I'd be happy to write a review for your book if you'd do the same for me. What genre is yours? Mine is a suspenseful murder mystery.

Click on the link, and then the book cover...then scroll to the bottom to read the Amazon reviews.

Thanks for inviting me to join this group. I haven't written many reviews. I am an author, too, and I cannot be harsh and critical about another author's work. Besides, I am a patient reader. I give every writer plenty of time to get into the story and I read every word. I find that books with weak plots, cardboard characters, and even grammatical errors still have some redeeming qualities--if you look for them.

I just wanted to shout out a hello to DJ, ED, Annetta, Maureen, N.L., Richard and Cornell! Welcome to the group, it's great to see you all here!!

[Amy Eye]

Also hello and welcome to Vani and Penelope!! It's great to see you all!

I wiil read and review for you :) let me know i would like that very much :)

[Amy Eye]

Natalie - I was able to get on there! You may want to add this to the folder for bloggers too. I made the folder so everyone's links to their blogs etc didn't get lost in the mix of the new member messages! :-)

[Amy Eye]

@ Penelope - I agree, there are many good works out there that are not as polished as many others. I try not to be too concerned with the punctuation and grammar unless it happens a lot. Then it can be very distracting and pulls you away from the fantasy world you have tried to immerse yourself in. Then it becomes more like reading a text book (no feeling anymore).

ok thank you so much Amy, how do i do that, I just edited my profile and added my blog site to that, hey what did you think of the new layout

[Cornell]

NATALIE: That would be GREAT! How do you want me to send it to you? You can get a hard copy at Amazon.com (but that will cost you $10.95. You can download a Kindle version for $4.99. Or you can bid on a signed copy on ebay if you search for cornell deville. It's currently at 99 cents. Or I can email you a PDF document for free. You tell me what you'd prefer. And thanks again for reading and reviewing.

[Natalie]

Hey, Amy. Am I understanding correctly that you'd like to read and review my book? If so, let me know and we can talk about how to get it to you. Thanks!

[Amy Eye]

For any authors out there, I have set up a new folder that you can place any requests for reviewers. I think that would be a great way to keep it organized and not get lost int he shuffle!! :-)

[Mansi]

Thank yah Amy!
I will EXPRESS my thoughts!

Thank you for the invitation. I read and review quite a lot of books on my blog and other sites, mostly mysteries and thrillers. Have found some real gems by indie authors. Look forward to finding more.

DevilRebel and Jenny...WELCOME!! It's great to have you guys!

[Jess]

hey, thanks for the invite...
sharing my opinions on books and reading someone elses is the very reason why I´m on goodreads. :)

I´m currently in a very weird mood for I barely seem to get time to read and therefore simply don´t have anything to write about. But that hopefully changes soon.

[Brittany]

hi i love love reading books thanks for leting me join :-)

[Jennifer]

Hey everyone, this looks like a great group and I look forward to reading your reviews. I write an author blog but I also review books and interview authors at http://jenniferlanebooks.blogspot.com

[Amy Eye]

Welcome Jess, Brittany, and Jennifer!
@Jess - I'm sure seeing all of these wonderful reviews will jump start your muse, and you will be writing again before you know it!
@Brittany - We are so glad to have you!
@Jennifer - Thanks for the link! It's great to have you! We do have a folder for blog links and such so everyone can see them and they don't get lost in the shuffle!

Also - to the group, remember: look through all of the folders, there have been some new ones added, and if you think of a genre I have not added, feel free to put it up! This is a community group, and I want us all to be active participants here!

[Steven]

Hello, I am new in here and think this is a great group from what I see so far. Hopefully we can get some tips on how to write better reviews in here as well. Reviews are really hard even and especially when the book a person has read is awesome cause it's so hard not to tell everything about the book but let people know how great it was without just saying...it was great.
I also wish there was a way to post our reviews in Goodreads, directly to Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, and any other book sites as well from here. It get's time consuming to load every site and then repost stuff there. Maybe it's something Goodreads could work on somehow.

[Amy Eye]

Hello Steven! Welcome to the group! I can set up a new topic where people can add their best tips for review writing or write their approach to writing a review! If that is what you are looking for, let me know, and I can definitely put that up for you!
