I have three tubs of books to read and even more tubs of books that I’ve already read and I still have to stroll down the book aisle and buy more books whenever I’m in a store. In short, I don’t have an answer to that question. You just do what you can-that’s all any of us can ask. ---------------------------------------- All I can say is that I love to read AA romance. My sister in-Law want even pick up an AA book if it’s written by an AA author. I ask why she said she just can’t get into it. I told her that she was just giving up because she hasn’t found a good author. You want know how good an AA author is until you give them a chance to. Just because you read one book u don’t like doesn’t mean the others are the same. But she said she couldn’t get into them so I left it at that because sister girl work my last nerve. But we all have our reason. I love all kinds of books but my heart is with AA and it will always be that way. And anytime in Wal-Mart, or on the internet, anywhere they have books the 1st thing I do is look for an AA Books. I buy and buy I just think that when my daughter gets older she can read them. I love buying books to me it’s like buy shoes and that’s my 2nd favorite thing to buy. I have so many books at home I cant help it. I do have a question? What about the other people who are on eBay or Amazon and they are the ones who are selling the book and the author, doesn’t profit from it. Ok ya! So they may have brought the book for the store or given as gift. But that is another way fthe author cant met the sells. Adrianne Post

Thanks :grin: I have been an avid reader of AA romance novels for years. I get so disappointed when I come across an author and realize that the current book I'm reading is the 3rd in a series of 10! So many times I have searched high and low to find the other books. And by chance if I do find the books on ebay or amazon it will usually cost $30 or more! So now when a new series come out, I am on it! I make sure I get my book when it's first released! I really wish the publishing companies would be more proactive with re-releasing titles. Especially the ones that are part of a series. Since I am a new romance writer this blog was very informative. Thanks :grin:

I haven't worked out the details of how to set up notification emails, but for romances <a href="http://romanticadvances.com/get-content-in-your-inbox/" rel="nofollow">Romantic Advances</a> has an option that you can set up so that it will email you details of new books. As far as I can work out, they have the books listed in various categories, including by publisher, and they've got Genesis Press, Kensington's Dafina line and Harlequin's Kimani lines listed. It's a site run by volunteers, so I'm not sure how they're getting on with keeping it updated in all the categories, but if getting notification of new titles would be useful to you, maybe you could email them and ask?

I also send out as well as receive book announcements and I try to note when books that interest me will be coming out. I know you can get bombarded with a lot of email in the course of a week, but maybe adding the books of interest in a spreadsheet would help.
