@popstar Sometimes you can get free books if you message the publisher directly saying you'd like to review such-and-such!
@lj_writes @popstar lol oh yeah, that's a great point. You still still pay a price, but rather than dollars you pay it in discomfort
@popstar @lj_writes lol! one of those monkey's paw situations for sure
@trappleton @lj_writes I used to get a lot of books from publishing houses for reviews/hype because I was actually active publishing writer at the time but uh. Yeah they started sending boxes full of ARCS and wow it spiraled out of control real quick lmao I didn't read half of them.
