Self-Published Only Club discussion

In April we'll be doing things a little different. Instead of having a genre poll, we will just have a book poll. All the books will be from authors in the group. I want to make sure at some point, our authors have the opportunity to get their books read by the group.

Here's how it will work:

*If you are an author, with a self-published book, and are a member of this group, and you want your book to be considered, you'll need to tag your book in this thread.
*If we have already read one of your books, please let others have a chance.
*Please only tag one book
*If we have more than six entries, I'll use a random generator app to select six, saving the others for a future poll.
*Once we have a minimum of 5, max of 6, I'll create a poll and everyone can vote for their favorite.
*The winning book will be our April BOTM.
*Those that didn't get selected will remain on our bookshelf, and may still be included in future polls.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you, Abby.

May I put forward

Thanks Abby,
Would love to have my book put forward.

Hi, Abby!

I've already attempted to contact you a couple of times, regarding having one of my books be featured and read by our group. On this note, please allow me to introduce my latest work...



EDIT: I think I can now show an image of my book...Cheers!

Hi,

I’m new to the group, what a great group it is! Can I put my first book in the Lottie Jones series into the mix?

Hi, use the add book/author bit at the top of the reply box and choose cover instead of link.

Great Idea! Thank you, Abby!

Thank you, T.A.! You're a true hero and life-saver. Let's support each other! ^_^

I'd like my first novel added to the poll, please. The Mathews Family

These are all great entries. I'm excited there's so much participation!

Hi Abby,
When will the poll be up?
thanks

Hey everyone, so I'm going to leave submissions open until the 15th. That way we are sure everyone had a chance to submit their book in the thread.

After that, if we have more than 6 submissions, I'll use a random generator to narrow it down to 6. Then the poll will go up on the weekend of the 19th.

As of now we have 6 submissions. If it stays that way, all 6 will be on the poll. 😉

I would like to put my book up for consideration: A Fairy Awesome Story assuming adult reverse harem is acceptable. If not, I totally understand.

I'd like to put this one forward. It's a short and the next book releases this year in July:

Scratch that, I didn't realize the group had already read one of my books. Sorry.

Ellie wrote: "Scratch that, I didn't realize the group had already read one of my books. Sorry."

Yes we did, the whole series actually. It got some really great feedback.

Hi, I would love my book to be considered. Its a romance/suspense.

A Heart's Salvation

Thanks
Dana Christy

Hello again! I would love to put my book for your consideration. It is a dark poetry collection.

My Dawn Is Only Five Hours Away

Thank you!

Today is the last day to enter your book for consideration for the April BOTM.

Since we already have more than 6, I will be entering all in a random generator to narrow it down to 6. But since that means there are several that won't make it on the poll. We'll do this again this summer, maybe June?

I'll keep everyone posted!

Don't forget, authors, the best way to ensure your book gets more reviews from the group, is for us to have more members. So, on the top right of the groups homepage, click on invite members, and then click all, then invite. Let's get those numbers up!

Have invited 74...

Hey Ellie, I'm happy you joined the group. I found A Fairy Awesome Story to be an extremely fun read. Now I have to play catch up with the remainder of the series.

Hi there,

I'm delighted to have been invited to this group. It consistently astounds me the community spirit on goodreads so thank you.

Here's my book for consideration..

The Super Twins

It's a Wishing Shelf book award finalist. I'm releasing the sequel in a few weeks, exciting times!

Any news on this yet..?x

Hi Andy, the deadline for submissions was on the 15th, but it seems a lot were excited about this idea, so we'll do it again this summer. Be sure to check back for details.

These are the books that were submitted prior to the March 15th deadline:

One Dark Night

Reasonable Lies

Secrets of the Past

LOTTIE JONES AND THE MAGICAL REALMS: DRAGORON

The Gap

The Mathews Family

War of the Twin Swords

A Heart's Salvation

My Dawn Is Only Five Hours Away

There were 9 books submitted prior to the march 15th deadline. Today, I'll enter them in a random generator app, so we can narrow it down to 6 choices.

Alright everyone, using a random generator app, I narrowed our 9 choices down to 6. To those of you that did not get selected, don't worry, we will do this again this summer, and that's assuming your book isn't selected the normal way during a genre month.

Here are the 6 choices:

One Dark Night

Reasonable Lies

LOTTIE JONES AND THE MAGICAL REALMS: DRAGORON

The Mathews Family

War of the Twin Swords

My Dawn Is Only Five Hours Away

All 6 of these books are on our bookshelf, but I'll be working to move them to a new shelf titled, April BOTM. That way they are all easy to find, in case you want to read the synopsis before voting.

Our poll will be up later today, so be sure to vote. It will be open until the 26th.

Remember authors, reviews help, so even if your book isn't selected, we ask that you still read the chosen book, and leave a review. Your support will absolutely be returned!

Hello! I'm new here. I'm not an author and wanted to share that this book poll is a great idea, any book related poll is a good idea. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on all 6 of these books, they all sound good. I've no preferences and I read, try and read everything, I can get my hands on concerning books. If anyone has recommendations in the future, you're welcome to send them my way. Catch you later!

Hi Kiandra, so glad you joined us. I try to post free books or kindle countdown deals when I come across them in the book offers thread, so that's a good place to look for recommendations. Also check out our bookshelf. There are tons of really good books in there.

Right now, I'm reading book #4 in A Fairy Awesome Series. Books 1 through 3 have already released, and I highly recommend the series. A Fairy Awesome Story

Yay! That's great to hear!

T.A. wrote: "Hi Abby,

Tomorrow, (or maybe today) I'll link the book here for everyone to access easily. Our members will then read the book at their own pace throughout the month of April, and leave the links to their reviews on this feed.

You don't need to offer free copies to the readers, because we want to support you, and downloading or purchasing is part of that.

Congratulations. I can't wait to read your work!

Reasonable Lies this is our April BOTM. You have all month to read, and then be sure to post links to your reviews right here.

Congratulations T.A!

Thanks Abby! Looks like a good read but I didn't vote for it because it is 655 pages and I can't commit that kind of time in April. Count me in for the next book at or around 300 pages.

That’s the ebook length.

The actual book is 342 pages
