Do you pay attention to sponsored bookish posts on Facebook?

Bookish Question #301 | Do you pay attention to sponsored bookish posts on Facebook?

Do I pay attention to sponsored bookish posts on Facebook?

Honestly, no.

There are two reasons for this.

One is because I don’t get a lot of bookish sponsored posts. I don’t know how authors target their Facebook ads, but I simply don’t see many.

The other reason I don’t pay attention is that when I do see bookish posts, they tend to be in genres I’m not actually interested in. Again, I’m not sure how authors target their Facebook ads, but I rarely see sponsored posts for books I’m interested in reading.

What about you? Do you pay attention to sponsored bookish posts on Facebook?

Do you share book recommendations on social media?

Bookish Question #74 | Do you Share Book Recommendations on Social Media?

Yes!

As you all know, I review books. I publish a new book review on this website every Monday, and a #ThrowbackThursday review every (wait for it!) Thursday. I also participate in the First Line Friday blog meme, although I haven’t always read the books I share.

I share all my blog posts on social media: Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter (I use an app called Buffer to help: I set up a single post, and Buffer shares it to all the social networks for me. Click here to read a blog post I wrote introducing Buffer).

I also share my reviews on sites such as Amazon, BookBub, Goodreads, and RiffleBooks. I reshare reviews and my favourite book quotes on Twitter using an app called SocialJukebox. I add links to the relevant jukebox, and the app shares random quotes on a predefined schedule. (Click here to read a blog post I wrote introducing SocialJukebox).

What about you? Do you share book recommendations on social media? On which sites? What’s your favourite site for finding book recommendations?
