HOW IT WORKS:

The pool opens up each time with the group of featured books. Authors can sign-up to review any ONE of the books by selecting a book and filling out the form below.
A confirmation will be sent to the selected participants with the book they've been assigned to review.
Authors will have 4 weeks to read and review their assigned books, and post a FAIR and HONEST review on Amazon and/or Goodreads.
Once the review has been submitted, authors must send in the direct link to their review online as proof so that their book can be added in the next pool.
A new pool will start once reviews have been submitted by the specified deadline. Pools will be open ONCE a month. Authors have to sign-up for a book every time to be considered in the new pool. Authors can submit TWO BOOK ENTRIES in each pool as long as the books are different.

This is all done in secret (it’s a Secret Santa.) Authors will only know what book they’re assigned to review. They will NOT know who is reviewing their book.

GUIDELINES:

Since these are HONEST and LEGIT reviews, reviews can range anywhere between 1 and 5 stars. GOOD REVIEWS ARE NOT GUARANTEED. We ask that ALL AUTHORS give a FAIR and HONEST assessment of the books they’ve been assigned. ANY and ALL reviews are accepted as long as they reflect the HONEST opinions of the reviewers.
Authors are under NO OBLIGATION to finish a book they are not enjoying, nor are the obligated to post a review on a book they did not like. The posting of reviews is based on the author's personal preference. Authors that DO NOT submit a review on their assigned book WILL NOT get their book in the next review pool.
In the event of NO REVIEW for a book that is owed a review, that book will be automatically added to the next pool and be assigned to a new reviewer.

Now that everything’s all settled, we welcome everyone to HOP ON IN! All genres accepted and pool entry is FREE.
