Review Group discussion

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:

Your group moderator will be

Hi Emma,

JH is scheduled to review a different book of mine in another group, so I can't review her.

Thanks,
Kathy

We keep ending up in the same groups...:) By the way, just posted my review of your book in the other group.

Been a while, but I'll jump back in this one time.

Up for suggestion is "Bridge Through Time," a sci-fi book of time travel and parallel universes.

Thanks.

Bridge Through Time

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 :)

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. :-)

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,
Manish

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!
:)

J.H. Croix

Hi Lance,

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.

Thanks,
Kathy

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.....

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.

I've messaged lance as he 'friended' me when he joined the group. He is active on goodreads, so hopefully this will work.

Yep it worked thanks Emma. (Still playing catchup at this end)!

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

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.

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.

Emma

Hi Emma,

I already posted my reviews of Lance's book, but it was a very short read and will be happy to take another book as a replacement. Here are the links to Lance's reviews:

Emma.

If Lou has not responded, should we open the Group up again in order to attract another member?

Good idea.

I'll be happy to step in.

Should I give my book link here or in a next round?

Wonderful, give your book link here and I'll add you. You will be taking Lance Morcan's place.

Welcome Sonal. Thanks for stepping in! :-)

As this group now has all the required members, I'll leave you in Brenda's more than capable hands.

Thanks, Emma.

Here is my first round review of Scott's 'Bridge Through Time'. It is interesting that two of us in this group have put forward time travel stories for review:

Good work, Scott.

Thanks Brenda, too bad I wasn't assigned yours! I may just get yours anyway, even if I'm not allowed to leave a review! I just love time travel books!
