BookBub

BookBub is another fantastic place to find book deals. You can set up a wish list of books and it will notify you if one of the books go on sale, like eReaderIQ. But that’s not its only fun feature. 

Every day, BookBub will send out a list of their daily deals, set to your preferences. All the books are under $4, and some are even free. So, you can test drive a series before you commit to buying them all at full price, or build up a library of standalones you wouldn’t get to read otherwise. Some of my favorite reads this year have come from BookBub, like Tattered Stars by Catherine Cowles. While it hasn’t made any of my top lists, it was a book I loved, and I never would have found it otherwise since it’s not on Kindle Unlimited. I’m now tracking the rest of the series on eReaderIQ and BookBub looking for them to go on sale. 

You can follow your favorite authors on BookBub too, in case any of their new releases go on sale. 

It’s also a great place for new authors. You can pay to advertise your book deal to thousands of readers. While I haven’t done it yet, I’m hoping to in the future when I have a bigger marketing budget. 

BookBub also has a tracking feature to record books you’ve read and will recommend other books based on your tastes. This means it can be used as an alternative to GoodReads. And if you’re an author, that means you can recommend your friends’ books as well.

eReaderIQ

I find 90% of the books I read on Kindle Unlimited. It’s not that I don’t want to buy books, but I’m a girl on a budget and I don’t have a lot of storage space for physical books. However, there are books I want to read that I can’t get on Kindle Unlimited, Libby, or...

Hoopla: Free EBooks and More

How to Use Libby to Read Ebooks for Free

You see Libby get referenced a lot in the online book world, but not everyone knows what it is. I will fully admit it took me an embarrassingly long time to actually figure out how you use it. So, I thought I’d explain it. Libby is a free online book borrowing service...

Outlining with Plottr Pro

How to Turn Any Kindle Book Into an Audiobook

There are a lot of people who prefer listening to audiobooks than sitting down to read a traditional book. I'm not one of them, but that's okay. The only time I use audiobooks is on a road trips when I need long term entertainment, although I usually listen to books...

My Top Ten Books of 2022 So Far
