Emma Jaye | 3693 comments This is a general group. 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.
There is no genre filtering.

If you are only willing to review your own preferred genres then sorry, but you’re better off finding a group that specialises in your preference, or joining one of the 18+ groups or a ‘clean’ review round. In this general group you might be asked to review fiction/non-fiction, adults’/children’s books, a religious text, BDSM, or anything in between. 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:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Your group moderator will be
Brenda Cheers

Please remember the commitment you are making to your fellow group members. If you don’t think you can manage to do 4 book reviews between these dates please let me know now. I will find someone else for this group and you will be able to choose a later group that will be more suitable for you. 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 .

When you have posted your review on GR please post a link to your review in this thread.

All reviews must be posted to GR, Amazon .com and Amazon.co.uk.

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.

My advice is to use PM to give email addresses to each other (stop spammers getting your addies from this open forum). I'll stay with you till your group mod Brenda over. Happy reviewing, everyone :)


message 19: by Brenda (new)

Brenda Cheers (brendacheers) | 366 comments Thanks, Emma.

Those whose books I'm reviewing--I've already sent PMs to you because I'll be traveling this week. Long flights are a great time to read books for review!

I've also send PMs to those who will be reviewing mine, as it is hard to pull files out of clouds, etc. while on the move.

Thanks for your co-operation, everyone. :-)

Manish Grover | 21 comments Hello Lance,

The "send message" on your profile is disabled. could you please message me with your amazon.com email address so I can send you a Kindle copy of my book.

Regards,

message 21: by J.H. (new)

J.H. Croix Hi Lance,

I ran into the same problem noted by Manish above - I can't send you a message. Could you please message me with your email address, so I can forward my book file to you? Thank you!

Same issue others are having. Please let me know how to reach you on the back channel to arrange delivery of your book to me.

message 23: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Reads & Reviews (lisareviews) Has GR changed the author profile to exclude private messages? I can's PM anyone to ask for email messages. I sent Helen a note through her website. Guess I could do the same for others.....


message 24: by Scott (new)

Scott Spotson (scottspotson) Look for the "Follow" button under the author photo on his or her profile. You will see a symbol like an arrow that you can click on. Then a drop-down menu will appear, and one of the options is "send message." Unless the author REALLY set it to private, but should work for most.

this book is original and has its own understanding of what so many choose to ignore in this world


message 35: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments Lou, this group is full.
If you wish to join a review group, wait for the next one to form. But be advised, you will be required to review other authors books in order to receive reviews yourself.


message 36: by Emma (new)

Emma Jaye | 3693 comments I've just heard from Lance, he has withdrawn from this group due to personal circumstances.

I will contact Lou to see if he wants to take the available spot.
