
I have read from Tenkara above me. Everyone below me that I have reviewed has alternate books.
I've read Tenkara and been read by Linda--- I'm good to go.
Tenkara (above me) has read my book – I have alternative books.I’ve read Linda’s book (below me) – she has alternative books.
Good to go!
Now that you shuffled me in, I am good to go!

HI Gene:
Could please clarify this for me? Do I have two profiles? If so, what information do I have to give to the Librarians board?
Thanks for any assistance.

Gene wrote: "Thanks, I think I've fixed it..."
Yes, Goodreads has created two profiles for you. I believe this can be addressed by asking the Librarians to merge them.
Mod
Okay, since Linda has reviewed Tenkara, and is set to be sending Tenkara her book, this order won't work.
Everyone please refrain from checking in until I've worked out a new order. It's possible one of the names will have to be removed, but I'll do what I can to see if the current list can work in a different order.
The conflicts as I have them (please respond if you know of one I haven't listed...and we'll have to remember we have two authors named Jennifer):
S.D. can't send to Ann
S.D. can't send to Linda
S.D. can't send to Jennifer_Abrahamsen
Tenkara can't send to S.D.
Tenkara can't send to Mehmet.
Linda can't send to Eric
Linda can't send to Ann
Linda can't send to Sebastian
Linda can't send to Tenkara
Eric can't send to Ann
Jennifer can't send to S.D.
Sebastian can't send to Tenkara
Ann can't send to W.R.
Jennifer_Abrahamsen can't send to Tenkara.
Mehmet can't send to Linda.

Everyone - please post to tell me if you have reviewed any of the four people above you on the list. I realize some have already done so, but everyone needs to re-check, as the order has changed.
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.
If you write under a pen name or have additional Goodreads profiles, then you'll have to follow these instructions for every pen name or additional Goodreads profile.

I don't know what you're responding to W.R. Are you saying you have no review conflicts with the current list?

Sorry, I should have been more explicit: I have no review conflicts.
I am good to go. Most Unlikely Heroes will be free on Amazon, starting tomorrow.W.R.

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 labor of love, with a lot of emphasis on the ‘labor’. 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 :)

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.
Jennifer Reinoehl will be modding this round as her inaguaral modding experience and will be by shortly to say hello. Please PM Jennifer ongoing with any issues. Thanks.
Mod
Some final notes: 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's important to respond to messages and send your book files as soon possible, as some reviewers read faster than others and they shouldn't be held up waiting for their review copy.
And just a tip -- since Amazon can take days and days to post the review, you might want to wait until the Amazon review appears, then post your Goodreads review, and post both links together in one message on this thread.
If you don't have the Goodreads and Amazon links on the same date, please do not edit your post to add the second link. The mod likely won't see that, so create a new post with the link.
Again, Jennifer Reinoehl will be modding this round, so please offer her a proper welcome. :)
I have already grabbed the books I'm reviewing off of Amazon... so no need to message me.Also, Saving Bigfoot Valley is free today and tomorrow on Amazon
