Goodreads Reviewers' Group discussion

Hi! My name is Jules, and I’m an avid reader and reviewer (you can check out my reviews on my profile). I love sharing honest thoughts and helping great books find more readers. If you're an author or publisher with a book you think I'd enjoy, I’d love to read and review it!! I’m especially into thrillers and romance, but I'm open to literally anything. I prefer physical copies (they’re easier for me to focus on!), but I do have a Kindle and can read digital too! Thanks!!

Hi Jules!
I have a psychological thriller that takes place in Hollywood - it's twisty and gripping and emotional, there's love, lust, betrayal and memory loss - would this be something of interest for you to review?

Hello Jules! I've been looking for someone kind as you to review my novel.

It's a heavy fiction with a lot of action, adventure, fighting, and some romance and mystery; however, I have just begun writing, so I'm not far. I've been publishing my novel chapter by chapter on multiple online sites. I have a decent amount written so far, but it's only a scratch compared to the full story.

This is one of the sites you can read my novel on, it's called Skyfall. Does this perhaps interest you to at least take a look and review?

By the way, I've been writing online and publishing online, so I dont' have a physical copy. Hopefully this isn't a big issue.

Hi - Sounds interesting! I'd be happy to read your book and review it.

Hi Jules,
If you’re interested in my book Letters to an Embryo, I’d be happy to send you a free copy.

Just wanted to check first if it’s something that might appeal to you, since it’s a memoir and not among the genres you listed above.

Warm regards,

Chairman of the Bored: A Cedric Bonhomie Adventure
Hi Jules,
I would love you to review my newly released comical adventure novel "Chairman of the Bored". Please let me know if you are interested and I will send you a free copy.
Many thanks,
Jethro

If you believe stories can be brutal and beautiful, you might be exactly who I’m writing for.
This is not a story of how the world ended. It’s about what parts of us refuse to.

I’m looking for a few brave ARC readers to dive into a post-apocalyptic novel where the real monsters aren’t always the ones who bite and the scariest thing left behind is memory.
This isn’t just another zombie story.
It’s about fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, sisters and brothers, the fragile threads that bind us when everything else comes undone. It’s about silence and sacrifice, and what it costs to stay human when the world forgets how.

If The Last of Us broke your heart and The Road left you speechless, this story sits right in that space between them. It’s raw, quiet, and full of the kind of moments that stay with you.

🖤 What You’ll Get:
📖 A free early copy of The One Who Refused to Feed before launch (June 6)
+ a free copy of Bed Bugs: Behind Every Perfect Life Lies a Perfect Lie
🧠 A front-row seat to a world falling apart and the people doing everything they can to hold on
💬 All I ask is an honest review (on Goodreads, Amazon, or just a quick note to me

You can reach out to me anytime with questions, thoughts, reactions, or just to say hi. I'm always around. I’m very loyal to my early readers and love keeping them close for the whole journey. You’re not just helping launch a book; you’re becoming part of the world it grows in.
This is Book One in a series and in this world, nothing stays dead for long.

Dear Jules,
I would greatly appreciate a review for 'Arising' - a character driven, epic fantasy novel. On Amazon at:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3LKR7M5
Here's a brief description:
In a peaceful treetop realm threatened by a powerful enemy, a daring young woman risks everything to save her people and unite divided clans. Laela, a spirited Treedle from the treetop realm of Aerizon, crosses forbidden borders into Mergonland enemy territory ruled by a brutal king.
There, she meets Prince Mateo, whose unexpected kindness sparks a powerful bond that defies generations of hatred.But unity comes at a cost. Captured, judged, and forced into palace servitude, Laela must draw on ancient prophecies, interplanetary allies, and her own rising spirit to become a leader of change.
Together with Mateo and a brave alliance of youth from both worlds, Laela fights to heal centuries of division and build a future rooted in justice and peace. Arising is an epic fantasy of resistance, renewal, and love that dares to ask: Can compassion rewrite destiny?
Glad to send you a free copy if you are interested!
Lisa

Hey Jules! I know this post was from a while ago, but I checked out your page and saw you were a fan of Harry Potter books and books like "Life of Pi." If that's the case, I think you might enjoy my paranormal comedy, which kind of parodies Harry Potter.



Playground 51: Episode 1

I've got a limited number of review copies available, so let me know if you want one. I'd be happy to send it over and to see what you think!

What if the fate of mankind hinged on a teenage boy… and his understanding of women?

In a post-apocalyptic society with no women and no violence, seventeen-year-old outcast Quinn is blamed for a crime he didn’t commit.
To prove his innocence, he must survive the Deadlands and enter Womansplainer, a bizarre VR game built to explain women. But someone doesn’t want him learning the truth.

A hilarious sci-fi adventure with absurd puzzles, monsters, and a questionable Gay radar. For fans of Ready Player One and The Hunger Games.

They called it a cure. They didn’t mention the genocide.
Seventeen-year-old Jackie knows the rules: if you test positive for the PX virus, you disappear. So when she fails her Wellness Check, there’s only one option.
Run.
Life Rite’s genetically engineered immortality serum cures diseases, but it also rips the multiverse wide open. When Jackie is hunted down, she travels back in time to stop the serum from annihilating the poor and oppressed.
As Jackie races through a fractured universe, she unravels the mysterious roots of her twisted family tree, but choosing the wrong alliance triggers the catastrophic, deadly Redistribution Program.
