Lucy,

I've been choosing YA books to read and do YARG reviews for based on people sending me messages or commenting on my book however, is there a better way to chose? I want to help make sure everyone gets reviewed :-)

Hi Lucy,
Hope all is going well with you. Its so great to see Sarah nearly at the top. Congrats.
I am just letting you know that I think I might suspend my book on YARG for a month or two. I really want to finish Grey and finish editing my other book.This site is a weak distraction of mine, and I love reading and reviewing, but I think I need some time to concentrate and focus otherwise I'll keep procrastinating and never get it done. So I shall be in touch hopefully when I've completed it, I'd still love to hear your thoughts on the final product, and thanks so much for your support with Grey, I truly do appreciate it. I will pop in from time to time, to check your book is on top of the editors desk of course. xx

Hi Lucy,

I am excited to find your thread! It looks like you have a great thing going here. Thanks for putting it together. I look forward to some great reads, and feedback/criticism.

Sincerely,
Ryan

but Pinder's more exciting than Aurore... maybe my erotica pen name will be Jaclyn Pinder... though i'm not sure I could rock it the way you do... and I still like the pen name Lusty Perv

i'm also Pindery ... BAM!

ya, I went there ;-)

Pinder-esqe! how are you?

in which case do read Evie and Guy or one of the things that's free on my website rather than the things here which may or may not have been edited in the past 3 years :)
Are you/are you going to be part of the Pankhearst crew? I had the pleasure of writing the intro for their latest project which was just brilliant.

Hi Lucy, Evie recommended your book and she was spot on. Don't worry about looking at my stuff - it's only here as a hangover from the dim distant past. I'm solely here to hang out and maybe scoop a writer or two for my various installations/spoken word events.
Very best

Dan (Sandrine is a character from the first book I had on here back before the flood!)

Thanks so much, Lucy...a lot to think about here, and incredibly helpful. It's nice having the chance to have others read...you.definitly caught some things I missed! ;)

No problem! Love your book.

No point in a comment or anything, Lucy, I imagine you're quite busy holding on to your position at the moment :) No, only give it a little read if you want to chill out between reads or something. I'm not sure it would be to your taste, apart from the 70's connection :) xx

You're welcome, Lucy. I'll comment when I've read more :)

Finished reading and reviewing Arrival of the Ageless :-)

Hi Lucy
Thought I'd better back your wonderful book now as you seem to sneaking up on the top five rather quickly!
Fingers crossed you make it this month : )

Lucy, I really appreciate your review. You've pointed out some really important points that I need to work on. Your critique is definitely going to help me to improve as a writer. I'm hoping to put up some more in the next couple of weeks, as well as updated drafts of the beginning, and I hope that I can get your input on those as well.
Thank you!

The trip itself wasn't bad. But then I got detoured for 3 days in pouring rain, hiking with my straight Momz, whose idea of preparing for a tough 75km trek is by reading about it, dehydrating food, and never exercising. I carried all her stuff and I had to share a sleeping bag with my brother who lost his. I am still mad about it. I couldn't leave her, because I needed her to pay for my ferry ticket out of there. So that happened. In other news, I will be emailing you soon with a full report on Sarah.

Hi, Lucy,

O-mi- gosh..that was one heck of review you gave the book of souls. i felt so generic with mine. After reading it, you made me think . You were right about a lot of things...honestly..you'll make a great editor! acutally, you're kind of intimidating, now...lolol...phew, glad my turn was over.lo..

Lucy, I noticed that you have Sarah Waters under your favorites. I love her, but I can never find anyone who's heard of her, so I'm excited to see that you have! Although I must say that prefer Fingersmith, Affinity, and Tipping the Velvet over The Little Stranger. Have you read them?

Hi Lucy,

Thank you for commenting on Break Free. Utopia! Every comment helps. It does still need a lot of editing, and there are a few things that don't make sense until the end. But, I'm still happy to keep working on it. :)

Thank you again.
Laura

Oh look! Nummer 6! Niiiiice.
