I subscribe to this email service called BookBub<\/a>. It provides me a listing of books available that are usually on sale and tailored to my liking. Most of these books are on sale at a couple to a few dollars. I’ll go ahead and buy it just so I’ll have another book to choose from the next time I finish whatever book I’m currently reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can also be a tool for authors to use. They can pay to have their books curated to a massive audience who are looking for that genre of book. So subscribe to BookBub. Fill your kindle up for cheap before you know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, THE DEVIL WITHIN US ALL caught my attention. It was on sale for a buck. Clicked on it which brought me to the amazon page to buy it. Spent the better part of a minute trying to figure out how to buy it. Then I saw the clues. I had already purchased this book \u2013 over 2 years ago. Oops!<\/p>\n\n\n

When I look at my kindle and all the books I have already bought and have not read yet, the total count is over 120. I read, on average, 15-21 books per year, therefore I should be set for the next 10 years, on top of the regular new books I buy from my favorite authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was planning to mention what I am currently reading next, but I think I’ll just post another article with that. \u0000\u0000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The allure of BookBub’s curated selections keeps me returning for more.
