Review Group discussion

I'd like to join with my book 'Called to Account'. I have already reviewed 'The Mule spinner's Daughter' for GJ.
This is me: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
And this is my book: https://tslbooks.uk/product/called-to...

Frank, I don't see that book listed on Goodreads. On Amazon, I see only the paperback copy listed. Is it currently in pre-order?

Hi Kat, no clashes so far. I see no past interactions on my end with Gita or Ono, either.

Firstly, thanks Kat for having a bash at the fun sudoku of organising the lists!

Welcome to Audrey, Hock and Gita

Philip - I regret I can't see a way to fit you in the round.
Ono - I have checked with the mod of your last round and you have yet to post all your reviews from that so I can't accept you into this one.

Everyone in the round please post to tell me if you have reviewed any of the four people above you on the list (the list wraps around so 10 is 'above 1). Please also check that if you have already reviewed any of the four people 'below' you on the list they have more books available that you have not yet reviewed and post to tell me if they have not.

You can check if you have reviewed anyone before by going to your reviews, clicking the 'Author' heading to get them in alphabetical author order, and then checking through to see. You can check if someone has reviewed you in the same way through their profile.

If you have no negative clashes, then post to say you are good to go!

Hi Kat. I've just added the book to Goodreads - you should be able to see it soon! The e-book is available from Lulu: https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/frank...

Frank, I'm sorry but it looks like the round is full at this time. Please check back for new rounds as they are always forming. There is also the one-for-one list in the meantime if you're interested.

Good to go.

OOooops! Okies. Hold fire please good people.

Gita - sorry, I missed your post about clashing with GJ and Daine and I can't fit you in with them.

Frank - can't fit you in either.

We need one more and whoever that is needs to fit into the one free slot left. Please check that you do before you sign up.

Hi EM,

Kat recommended I submit to this round, though it may have refilled in the meantime? I'd love to join with The Pacifists, if you'll have me. I have no conflicts.

If not, I'll try again next time around. Thanks!

Kevin Carlin

I have checked shelves. Kevin has no clashes.

Welcome Kevin!

OK - let's try the final check one more time - so please post to tell me if you have reviewed any of the four people above you on the list (the list wraps around so 10 is 'above 1). Please also check that if you have already reviewed any of the four people 'below' you on the list they have more books available that you have not yet reviewed and post to tell me if they have not.

You can check if you have reviewed anyone before by going to your reviews, clicking the 'Author' heading to get them in alphabetical author order, and then checking through to see. You can check if someone has reviewed you in the same way through their profile.

If you are good to go, please post to say that you are :)

No problem. Happy reading, Everyone!

I'm good to go.

G.J. Griffiths do you have another book I can read? Looks like there’s only a book from the 1970s linked to the one you have brought to the round.

Still good. :)

I'm good to go :)

The most recent order works for me.

Ok, form me, no clash :)

I'm pretty sure I don't have a clash with Kevin, thanks.

I have reviewed Trouble at Clenchers Mill. Diana, which of your other books would you prefer I review? Otherwise, I'm OK with the list as it is now.

J.E. has reviewed this book but not others in this series. I believe Gita, Hock, Stjepan and P.M.F. have reviewed other books of mine but not this one. I hope this helps.

G.J. wrote: "J.E. has reviewed this book but not others in this series. I believe Gita, Hock, Stjepan and P.M.F. have reviewed other books of mine but not this one. I hope this helps."

To me, it looks like the current order would work? Gita is going into the new general group rather than this one. The other people you mentioned are set to review you again. Stjepan is in your blind spot. You and JE can work out between yourselves which book you'd like her to review this round. 😊

I did reply today but my message seems to have vanished?! It was basically a repeat of my message 11 above.
However, long story cut short... As far as I can see, in the list at Message 46, only J. E. has read my book.
Thanks.

Diana wrote: "Alexis wrote: "Diana, could I do Trouble at Fatting House, or is there another book you'd prefer I read?"
Hi Alexis, I'm happy for you to read Trouble at Fatting House."

I could read that one too, since I read your other 'Trouble at...'

G.J. wrote: "I did reply today but my message seems to have vanished?! It was basically a repeat of my message 11 above.

Hi GJ! I think your message is there at #71. You and JE can work out between the two of you whichever alternative book you'd like for her to read. It looks like you have plenty of titles for her to choose from.

I too have read Trouble at Clencher's Mill, so I will need another book to review. Haven't read ...Fatting House, for instance. ;->

Seeing as nine people have said they are good to go and debate is only around which alternative books to offer/read, I'll kick this round off...

Please remember the commitment you are making to your fellow group members. 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 reads/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 readers in a format the reviewer can manage. Everyone must be able to provide and accept PDF. You may buy or borrow the books you are due to read if you wish, and I’m sure the author will appreciate the verified review, but IT IS NOT COMPULSORY. 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 to GR. We also encourage members to post on Amazon. When you have posted your reviews, please post the links to each of your reviews, not the book page in this thread.
The mod of each round will record whether members have posted reviews on Amazon and for the good of all, members who persistently fail to post reviews or DNF reviews to Amazon, will find mods less than willing to add them to subsequent groups.

Postings to 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.

To exchange book files, my advice is to use PM to give email addresses to each other (save the chance of spammers getting your addies from this open forum).

Setting up and modding these rounds is a labour of love, with a lot of emphasis on the ‘labour’. If you want to show appreciation for all the hard work we admins put in for the group, you could download one of our books as a ‘thank you’.

Happy reviewing, everyone :)

Please read this especially if you are new to these review rounds.

Quick 'start-up' summary for anyone new who might be scratching their heads. You are reviewing the four books 'below' you on the list.

If you can, please choose to buy some or all of the books - or read the books on KU, if you are a subscriber and the books are available there. If you can buy it adds weight to your review as it gives the 'Verified Purchase' stamp on Amazon. If you are obtaining your books direct from Amazon either through purchase or KU please post to say so.

However, as not everyone can buy, you should PM the four people who will be reviewing you (the four above you on the original list of names) through their Goodreads author pages. Click on the down arrow beside the 'Follow Author' button under their picture and it opens a menu which will allow you to message them.

Ask what kind of file they would like or say you can only offer PDF, though unless a publisher uploaded it for you, you can always download a .mobi of your own book from Amazon.

Don't forget to ask where to send it so they can give you their email.

The four people who you are reviewing should be in touch with you in a similar way or post on the thread to say they are getting your book directly from Amazon.

Please make sure you have exchanged ALL FOUR books - or have been assured by your reviewers they will buy your book or read it through KU - as soon as possible. Some people read fast and it can be very frustrating to have to wait a long time to get hold of a book you are committed to review.
Don't forget to post the links to your reviews here so you can be signed off for them.

Please post your review to Goodreads, your own Amazon store and any other Amazon stores you might have access to as well.

Kat Kinney is modding this round so PM her with any issues ongoing please.

And we're off! Please let me know if I can help with any questions (feel free to send me a PM or ask in the thread) and happy reading!) 😊

If there's still an opening, I've re-posted the reviews in the last group. (apparently amazon took one down)

Hi Ono! This group has already gotten started. If you write YA or children's books, then it looks like that group may still have one spot still open. Otherwise new rounds will be opening soon so keep checking back, and there's also always the one for one list in the meantime.

Thank you Kat Kinney and you're welcome P.M.F. Johnson ! :)
