I think we definitely need a service kind of like this for authors and readers to exchange books and reviews (I haven't really found any yet)

I have quite a few review requests to finish at the moment, so I can't review your book right now, but I might be able to review it in a month or so.
Do you have an excerpt you can post to the Reading Nook here in the group? It might help to generate interest or reviews.

The Reading Nook is a group folder, with two topics. It should be showing after the Readers folder. As soon as I get my review backlog cleared, I'll be considering new books for review and I'll keep you in mind.

Just to let everyone know; I have review spots open in April (and subsequent months of course) if anyone wants a review. You can check out my review guidelines here:

I checked out your review guidelines and will probably request a review once Amazon has approved my submission. I submitted my novel, Belvoir, yesterday. Hopefully, I'll know by the beginning of the week.

My novel, Down a Lost Road, is a YA fantasy that melds a portal story with the myth of Atlantis.
If anyone is interested, send me a message and I can either gift you a Kindle version (if you send your email address) or send you a 100% off coupon code for Smashwords.
I totally agree with Marc. Good, honest reviews are much preferable to thoughtless glorification, which I think most readers tend to ignore anyway.
Thanks!

Marc, I would exchange reviews, but not sure if mine is dark enough for you, and it's YA. The book I'm finishing is a little darker, but not ready yet. Let me know if interested.

I fist want to say how great it is to have people who are willing to do reviews. I have a short fantasy story called The Seamstresses

“The Seamstresses� is a short story about what truly holds a relationship together and what tears it apart, and the magic that is caught somewhere in between.
When Yin opens her eyes after her death, she is in her grandmother’s seamstress shop she remembers as a child—but she is not alone. Her sister who died two years earlier is there to tell Yin about their true calling in this strange and wonderful place. But Yin’s sister is hiding something that will alter Yin’s view
of the living world forever.
thank you,

I might be willing to review it, but what sort of formats is the book available in? I don't have a Kindle, but I do review epub, PDF or paperback.

May I introduce my juvenile novel, Dancing on the Inside.
"Ever since her grandparents gave her a DVD of Swan Lake, twelve-year old Jenny Spark has wanted to be a dancer. But on her first day of ballet class, she suffers a panic attack and makes a horrifying discovery. She’s terrified of dancing in front of the other kids, and as for actually performing for an audience? Forget it.
"Yet Jenny refuses to give up her dream. With determination and a little ingenuity, she finds ways to observe ballet classes without actually participating. She trains in the safety of her room, while hiding the truth from her parents. Then Jenny meets her exact opposite: Ara Reyes, an outgoing, spontaneous, and accident-prone girl who loves dancing but has always been overlooked.
"The girls� friendship blossoms as they help each other uncover their real talents. Ara’s dancing takes a leap forward and Jenny discovers she has an amazing gift for choreography. With the support of the school’s newest teacher, Jenny’s original ballet might just make it on stage � but will she?"
Interested reviewers can email me at [email protected] for a PDF or print copy.

Big Backpack--Little World is available on Amazon if you'd like to check it out.
Thanks in advance.

I don't mean to be off-putting at all, but I just don't read memoirs at all. I have very little actual reading time with the book out now and another in final edits, so I wouldn't be able to reciprocate on a swap.

My brand new just published yesterday book:
DISCONTENTS

Synopsis:
Emory Walden is a talented writer at odds with the corporate America of his twenty-something peers. He can’t remember how he ended up hospitalized needing a risky surgery to save his life. Someone tried to kill him.
He suspects his involvement with the enigmatic Fletcher Spivey in a plot to spark a political uprising in the U.S. has been infiltrated. But he’s not sure who the nebulous adversary is.
If he can uncover the infiltrator before the surgery, he can find out who wants him dead and warn Spivey in time to save the movement. But the deeper he digs, the less certain he is that anything is as it seems.
You can learn more about the book and see a scan of the original letter Emory sent me at DiscontentsBook.com if you feel like it.
thanks for your time and consideration!

I'm looking for anyone interested in reviewing my fantasy book, Ruined City. I can provide a free e-copy in various formats from Smashwords.
The style of the book is a bit different, with the narrative written as twelve interconnecting stories.

On a bright winter’s day a stranger arrives in Elowen, bearing a secret. From this man a dark blight of ruin descends over the great city and this day becomes known as Winter’s Bane.
The day the world changed for the people of Elowen.
The day their existence turned into a recurring nightmare.
Read of the aftermath of revenge through the eyes of a shopkeeper, a child, ghosts, a blacksmith, a guardsman, an innkeeper, and even a King.
Twelve Stories, One Evil.

My son James Morcan and I have co-authored two new release novels we seek reviews for. Both have already appeared on Amazon’s bestseller lists in their respective ebook kindle categories.
One of these, an international thriller titled The Ninth Orphan, recently held the #1 ranking for one full week. In December, it was at #3 on Amazon’s ‘Movers & Shakers� site for the biggest gainers for all books in its Kindle Store in the previous 24hrs.
How do you catch a man who is never the same man twice? That is the question posed in The Ninth Orphan...
An orphan grows up to become an assassin for a highly secretive organization. When he tries to break free and live a normal life, he is hunted by his mentor and father figure, and by a female orphan he spent his childhood with. On the run, the mysterious man's life becomes entwined with his beautiful French-African hostage and a shocking past riddled with the darkest of conspiracies is revealed.
Our second book, a historical adventure-romance titled Fiji, is set in 19th Century Fiji. It is “a spellbinding novel of adventure, cultural misunderstandings, religious conflict and sexual tension set in one of the most exotic and isolated places on earth�.
In the mid-1800's, Fiji was a melting pot of cannibals, warring native tribes, sailors, traders, prostitutes, escaped convicts and all manner of foreign undesirables. It's in this hostile environment in our story that an innocent young Englishwoman and a worldly American adventurer find themselves. Despite their differences, there’s an undeniable chemistry between them. When their lives are suddenly endangered by marauding cannibals, they are forced to rely on each other for their very survival.
Let me know if you are interested in reviewing either, or both, of these predominantly 5-star reviewed novels. If you are, and are willing to post your reviews on Amazon, Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ (and anywhere else you see fit), I’ll be happy to email the downloadable ebook version to you.

More reviews are sought for this mainly 5 Star-reviewed novel.
This international thriller is FREE for Kindle readers now to March 19 PST.

Baxter, your book sounds interesting but your Smashwords link isn't leading anywhere.

I'd like to throw my book in the hat, as well. Tell A Thousand Lies was shortlisted for the 2012 Tibor Jones South Asia prize. My reviews have been very strong.
Sample review:
What an unexpected treat this novel turned out to be. From the first page, I was transported to India in the 1980s, a world where skin colour is everything and girls are brought up to be suitable wives. The dry, witty narrative gave me an instant connection with the heroine Pullamma, feisty and a little wild, but ultimately longing to be loved for herself. She will break your heart, have you laughing out loud, and take you on an emotion journey you will never forget. � Jessica Chambers, author Dark Is The Sky
If you're willing and able to review, I'd be happy to generate an ebook in the format of your choice.
Best,
Rasana
