Thank you Ann.

Dorothy wrote: "Sure Kat! Sorry I forgot."

So now... (and to be fair, Goodreads has been acting funky for a few days), it appears to me as if there is only a rating for Lynn's book, but no review, whereas before there was a review but no rating. Can you please go in and see if you can assign both a review and a rating?

What you have for Janet's book appears fine :)

Here is my Goodreads review of the Ancient Egypt Activity Book by Scott Peters. The Amazon review hasn't gone through yet. As soon as it does, I'll post it.

This is so strange. I fixed it. Hopefully, it works this time.

Hi Dorothy!

So now... your review remarks are entered as a "comment" on a blank review, the problem with that being if someone just looks at Lynn's book page, all they'll see is a rating (they'd have to click a bit to discover you'd written anything at all.) Can you go back in and enter your remarks in the section where it says "what did you think?" All the other reviews you've submitted for the round have been done perfectly. 😊

OMG! I swear I know how to do this. I don't know what is happening. Lol. I think I fixed it this time.

Just edited in the last of my reviews - that's me done for this round! Thanks to everyone for making it happen and Kat for her great work as mod :)

Thank you, EM and Ann! See you both in a future round :)

Thanks, EM. So happy that you liked the book! I know Nine Short Chapter Books isn't the best title but that is the best I could come up with! Please pm if you have any suggestions! And thanks for the lovely review!

Even something as simple as Nine Tales of Magic and Wonder
or Nine Tales of Wonder would work well, IMO.

Hi everyone! Just a quick reminder that first round reviews should please be submitted as today is our first deadline :)

Hello everyone! Sorry for my late interaction, I was sick last week.
Here's my review of Sarah Mesinga's Shimmerdark: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I will update the Amazon link once it's approved.

Thanks, Tim! And yes, if you could please post the Amz link in a separate post as soon as you have it so I don't have to hunt it down in the thread, that would be super :).

Speaking of Amz links, I also need them from Gita and Janet whenever they go through, thank you!

Thank you for the review, Tim! Hope you are feeling better.

I'm unable to post the review for Ancient Egypt Activity Book on amazon. My account is on amazon india and this book, being a paperback, is not listed on it.

An unforeseen issue this. Sadly not much you can do until paperbacks from KDP become available in India. Thank you for trying.

Tim, Please check your inbox. I've messaged twice requesting a copy of your book. I've given my email id in the message. Please send a PDF/mobi /ePub as soon as you can. Thanks.

Tim, please send copies of your book to every person in the round who is supposed to read you. We're now more than three weeks into the round, new rounds have opened that people may wish to sign up for and if they are being held back because they cannot complete this round due to you not getting a copy of your book to them in a timely manner, that is unfair.

I'll check with the author if there is someplace else where I can leave a review. Reviews are so difficult to get, especially on amazon, so feeling bad about amazon's policy. Until a few years ago, it was possible to leave reviews on multiple amazon stores.
