Genre Specific Review Groups discussion

In joining this review group you have agreed to review the novels assigned to you on a two month schedule. This group is now in the review phase and is no longer open for sign up.

Dystopia/Post-Apocalyptic Review Group. As with other review groups, you will be expected to read and give an honest review of the books assigned to you. Assignments will be made after the group sign-up has filled.

Participants are expected to post reviews to Goodreads. The review should be posted to Amazon (US and UK) as well, if the book is available there. This makes having accounts with both Goodreads and Amazon.com a requirement.

Contact the authors you are scheduled to review to arrange to receive a review copy of their work. Note that Amazon has made a minor change in how reviews are displayed. As long as a review that is not verified as a purchase is recent, it will be displayed on the book's Amazon page. Once it rolls off, it will still be counted in the ranking of the book, but the link to show more reviews has been modified by Amazon to show only reviews that come from verified purchases. Authors may consider gifting their book to assigned reviewers so that they will qualify as verified purchases. Reviewers may bypass this limitation by offering to purchase the books assigned to them. All of this is voluntary. Authors may still provide review copies for free, and reviewers can still post reviews to Amazon that are not from a verified purchase. This change in Amazon policy has no effect on Goodreads.

Please post to this topic, both when you receive review copies and when you post the reviews.

If you are going to be late with your review, either post to this topic as soon as possible or message the author and the moderator.

If your book has not been reviewed by the deadline for either round, contact the review group moderator. This is necessary to make certain that the review process is fair for everyone.

Note that any participant who makes no effort to fulfill his or her commitment to this group will have all reviews of his or her work resulting from this group deleted and his or her membership in the Genre Specific Review Group will be terminated.

Okay, please sign me up with my new PA sci-fi, The X-Variant. Thanks very much!

Welcome on board Rosemary =).

Sing me up with my book Godeena I read book of L.N. and M.J. read my book :)

Next round, let me know if a novel about future working right for everyone but the main character is dystopian enough to belong. Thanks.

This round is now closed. We have 6 members. Sorry Jeffery. These rounds are pretty frequent...so keep an eye out.

This round is now a go...enjoy people!

Chris, I've picked a copy of your book. I think it makes sense to buy copies of each other's books, especially if they are reasinsably priced. Thanks, David.

Thanks David. I will pick up a copy of the books I am assigned.

Stjepan, let me know if you want me to send you a copy of Hunting Season.

Hi!
I'm new to this group, wonder if I got this correctly :) But I'd like to review David's Demorn: Soul fighter. I can pick it up from Amazon and post the review there as well as here. M.

Awesome! Thank you Maikku!

Um! Unfortunately, this is a review round. You need to PM David.

It's really no problem Maikku. Just grab a copy on Amazon and enjoy! Message me of course if you need or would like too. I never turn away readers! :)

4 days left to get your first round reviews done. Just thought i'd let you all know =).

Getting tight without any reply from the author.

Jeffery! Good job you're not in this group then, isn't it =D?

L.N. wrote: "Jeffery! Good job you're not in this group then, isn't it =D?"

Oh. How'd I get left out?

You are in another group...not this one. You never asked to join this one =).

Sorry I was taking my time with this. Just posted my Amazon.com review of the X-Variant. Will post the link when it is approved by the Zon. Heading to Amazon.co.uk and here next.

Oh. I thought I had. I thought I'd asked if anyone would enjoy reviewing a future that was dystopian mainly for the person who was accidentally sucked into it. If anyone would like doing that, please consider mine for the next go-around. Thanks.

I just posted my reviews for Rosemary Cole's The X-Variant on Goodreads, Amazon, and Amazon.uk.

Terrific book, Rosemary!

Philip, I am working on your book and review right now - sorry I'm running late... I had my two reading assignments flip-flopped!
