I'm not going to take the time to comment on 26 other reviews if no one takes the time to comment on mine. Sorry, I just had to bring this to everyone's attention so we play fair.

Hi, Shirley Ann. I feel your disappointment. So I hope to cheer you up by telling you that I just finished reading and replying to your review! I would encourage you to post the link to your review and ask everyone to read it and reply to it. But you are right, if you left replies for other people's reviews they should pay you the same courtesy. I am sure you will get responses. Have a nice evening.

Give it time; I am sure everyone will share their comments once we all become familiar with this properly. In the meantime, I have also commented on your amazing review!

The R-5 is so clever!

Hi everyone. There may be some confusion when you comment on a review other reviewers look at your last review that is under your comment and may comment there. If they find their comment, they might think they already commented on your review.
Others will most likely not look for your previous reviews, but rather the most recent review. My advice is if there is a previous review of yours that you would like the group to comment on, it is better, as Gerry said, to share the link to this review.
This will be more easy and reachable to others.

I want to thank everyone for their contributions, so far, to our young reviewer group, The R-5. Please don't be shy to leave the links to your reviews on this forum accompanied by the title of the book. Remember to reply to other's reviews if they have replied to yours.

Prior to replying to someone's review, it is advisable to click on the quotation marks " of their review, and then write the reply. That way they will recieve a notification in private messages that you replied to their review.
Go R-5!! Have a nice day, everyone! Also, please read Sarah Zain's helpful comment above.

Hi, Shirley Ann. For some reason the link that you provided for your review, Sister Moon, did not work for me. However, I was able to access your review and reply to it by clicking on "latest review: Sister Moon" shown at the end of your post. Have a nice evening, and keep those reviews coming.

For those who are hoping to have people reply to past reviews as well as their most recent one, it will be easier for others to find your past reviews if you paste the link to your reviewer page and/or direct links to reviews that are not your most recent one. I have been working through our group list and attempting to reply to 3-4 previous reviews for each member in addition to their most recent one.

For anyone who hasn't already replied to some of my past reviews, here are the links to my reviewer page and to some of my past reviews.

I will try to reply back to several of your reviews as soon as I can! I don't check this website everyday, so there might be times when I take several days to return the favor

That's a good idea, Julie, thank you!

Here is my full reviewer page, if anyone wants quick access to it.
And here are a few of my older reviews that don't have that many replies yet: Sister B; Arko; An Interview With Failure; Alpha Buddies Land; Gawdzilla; Phobia Relief; Sent To Watch. Please don't feel obliged to reply to them, it's alright

I know that's a lot lol.

I'll keep posting links to my newest reviews once they get published!

Just like Julie, I don't always have time to reply to other reviews right away.
It sometimes takes me a few days, but I try my best to return every comment

I replied to your review of Swimming in a Sea of Stars. The other 3 reviews I had replied to previously. Here is an older review of(Niching Up) that you have not replied to yet. When you have the time, can you read and reply to it? Here is the link: viewtopic.php?f=114&t=404856 Thank you!

How's it going R-5 members? I noticed that many of you have increased the replies to your reviews and to those of others. Well done. Keep it going! I hope you are having fun. We share a passion of reading books and exchanging our views about books with each other. I am enjoying this. Thanks to all of you.

Things are going well. I'm working on my 95th review, so it might be a little overwhelming to go into my past reviews. It's okay. I'm not expecting anyone to do that. I'll go back into them and pick out my favorites. Keep reviewing!

95 reviews! You're a superhero! I went back and commented on some of your older reviews along with the most recent ones.
