ARC/Review titles or (recently updated) Love and Christmas titles - all linked near the end of the post. -- [12/15/18 I am pulling out some new Christmas and Love titles to add to the Win box choices. I had to move the books due to the water threat in office. I will dig them out again soon.]

**NOTE: I did post an Updated ARC and Other books for Giveaways. I have to go back and list the titles -- someday.
Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.

WEEK #367
(One Question.)

bn100 asks: How do you feel about authors asking you to fund their writing??
I have seen requests for funding but they have been through friends of a sick author which is rather nice. Otherwise, I can't think of any direct requests and I am not sure I would participate... other than buying a book.

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify.
April comments were shared by Alina and bn100. Alina gets $2.50 credit and bn100 gets first 1/2 credit towards a book pick.

Your turn to share. bn100 asks: How do you feel about authors asking you to fund their writing??

SBB Comment Winners can choose a selection from the Updated ARC and Other books, including the "Love" and Christmas titles all in one post.

SBB Rules:
a) Must be a follower.
b) Share a comment on the question above.
Open internationally and an international winner may get a smaller book or a $5.00 GC if I decide the mailing is too much.

  1. I don't think I'd participate either.... I'd prefer just buying their books

  2. I don't see why I should fund someones writing, but if the author is any good my support will be in form of a purchased book.

  3. I've never encountered that before but while I would be happy to buy books from an author I like, I doubt I would fund their writing.

  4. Congrats to the winner!
    I would be turned right off if an author had the audacity to ask me for funding.
    Happy Easter to you all!

  5. Just asking to fund their writing would be a problem, but asking due to a serious illness or other unexpected emergency --that I would consider giving tol

  6. I would be uncomfortable if asked to fund the writing. Happy to buy great books though.

  7. I saw it and it's in the form of Patreon: exclusive rights to some never-before-seen scenes or early reveal of the cover of a book or exclusive interviews and videos with the author... I don't mind it, but I didn't participate to it since it wasn't from a beloved author. If it were from one of them I would do it.

  8. I have never encountered an author asking for funding, but I probably wouldn't do it. I would buy their book though.
