Thanks,

I would be interested. I just want to clarify, would all four book reviews need to be completed in six weeks? It can sometimes take me two weeks to read a longer book.

I've changed it to eight weeks. That would be 2 weeks for each book.

I would be interested, Jim. Would the reviews be posted both on Goodreads and Amazon? I think changing to 8 weeks is a good idea. I would provide a .mobi file of my book Down Dog Diary, which you have already reviewed.

Yes, I think the reviews should be posted to Amazon and Goodreads.

I'm promoting a book for an author here on Goodreads. So, that's 3 of us, we just need 2 more to get started.

Sherry, since I've reviewed your book already, I'll have him review yours.

Thanks!

I'm interested, I have a new release and would like it read/reviewed.

Great! We need one more author and we'll get started.

I'm interested! I write rom com as Gwen Ellery and historical fantasy as Imogen Bold.

I'm interested too. I write fantasy, science fiction and historical fantasy. Very interested in getting and giving reviews

Hi Jason, We have 5 authors, I'll add your name to the next group and when we get 4 more authors I'll notify everyone.
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Jim, much appreciated

I would love to be included. My books are on Smashwords and Amazon so no one will need to buy it if they don't want to. I'm a little concerned at 8 weeks to read 4 books, as I work full time, but I should manage it.

Okay, I'll add you to the next group.
Thanks!

J. I am blown away. Thank you for taking the time and thought to spend a few hours with Maya and me.

Hi Jim,

I would like to be added to the next group please :)

Okay D.M, I'll add your name.

We now have three authors for the next group, Jason, Tracey, and D.M. so we only need two more.

Hi Jim,

I am interested. My books are either Historical Fantasy or Historical Crime.

Thanks, Jim,

What happens now?

We have four authors for the next review group, Michele, Jason, Tracey, and D.M. We need one more for a group of five, but we can go ahead and start moving on with the four.

If you can send me an email with a .mobi attachment of your book, I'll send it out to everyone in the group to start reading. Please put "Goodreads review group" in the subject so I don't miss it.

When another author joins the group, I'll send their book too.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

my book is free to download today and tomorrow from Amazon. If you would prefer the MOBI just let me know.

Cheers

Review group 2,
Ive received an email with a review copy from Jason.

I have a coupon code for Tracey's book on SmashWords, but no email address.
