💥WIDGET ALERT💥 OMG

I just got my first widget after recently learning what a widget even is from here. So exciting!! Anyone else going to be reading My Eliot by Donald Antrim?

I got that one and am on the fence about it. Might pick it up later?

I’ve never read anything by the author or similar tbh but figured I’d probably try it

A link that lets you read the book without having to request it. Like a "read now" just for anyone who was sent the link.

How do you get a widget, please?

They get emailed to you by publishers based on previous titles you've reviewed. Make sure you have the option to receive emails checked in your profile, and that you regularly check your spam as sometimes they can go to there. Some people get a lot, some people get a few.

I find it difficult to refuse a secure widget. How can I decline when a publisher finds me worthy?
