No TTT today! But great resources ;)
I guys, how are you? As you know, I love Tuesdays because I get to discover new blogs through TTT (created by That Artsy Reader Girl), but today’s topic is not right for me for 2 reasons: 1. I’m currently in South America, meaning the Autumn is coming here (yeei!!) and 2. I never know what’s coming next in my TBR list, since I’m a bit of a freak.

So, instead of doing this week’s TTT, I decided to share some of my reading habits through a series of FAQ.
Q. Is is true that you haven’t purchased a book in over two years now?
A. Yes! Being on the road means not being able to carry my library around, except on my phone (because my Kindle is no longer working!). So, I signed up to a couple of websites and I get daily emails with promos and free books and I download the ones I’m into. I currently have 152 books on my Kindle app. Of course, I also get author’s request, but I’m very picky with those since I like to leave positive reviews, so I only chose the genres and blurps I’m most likely to enjoy.
Q. How do you chose a book out of the 152 titles in your Kindle app?
A. First of all, I have to think if I’m in the mood for Romance, YA, Historical Fiction, Paranormal… you get it. Then, I browse the covers and I check the blurps on Goodreads. From there, I usually pick the book that’s got less reviews and ratings, and I feel I’m doing the author and the reader community a great contribution. And, deep inside, the author part of me wishes more people did this!

Q. How do you find out about free books?
A. By far, Bookbub is the website that’s contributed the most to my free book catalogue. But there are sooo many others out there. Just to mention a few: Robin Reads, Bargain Booksy, Free Booksy. I recently found out about Instafreebie, which I personally use to promote my book “Just For a While” (claim your free copy here!), but that didn’t stop me from getting tons of copies of other books! Truth be told, you’re not likely to find the “hype” books in these websites, but you’ll certainly discover great new authors not many people are talking about!
Q. How about other resources?
A. Internet offers countless resources to freebie lovers! If you’re tight on money and you love to read, guess what? You can read for free! Make sure you follow the authors you love, specially if they are indie. Indie authors engage a lot more with their readers and they are more likely to giveaway copies of their books in the hopes of getting a new fan and an honest review! Stalk them, follow them on Twitter, Goodreads, Instagram, Facebook, join their Street-Teams, sign up for their Newsletters, don’t be shy! Go completely psycho and they’ll love you for it
