If you can wait between chapters for can read for free. Or you can pay for books upfront. The more you read you get points which can spend up your reading (I get impatient towards the end) I've used it for several months now and because of the pacing you're reading a bit everyday. Reading 2 books now. ♥️📚 So just to be clear can you find any book on there? My goal is for us to pick a book from a few suggestions and then all of us get a copy however we prefere and then read together 1
Flower_Dragon Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 @PigtailPrincess Ok, so I knew roughly zero about Galatea, so I did what any reasonable person would do. I looked at a few reddit threads. It looks like the audiobooks are AI narrated, I saw the writing quality compared to Wattpad, and saw a few mentions of the contracts screwing over the writers. 1

Interesting thanks for the info. But honestly guys I am just trying to find out if everyone has a place or platform they themselves can purchase the book on. We would all read separately and discuss. Like with a weekly book club 1
MissNMTX Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 @PigtailPrincessNo, it's material specific to the app. Independent writers I think. Though I think I've seen some mainstream writers too. 2

SquirtleSquad Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 I mainly read on kindle (I have the unlimited). However I’ve found if I wanna read a book really bad, you can usually search in google the name of the book and the author followed by ‘read free online’. Several websites will pop up and you can read it in a web browsers (sometimes with ads depends on the website). It’s not perfect. It’s an option if anyone needs it! 2
littlegala Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 I could probably buy a book here or there sometimes. Free is always nicer 😊 2

My question is does everyone have access to purchasing or should I try to make free or? Just trying to make it so everyone can participate. Digital reads would probably be easier to find and cheaper but let me know!! I don't have a whole lot of extra in my monthly budget. It's the main reason why I use KU despite the "trouble" it gives authors. If it's under $10 a month I can work that in, but if you can find something on KU, that would be better.

Shhhh. We don't talk about Naughty Novel Club. {winks and snickers} You can be in the club if you want to be. I think as long as it's romance, it fits, but some of us totally mean full on dirty novels. {waving hands excitedly and pointing at myself}
