Follow the instructions below to take full advantage of free offers and more.

Group administrators

Once you’ve selected My Groups you’ll be taken to a page with details of your group(s). On this page you’ll find a code in an orange box, you’ll need to share this with your group members.

Joining your group online

If you’re a member of a group who wants to join the group online in order to leave reviews you’ll need to sign up.

Once you’ve done this search for your group online using the postcode.

When the results have been returned click on your group. On the group page click on the Join this group button next to the map.

A pop up box will ask you for your group code enter the code given to you by the group administrator to join this group.

Congratulations! You can now leave reviews for books you’ve read, apply for free sets of books for your group,

It’s worth noting that members of secret groups can’t leave reviews online so contact your group administrator to make sure that this won’t affect you.
