Hi, Eleanor! 😀While it’s fine for you to post review feedback on BoMs on this part of the blog,🙂 normally you should post your purchases, reads and reviews on the main ‘BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS FOR REVIEW PAGE’ so that Beem Weeks can pick up on what you’ve reviewed, without having to look all over the site.
ALSO BE SURE TO EMAIL BEEM at ravereviewsbookclub@gmail.com as well as sharing your reviews on the MAIN CATALOG page – that way your efforts definitely won’t be missed!😉
Finally, one thing to be aware of – THE CATALOG PAGES are for RRBC MEMBERS ONLY and cannot be accessed by non-members (which is why we have this page to use exclusively for our Books of the Month)

I downloaded His Revenge. I finished uploading a new novella, 3rd in the series so I’m trying to catch up on reading. I thought this book was selected for review. But now I see it is not on the list. But the first one is. I’m so busy sometimes I don’t have time to read all the posts. So I will read it and I cannot imagine the author would not want a review, right? In any case, I’m in LOVE with the cover!! Thanks for the listen.

Hi, Richie and welcome to the Book Catalog! 😀 This page is for past Books of the Month, so you can post in here if you want to comment on any of these. However, when you’re ready to post about reviewing, this is what you need to do –

PLEASE POST YOUR PURCHASES, READS AND REVIEWS ON THE MAIN ‘BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS FOR REVIEW PAGE’ – THANK YOU! You may also use the genre listings in the Catalog area if you prefer.

Hi Steven – I’ve noticed that as well so I usually post reviews on both Amazon.com & Amazon UK. It used to be that the US reviews filtered onto the rest of Amazon, but it looks like they might have stopped that practice for some reason.
If I know that the author’s another nationality then I try to post on their ‘local’ Amazon as well (done that for a couple of Aussies) but it really is a pain in the you know where that they don’t ‘cascade’ reliably on the global market
