Genre Specific Review Groups discussion

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

This is Non-Fiction Review Group 5. (This covers all forms of Non-Fiction works including Biographies and Memoirs.) 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 or, if the reviewer prefers to give the author a sale, purchase it.

Please post to this topic, both when you receive review copies and when you post the reviews. Authors may respond to reviews, but any form of harassment or anger directed at reviewers will be treated as a violation of the terms of service for this group.

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.

As long as a participant can complete the assignments, he or she can participate in multiple groups at one time.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... My review of Rachel Thompson's book. I also posted a review on Amazon. This is a lovely book for reading in the morning with that first cup of coffee.

I reviewed J P Wilson's other book, Through the Mind's Eye, as I have already reviewed the book listed here (J & I agreed to this scenario)

Goodreads review here, and Amazon review is still stuck in the cogs somewhere:

We have one uncompleted assignment. I have written to that participant and will close this group once this has been resolved.

An offer of an Alternate Reviewer has been extended to the author who has not received the second round review. This group will now be closed. Thank you to all the participants who completed their assignments.
