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 :) :gay-rainbow:

I noticed that you read and replied to A King Amongst Us, Phobia Relief, and Niching Up. Thank you!

Hi, folks. We started a new reviewer group. I took the liberty of calling it:
The R-5( Readers and Reviewers Reading and Replying to Reviews). New members are welcome. No AI please!!! Reciprocity is important. If someone replies to your review, it is courteous to reply to their latest review. Leave me a reply and I will private message you with the list of our members. Be part of the fun! :tiphat: :techie-studyinggray:

Something interesting has been happening to me, and I thought I would let you know so that you are aware. Let me know if you have run across this. The last couple of 100% scores that I got for my reviews made me very happy. Then they throw a second editor in, and, of course, they give you a lower score, so it brings your average down. It only seems to happen on the 100% scores.

Hi, Shirley Ann. I appreciate that you brought this up. However, I ask that you create a new topic to discuss this issue. I created the "New Reviewer Group: The R-5" so that we could share and reply to each other's reviews. I would like to limit it to just doing that. Otherwise, this thread will lose its focus on sharing and replying to each other's reviews. I am not saying there are no issues to discuss, but that this should be done in another topic thread in the forums or through private messages. That is my humble opinion. Thank you, Shirley Ann. Have a wonderful day. :tiphat:

Hi everyone :)

Here is the link to my latest review: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=358230
Ophelia is a thriller, I have rated it 4/5 stars.
This is actually one of my first reviews on OBC but it was still pending until now.

Thanks a lot to everyone who will take time to read it :gay-rainbow:

Hey everyone,
How are you all doing? Apologies for being a bit late here. I'm thrilled to see this group thriving and I'm excited to be a part of it. A big round of applause for Mr Gerry - his initiative has made room for the reviewers to get closer.

Hi Everyone
I'm wondering if you can help me with some older reviews that have had very few comments, despite the books being really good. Who knows you might find your next read:

Tropical Scandal: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=515120 - my vote for book of the year!
Involuntary Reroute: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=408562 - travel agents secrets
Fireproof Happiness: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=408545 - really great self-help book about hope
Cruise Ship Heist: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=369634 - action adventure oh the high seas. Somehow this review has had over 2300 views, yet only 4 comments.
Project Tau: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=350006 - this is a wonderful sci-fi story about a boy who's kidnapped by scientist and 'modified'.

Even if only a couple of people comment on one of these I'll be very grateful. Meanvhile I'm still working my way through your reviews and commenting on as many as I can.
Thanks
Stephen

Hey everyone, we're 26 strong now and do you want to know why this group is so cool? It helps us get one step closer to being level 6. In the past week, a couple of people in the group have gone and commented on some of my reviews. By doing that, my reviewer score has jumped up by another point.
Just think, if everyone in the group just commented on one review of each person, we'd all jump up another point. it's that easy.
Let's help each other out and read each others' reviews, who knows you may just find your next 'must read'.
