That sounds fair, Sonal. I have not heard anything from the author either. I sent him a message on Sept 21st.

Sacha, please returen Oskr Wyldkat's book to the review pool and allow Sonal to review Skinny Cappucino as requested since she has waited a week for the previous author to send her his book.

I will send the author (Alicia Kaye) a note with your request.

Hi, I see that "The Unaustralians" has been put back into the pool. I'll take it. It's available online, so no need to contact the author, I'll just read it on Smashwords.

Hi,

I'd like to take 'An Ordinary Angel, Faith' - I'll message the author.

Hi Kari, Is it possible for my two books to be re-added to the new pool? I have yet to receive a review, and I did read and reviewed my two.

Ju wrote: "Hi Kari, Is it possible for my two books to be re-added to the new pool? I have yet to receive a review, and I did read and reviewed my two."

Hi, Ju,

Going back to pool #37 I see you reviewed Sweet Release and requested your book Black Magic Man to be included in the pool. You then reviewed For the Love of Phantom and requested your book Elusive Highlander to be included.

J. posted a review of Elusive Highlander just a couple of days ago. And your book Black Magic Man was requested by Annie on 9/21 so she has at least until 10/21 to post a review according to the group rules.

If there were other reviews you've done prior to those I've listed please let me know and I'll look into it, but for the present, it looks like you're all square with reviews you've done vs # of listings of your books in the pool.

Again, please let me know if I've missed something.
