Guys, it is fine that you want to spread a word for yours or your friends' book, but please note that this platform is NOT FOR THAT. At the moment, I've disabled comments on those posts. From now, such posts will be DELETED.

Sorry for being rude, but all the fun of this group is spoiled that way. If you want feedback for your book, and want someone to read it, there's a separate thread for that below.
Read/Comment/Favourite (Only for writers, or potential writers... *shrugs*)

The only thing is, for using this facility, you'll have to do the same for someone else. Sort of an exchange offer: Read one and get one read.

Hope you understand.

Hi guys!
I write too, and I know that we all have problems on getting our work to be read by someone. It is difficult to make a mark and let people know you actually write!

We send messages for updates and new books. (I stopped doing that, but still...)
How many people actually read your books when they read those messages?

We're 61 of us at the moment, why can't we start a chain to read and review one book for someone, and get one of our works read by someone else?

The thing is simple. You read the book the person in the above comment wants you to read, and post a link for one of your books. The next person will read yours, and the cycle continues!
You'll have to post a comment on the book you read too... but whether you favorite it or not, is up to you.

All in all, you get to read one work... and in exchange, someone else reads yours.

As an offer, I promise... if your comment isn't replied to, within 3 days of posting... I'll read the book and comment on it myself. How does that sound?

So......... how many people are up for it??

For the starters, I'm not gonna begin with a book of mine... but with a work of someone else's.
Here's the link: http://www.bookrix.com/_ebook-duron-crejaro-feral-heart/

If you commit to read this, you can comment below and get one of your books read.

Hey everyone. Every year, thousands of teenagers commit suicide, fed up of being bullied for their physique, persona or sexuality. I, for one, think that those bullies are as bad as the ISIS agents, who kill not one, but hundreds at a time, by suicide attacks.
People, before you bully someone, try to place yourself in their shoes and think what the victim goes through. The emotional turmoil drains him/her of all pleasures, and the victim seeks an escape in ending their life. This beautiful gift given to us by mother nature is ended just because some people seek pleasure in teasing others.
Not many people know, but I was one such victim upto when I was 12 years of age. I was a kid, and no one should face such thing in their childhood. I'm a single child of my parents, so I had no sibling-friend at home. This group of girls used to bully me for being a teacher's pet, and I was isolated in school. Those who wanted to become my friends, stayed away in a fear that they will lose their friends too. On the top of it, the leader of bully group lived right next to me, so I had no friends at home. 'ALONE' word was at the top in my dictionary, and I can't count the number nights I cried myself to sleep. In grade 5, I became the junior head-girl but I still did not stand up to myself. I stopped them from bullying others at the sake of being bullied myself. In class 6, I was threatened that if I report them to the teachers, they'll all put blame to by head. I was one, they were more than 10, so I gave in. In grade 7, my dad came to know about this, and he boosted me up, saying he doesn't care if teachers summon him for something which is not my fault. I started to stand up to them, I got friends. In grade 12, I was the President of the Student Council, and the most popular student of the school. (Not boasting, just telling you what standing up to the brings). I had more authority and power now, and I feel proud to say, by the end of my year, bullying came to an end in my school. This is the best thing I think I've done, and I'm standing up for them again.

Guys and girls, let's take a pledge to stop this evil which haunts many kids at school.
If you're against bullying, please copy paste this pledge in comments below, with appropriate changes, and follow it:

I, <your name> announce that I'm against the evil practice of bullying in any form. I pledge to be respectful of others and stand up against bullying whenever and wherever I see it.
I will SPEAK UP when I see bullying, REASON OUT to others who are bullied, and BE A FRIEND whenever I see bullying.
If I become a victim to bullying, I will share it with my friends, pick courage, and will stand up to the bullies.
I will spread this word around, to make this world a better place to live in.

Thanks,
Arianna

P.S. Special thanks to Lovelygirl_21 who is the reason behind this post. Here's a piece of work from her:
STOP BULLYING
Words Words
Bitch and whore
The girl runs away
she slams the door
she takes a knife
and cuts her skin
remembering how screwed up her life has been
she leans to the toilet
throws up to be thin
at school all she has is a grin
She cuts cuts cuts some more
Screaming in pain, blood on the floor
People call her emo people laugh at her face
But they haven't even tried to be in her place
Her dad just died, her mom has depression
her brother has to go through a therapy session
Why can't people see? that grin is a lie
everything's done for her, her life's slowly fading by
Bloods dripping on the floor, she's screaming in pain
she can't eat because that means more weight to gain
She wishes to be perfect she says it's not fair
she says she hears people talking about her hair
She cuts it all off, her soul has been broken
but she never told anyone, her words were never spoken
She takes the rope, hangs herself in the dark
She no longer has a beating heart
Her friends fall to the ground
when they hear the word "She's dead"
Her brother cries as he sleeps in her bed
She is gone
She is done
Just because of people. making fun.
She's buried on a Saturday,
people start crying
all because that one girl stopped trying.
so before judging someone on their weight or their clothes
their laugh their talk their hair or their nose
Just take a moment to realize and see that people are not always who they seem to be.
