This thread is now open for you to join GROUP 98 by adding your GR (not Amazon) book link. We have 10 places � I’ll add your name as you sign in. We’ll aim to get started in just a few weeks so once you’ve signed in watch for a message that we’re ready to start.

When you add your book link it not only indicates you want to join the group � it indicates you AGREE that you are WILLING TO REVIEW ANY ALLOCATED BOOK within the set 12 week limit.
This is the �18+� group. You can enter any genre book in this group, but should be aware that they will predominantly be reviewing books with explicit sex (in all its possible combinations) and/or violence. If this subject matter offends you, please do not join this group.
There is no genre filtering.
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:
/topic/show/...
Do not sign up until you have completed all your reviews in another review round in the group.

Make sure you have an author profile set up before you join and that your book is available for sale on amazon (not pre-order).

Please let me know as you sign up if you have been reviewed by, or have reviewed another author in the group. It is permissible to review an author more than once if a different book is available, but reciprocal reviews within the group are strictly prohibited.
Your group moderator will be
Emma Jaye

Hello. I would like to join this group for reviews if thats alright? My book is not an 18+ but i dont mind reading ones that are. Is that allowed?

Link for 'Mark of a Witch's Slave' below

/book/show/2...

Thanks

Angeline Brown

Welcome aboard Kendi and Angeline.
And you're quite correct, your book doesn't have to include 18+ material but you have to be happy to read and review books with graphic 18+ content.

Thats great thanks Emma x

No problem, I'm not shy :)

Hi, Emma, I'd like to join with Fate's Arrow (Soulmates Book 2). It's a (quite explicit) MF contemporary erotic romance. 2nd book in a series but should be able to be read as a standalone. Acceptable to post the 2nd book in a series?

Fate's Arrow: Soulmates Book 2

I've reviewed Robin Peacock and Emma Jaye.

No one so far on the list has reviewed me.

That's fine Devi, you could send a brief synopsis of the first book if you feel it is necessary to understand the second, but in your case, I don't think its necessary.

Please add my book. Some sexual content. Here's a description:

� SILVER MEDAL, 2015 Global Ebook Awards (Autobiography/Memoir)
� 4 STARS, 2015 Wishing Shelf Book Awards

"Catch-22" was the first classic farce about American military life. "M*A*S*H," set later during the Korean War, continued that tradition. But few books have chronicled the behind-the-scenes absurdities of the Vietnam War.

In the tradition of "Sgt. Bilko" and "What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?" SAIGON TEASE follows the misadventures, narrow escapes, and anguish of an 18-year-old in Vietnam in 1967 as he awkwardly transitions from boy to man. But it differs from its predecessors in one significant way: the bizarre escapades in SAIGON TEASE are all true. And that 18-year-old was me.

SAIGON TEASE is not a diary from the front lines; it's a chronicle from behind the lines where the vast majority of Vietnam vets served. It's a saga of wonder and beauty and innocence and mischief set in exotic Southeast Asia during the pivotal war of our generation.

But perhaps the most significant thing about SAIGON TEASE is that these tales were not the exceptions; they were the norm for most men and women who went there. And that story has never been told.

Saigon Tease: So, What Did You Do in Nam, Dad?

Welcome aboard John.

Hi Emma,

I've just concluded my reviews for group 99, and would love to join with City on Clouds. Charlie B. has already reviewed it, but I would appreciate her take on A Parallel Path.

/book/show/1...

Welcome aboard Marco, I'm not sure yet if you'll end up reviewing Charlie, but he's a him, not a her.

I'll get the order sorted out ASAP.

Oops, sorry Charlie, guess your picture confused me. In any case, if I understand correctly, Charlie can review me again, but I can't review him.

Hey Marco, I think you'll find its the other way around, I cant review your book twice.

As for my piccy, its better than my own mug shot, lol

I'd love to review a book of yours Charlie, but reciprocal reviews are not permitted here. You can review another book of mine though.
I have to do something about my pic too - I don't sell used cars...

Howdy,

I'm brand new to this, so forgive my newbie questions. It looks like this round is full, yeah? Or do the groups go beyond 10? I have my first horror book out as an Amazon ebook and have been looking to find ways of getting reviews and of joining reading and reviewing communities.

If it is indeed closed, would a new group form in the near future? Thanks much.

the group is now full, seems like theres around 5 weeks to each new one starting. you could go for a one for one review in the meantime though.

Hi Karl,
I start new groups when we have mods available, so sometimes we have a clutch together, sometimes we don't. I've had a busy weekend, but I'll get to setting up the order for this one later today.

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 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. Everyone must be able to accept PDF. 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.

When you have posted your reviews, please post the three links to your reviews 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.

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).

Happy reviewing, everyone :)

Devi and John, I've downloaded your books on KU. Felicite, contact email sent. Angeline and Kendi, will contact you anon. thanks people Charlie.

Folks, as I said in the set up message, this is an open forum, putting your emails on it could be asking for trouble.
Use the goodreads 'private message' system by going to the author's page and clicking on the box under their profile picture. You should get an option to 'send message'.

Quick question: If I haven't yet received the second round book yet, can I start on the third round?

You can do the books in any order you like, as long as all are done by the end of the group.
I do advise sending the author a reminder though.

I have. I will skip on to the next book. Thank you!

Thank you Felicite, I tear up every time I read that bit too, did so as I wrote it as well.
I choose the cover pictures, my cover designer does the rest.
Charlie.

to my three other reviewers, please pm me when you want a file copy- thanks.

Sarah, Charlie and Kendi. Please send your books to me in any format to

I already have Felicity's book.
Many thanks.
