BookBub

The title is fitting because half of the time you can get a good deal and the other half, you're left scratching your head. Being on a budget means that I look for the free books but I do and will often buy books for the rest of the series, IF I can see what it's about. More often than not lately, Book Bub has listed a book as free BUT it is #'s 3, 4, 5 or 6 in a series. Speaking only of myself, I will never buy a whole series (unless Harry Potter) without reading Book 1 first. There's a screenshot of something that I received to show what I mean. Good luck Book Bub.

Not enough adjectives to describe how much I enjoyed Sawbones 3. History, description of beautiful scenery and a loving family leading a normal family life. Or not so normal. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing and on your toes. I took my time reading the last few chapters. Just didn't want the story to end.

This is a lovely series full of excitement and emotion and romance. I have enjoyed each part of it. Kennedy is your typical macho hero and he did irritate me a bit I have to admit. It's really hard for females in professions that have always been thought of as only for men. I am not sure when, or if that will ever change.

Beau and Becca have been frIenenemies since age ten. They've been neighbors and each other's sounding boards since that time. They've always been painfully honest with each other. Until, as adults, they realize they are more than honesty advisors to each other. They realize they're physically and emotionally attracted. But Beau finds he is cynical about their connection, he is afraid he's not good enough for her. That she'll leave him for bigger and better things. She's been off to college while he started his own custom woodworking business. Now they must find out if they can overcome their years of bickering, insecurity and brutal honesty. Can they learn to use their honesty for good, for their community and for each other? And, also, thank god for the brilliant advice and wisdom of Ellie Landry.

Two years ago I ran an ad for one of my novels on BookBub. I set a budged of $5/day and it ran with no problems. So on June 15 of this year I decided to create a second ad for my recently released novel. I set an ad budget of $10/day.

But within a day or so I received charges from BookBub of $750, (since increased to $760), which had been automatically charged to my PayPal account. I immediately checked the data for the ad and found that my budget of $10/day had been increased to an insane $10,000/day.

I contacted BookBub about the error. Their response was, since 'I' had set the budget at $10,000/day, I was stuck with the charges and they were not going to do anything about it, nor refund any of the charges.

I don't know how my budget got changed, only that I did not do it. I can only conclude that there is a problem in BookBub's ad-creation program which they refuse to acknowledge.

Needless to say, I will not be using BookBub to run ads on. (On a side note, I got exactly one sale for my $760. I did much better with a one-week ad on Facebook for a tenth of the cost.)

It's definitely a great for readers but I'm just disappointed by the lack of choices. Every book that's discounted or free is not my genre of book reading. BookBub's a great site but I just don't read the kind of books that it offers.

Karen Mcspade "A Feline Like A Suspect

This book is a 5 star, there is lots of mystery and great suspect characters. There's twist and turns in this book. I thought I knew who the killer was but I was wrong. The book will keep you guessing and makes you keep turning the page til the end. I would recommend this series to anybody it's great. Keep write Karen.

There are quite a lot of brilliant books on this site. I choose the romantic and the comedy novels. All-in-all a very good site.

As an author of forty years (trad, small press and indie, and ironically with the nickname Bub!) I think they're just a money-grabbing faceless corporation. I would like to know why I've always been knocked back by them and the last submission I made I temporarily lost my head when considering paying them to advertise a book I made free just for the purpose! This has to be total madness. Perhaps I've dodged a bullet. OK, it was a bit more affordable trying the international route (UK and Canada) and they won't accept everybody but to add insult to injury they cba communicating. A good company will communicate and seek to reach out to the customers it makes money from. Boycott them, authors and readers alike. They only care about exploiting authors. Look for your offers elsewhere. There are plenty of other decent and less exploitative sites out there.

The Society m#StalkerProblems by Ivy Smoak is a funny romantic story of Ash,
Who is socially awkward and Tanner,
A man with a secret. There is great banter between them and the cast of characters are funny and unique. If you're an Ivy Smoak fan, you won't want to miss reading this book. If you're a new fan, this book will hook you.

Goodreads is way better BookBub makes money on VERY EXPENSIVE ADS
REALLY EXPENSIVE. NOT SUPPORTIVE OF AUTHORS AT ALL..

I have a Nook reader and have used this site extensively. The books offered are older books but if I have not read an offered book, who cares. When I find a book that I want, I can go directly to Barnes & Noble and make my purchase. The prices are great and the download is fast, Who could ask for more.

Heavy focus on books that are unhealthy for family life. Looked around for a while but it is not the focus I am interested in, nor recommend to anyone else who is interested in healthy relationships.

What a wonderfully written, intricately woven love story, that tackles the cold hard reality that is addiction. It cleverly shows how addiction transcends class, social status and many situations in life. Along with how it can ruin people, or how people can rise above it.

I can't stop buying books through BookBub! I have bought countless great books at very low prices - and many for free. Most of them are anywhere from a year to 15 years old and have been on Best Seller Lists. I have had many hours of good reading. Thank you, BookBub! You can choose the type of books you would like to read and they will offer only the kinds that you have listed. My favorites are Mysteries, Cozies, Crime Fiction, and Women's Fiction. I also like Series (especially Engish Mysteries) Books where one can really get to know the main characters. There is no obligation to buy anything and no fees.

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch was an excellent read, No Names to Be Given was excellent also, the Author Julia Daily is an awesome writer.

Does not deliver what it claims, very expensive and costly.

BookBub is a glittery scam and they take advantage of struggling authors. Certainly not worth the money

Avoid.

This is an amazing second chance love story. A military man suffers loss, grief and guilt but his one true love is there to help save him. They were friends growing up until he unexpectedly took off and returns 17 yrs later.

Bookbub claims to have huge exposure for advertising and to provide a great return for authors, if they will invest in and are approved for their platform. We have found that their advertising is overpriced and that the exposure is not as great as Bookbub claims. Very minimal return for the investment. Considering the large numbers of consumer readers that Bookbub claims (in excess of 800,000) to give authors access to, the return on advertising investment should be exponentially greater. Advertiser beware, as there are much better platforms for advertising that will offer much greater return. Unless Bookbub makes drastic changes, and is more honest with their advertising reach, they will continue to lose readership and clout. Things are definitely not as they appear in the world of Bookbub advertising.

Great read. Story of a girls weekend away turn to mystery with a twist of a sexy hotel masseuse. A hot and sexy jungle and waterfall scene that turns into a cliff hanger and waiting to read the next book

For those who loved the first three books in the lively "Dawn" series "Liberators of the Dawn" is an absolute must read all the way to it's poignant end.

All the Winning Numbers is the fourth in a series of works penned by David B. Smith. The work follows Rachel Marie, the books main character, through a series of significant road bumps in her life. She experiences personal sorrow, a moral dilemma as well as issues related to health. The book is written from a Christian perspective, and the author has the ability to wrap one story line upon another, keeping the reader anxiously anticipating the outcome of each story. Once I got started reading the book, I literally could not put it down. I highly recommend this book as a pleasant read while still dealing with significant issues of life.

Read reviews of site - the authentic ones are not good. The ones praising it sure have the feel of being fake - there are sites where you can get paid for writing good reviews for a company! You google and see what you think. After I left the site and was doing something else, I get a popup asking me if I needed help or if i wanted to write a review. I had not left my name, email or anything else (except I presume cookies) at the site.
