Hey Stephanie, I haven't gotten a copy of your book yet for round one. I've sent you a couple messages, complete with my email address :) Could I get a version please?

Hey, M.A.

If you haven't heard back from Stephanie, you can start with another round book and Stephanie's will be delayed.

Reminder for everyone, the reading order is preferred/suggested but not a must. Following it gives each of us a review with each round which is nice.

Also, make sure you get your book to all your readers asap. Some read a lot faster than others.

As long as all four books are read and reviewed by each person by the round deadline, everyone is happy.

Thanks.

My review for The Pacifists - thanks for a fun read!

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Amazon.co.uk is telling me the book 'is not available for review'. I've just reviewed another book without problem so I don't think it's me. I'll try again in a few days.

Thank you so much, Alex!

It's not you. I totally botched that and forgot to mention, if you leave your review on the paperback version it should work. I'm a noob at this and I tried to run it so I could both get reviews but also have presales. One more lesson learned the hard way, lol.

I'm working on updating those paragraphs. A bunch of them got muddled during the conversion process :)

Don't forget to shorten your Amazon URLs as mentioned in my message at the end of page 1. A good practice anyway when sharing your book links. :D

Thanks, Alex.

As Kevin says, please try the paperback version for leaving a review. Then pop the link on a new post here so I get a notification.

Cheers!

A quick note - esp for newbies.

You have 3 weeks to read each book, a total of 12 weeks for four books. Many people in these groups are FAST readers (I wish I could read that fast) and are done with all four very quickly.

Don't worry. Work at your own pace. I chase up stragglers at each round deadline, just so no one gets too behind, but as long as all four reviews are in by the end date we're good.

Keep me posted if you have any delays just so I know you are still participating.

Happy weekend everyone.

Trish

Thanks for those, Franca. I guess Amazon was fast this time!

FYI don't forget to shorten the URL as per my previous message. It's really a good practice for sharing your book links and so on anyway!

I read Halving It All by Stephanie McPeak Petersen.

Goodreads review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Amazon review: honestly, I've waited at least a day and it hasn't been published yet. I've rated it on Amazon.com AND Amazon.ca to see if it'll post faster.

Thank you so much M.A. for the review!

Also, thank you to RJG for her review! I don't think there's a link to that here on the thread, but the review has been posted, and many thanks from me! (Y'all are fast readers! I'm hoping to have my first review completed sometime in the next week.)

There is no rhyme or reason to when Zon decides to approve these things. I'm sure it will pop up soon.

No worries, Stephanie. RJG will post the link for me when ready. I keep a record of all the ones posted so I know where we're at.

Yep some people read fast. Just you do you and post when you're ready. I'm modding another group that I'm also taking part in. EVERYONE has finished all four reviews apart from me! I have one left (sorry Gene - lol).

Thanks.

Trish

Hi, Stephanie! You're welcome! It was a great book! I'll put the links up here once it posts on Amazon too. I hate that Amazon delays it by a few days. :-P

I have my reviews for The Soldiers' Perspective. I swear, Amazon approves these in either 15 minutes or 71 hours and 45 minutes, but never anything in between :)
