Please note we are now asking reviewers to post a link to the book they are reviewing when the file is safely received and the reading has begun. This is confirmation for the author and the mods that all is well.

I have received the file for Mike's novel and will start reading it in the next day or two.

Thanks, Larry :)

I have just received Marie-Anne's file:


She should have internet access and be back with us again in 10 days.

I have received Sylvie's book. Will start reading it on Monday:

Thanks, Mona :)

Here is the link to my review of Mike's San Anto (Rivals #1)http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sorry, Jay - never answered your question; yes it is Eileen's Sydney's Story

Thanks, Larry, an excellent review :)

That's OK, Marie-Anne - not many members do tell me the book they're reviewing, but it's a minor point and I won't get my knickers in a twist over it. I just thought it would save any potential for confusion when the author has more than one book available.

My review of "The Other Side of Silence"

Thanks, Kanwar - you've really whetted my appetite. I'm about to write the review for your book and Sylvie is my next assignment :)

I will post the review on Amazon and Amazon.uk soon.

Here's my review of Kanwar's short stories:

Thanks, Kanwar - most enjoyable and enlightening :)

Hi Jay,

Thank you very much for the excellent review of my book. And thank you very much for the kind words for the stories.

And I am glad to know that you enjoyed reading the book.

regards
Kanwar

I started Larry's book a while back. Wow, really different for me. Put it aside for a while, then duty called and I started it again. Now I'm hooked, I'll be done with the review by the end of the weekend and I'm thinking I know someone who will really like reading it, so that's going to be an early Christmas present for him.

I know what you mean, Mona. I've really expanded my range of reading thanks to this group, and I would hate to have missed the mind-opening experience.

It's amazing to me how many women really like D-E-D, DEAD! I never would have guessed that there were that many females out there who read action/adventure. Much more than half of my sales have been to women readers. Thanks to you both for the kind words.

Larry it's more than action/adventure, at least for me. It's getting into the character's reasoning and attitudes. Yeah, he's a jerk but he's a jerk with principles.

Hey, Larry, you deserve some credit, but don't hog it all lol! I wasn't talking solely about D-E-D, but all the books I've read here: Johnny's White Limousine, Marie-Anne's Whorticulture, Mike's San Anto, Kanwar's Shadows of Lost Time, and I'm now reading Sylvie's The Other Side of Silence and Eileen's Sydney's Story. In other circumstances I wouldn't have read any of them, and I have/am enjoying them all. I guess I was extremely lucky in the group I ended up in. I'm hoping the other members are thinking the same thing.

I'm duly chastised...:) I also have been lucky to read some great books in this group that I may not have picked otherwise.

And the fact remains, DED was quite a unique experience - thank you for sharing it with us :)

Here is my review of Eileen's Sydney's Story... in Alberto's words PLOT SPOILER PLOT SPOILER ALERT!

Thanks, Marie-Anne :)

Hey, Larry, you said over half your books sold have been to women. How do you know? What's your secret?

Larry, finally got the review finished for D*E*D. Posted on Goodreads and Amazon. That a lot of book! Thanks for the opportunity to read

Thank you, Philip, that review is special for me as there is so much of me in Maggie. Mind you, there have been many times I wished I was more like her!
