Emma Jaye | 3691 comments In joining this group you have agreed TO REVIEW ANY ALLOCATED BOOK within the set 12 week limit.
If you don’t agree to that tell me now so that I can find another member who will do so.
This is the ‘18+’ group. Anyone is free to enter any genre book in this group, but should be aware that they will predominantly be reviewing books with explicit sex and/or violence.
Allocation is entirely random and there will NOT be any rearranging of the listing to accommodate genre preference. The ONLY circumstance in which you may duck out of giving a review is if YOU provide a stand-in reviewer.

Let’s be honest here – we don’t all like the same things but we all want reviews. The only way this group can function is if we trust each other to behave honourably. And it IS perfectly possible to give a fair-minded review of a text that does not coincide with our normal choice of reading matter. If you need a few hints/tips, please see this thread:

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 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 reviewer in a format the reviewer can manage. 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 by 29th Dec 2015

All reviews must be posted to GR, Amazon .com and Amazon.co.uk and all three links are to be posted on this thread.

Postings to any 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.

Please start to exchange your 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). Happy reviewing!


message 20: by Mary (new)

Mary Head (stillxmyxheart) | 10 comments Silly question, but can we post the reviews before the round dates? Like, suppose I read all four of my books this month, do I have to wait until the window for each book to post my reviews?


message 21: by Mark (new)

Mark McKay | 64 comments Emma, Robin has already reviewed me in a previous group. Sorry.


message 22: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3691 comments Of course you can Mary, complete them as fast as you like and in any order.


message 23: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3691 comments And Mark, oh bum.
I'll see what I can sort out. Robin you don't have to review Mark. I'll sort out another reviewer for you Mark.


message 24: by Mark (new)

Mark McKay | 64 comments Ok, thanks.


message 25: by Leah (new)

Leah Fitchett (leahjfitchett) | 6 comments Is this group filled already? I'd love to jump in.

Robin Peacock (rubik101) | 145 comments My Review for The Only One by Mary Head. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Amazon.co.uk https://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R3CK3...
Amazon.com the review was rejected!!???


message 38: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3691 comments This is what I love about this group, 2 reviews, the same book and two different but equally valid opinions. One person's meat is definitely another person's poison.

I suggest that you contact amazon.com and ask why your review was rejected Robin, it may be a simple fix.


message 39: by Robin (new)

Robin Peacock (rubik101) | 145 comments It shows up fine on .co.uk but not on .com?? I took out one word and tried again but no luck!


message 41: by Richard (new)

Richard Becker | 13 comments Reviews posted for The Only One and A Terminal Agenda. Great reads!


message 42: by Emma (new)

Mary Head (stillxmyxheart) | 10 comments Thank you Richard and Carly for your kind words. I'm glad you both enjoyed it!
