Goodreads' Author Group discussion

I thought it would be a great idea for us to share our work with each other. I am thinking we can place one of our titles here, and have a certain number of people read it ... this could ensure that each author has fellow authors reading and reviewing their work at the same time.

I will create polls, say, every 30 members and we will read the same book in groups of, say, 3?

Please help me to come up with ideas that work. I may have created the group, but we are all equal members of the group and I know a lot of you will have great suggestions.

If you are interested in helping to moderate the group, please let me know!

Great idea! The title I wish to place here is

Looking forward to reading the works of other members!

Hi, everyone. While I'm working on some editing projects and getting out the next batches in my "Pocketful of Stories" series, I'm also celebrating the 10th anniversary of In The Eye of The Beholder: A Novel of The Phantom of the Opera
I hope you will consider having a look!

Hello everyone, here is part 1 prequel of a 2 part prequel to my upcoming book series.

This is an awesome idea. I definitely want to take time to read everyone's work!

Thank you, everyone! Can you please add your books to the bookshelf as well?

I am hoping to have selections uploaded within the next couple of weeks, and I will create a poll for everyone to vote on which book they would like to read and review.

:)

Hi everyone!
I would love to share my latest book with you!
Looking forward to reading your books as well:-)

Great, thank you Effie! I am looking forward to reading your books!

Me too! Nice to be included in this group. I will warn that I don't read quickly because I have too many balls in the air, but I always leave an honest review on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub and audible if applicable.

It is nice to have you in the group, Effie!

I completely understand about being a master juggler without being in the circus! Haha! So, certainly no worries on how quickly you are able to read and post reviews as it is simply wonderful having you join in when you can!

Hi! Just joined this group. I'd like to share The Sorcerer's Bane
It's the first book in my Christian Epic Fantasy, four-book series, The Seven Words. I leave reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. If anyone has already read the Sorcerer's Bane, that person is welcome to read any of the other books in the series.

Welcome, C.S. thank you so much for joining us! I am looking forward to reading your book, and to you joining in on the reading and reviewing of other authors' books!

I will add your book to the bookshelf, and please take a look at it and connect with authors of books you are interested in reading.

Thank you! I will check out the shelf.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the invite. Looks like a fun group. I posted my book, The Bahawre Legend, to the fantasy section. Are we trying to do direct swaps or should I just pick a book from the group to read/review?

P.S. Yes, I will be setting up another poll on the 1st of June to run until the 15th.

Hi,

Would like someone to read my new YA novel Infamous 1

Do I also post in the YA thread?

Not 100% sure what I'm doing/how this works but I'll try to figure it out!

The Mystery of Her: Book 1 in the Zane Brothers Detective Series
Hi All,
I thought when I added one of my historical mystery intrigue novels to the Bookshelf that was considered a swap...but I guess not. I am adding here.
Thanks.

Good day, Patricia,

I am very sorry to have missed your novel as I did not see it on the bookshelf. I am happy to see it, and will certainly add it to the current polls.
