Aev the Reader
Reading is still a relatively new passion of mine. I started getting back into reading late 2022-early 2023 and have been addicted ever since. I primarily read romance, fantasy, and dystopia fiction.
A goal of mine is to expand the bookish community here on the small web and bring readers together. This has started with The Book Ring (also known as Marigold Town’s Library) which has many community-focused expansions planned for 2024.

Book Outlet
DISCLAIMER: Book Outlet does not pay me to share this with you. HOWEVER, I do regularly order from them and genuinely recommend them. When you sign up using my referral link, not only do you get $5 off your next book order, I also get a discount towards my next order when someone signs up with my referral link. So essentially, you and I are helping fund each otherโs book addictions.ย ย Thank you and youโre welcome!
Community Involvement.
As I’ve been growing more into this hobby as well as the small web, I really wanted to create a space where readers could easily find and befriend others who love books and reading. So I’ve created a webring and directory called The Book Ring!
The Book Ring isn’t exclusive to just the small web, but I am hoping it will become an avenue for others to discover the small web. Authors as well as book bloggers are also welcome to join. โฅ So long as you have your own website/blog with book-related content and can share our webring code, you are welcome!
As of 2024, The Book Ring has made some expansion efforts. It is primarily settled in Marigold Town, though, you can still access is through Neocities as well. I plan to bring more social networking and community features to this community in 2024, so stay tuned!

Book Outlet
This is by far the best book shopping resource I have found to date! It’s a reputable online discount bookstore where you can buy books for 50%-75%+ OFF the new retailing price! I’ve bought entire box sets and tons of popular books from this site for a fraction of the price, and the reason they go so cheap is because these books are often returns, special buys, or overstock they receive directly from the publishers.ย
The buttons below take you to my referral links for the USA and Canada, which gives you $5 OFF your first order from their site. ๐ฅณ And just a quick disclaimer, I will never recommend websites/products/services that I do not personally use and love on my website. If I share it, I’ve already been using it, I love it, and genuinely recommend it. โฅ
BookSirens:
Free Books For Readers, Promotion
& Early Reviews for Authors!
BookSirens is a gem of a website I discovered earlier this year after I rekindled my love of reading, and discovered it is a great spot to get free books to read! It is also an AMAZING resource for authors and writers who are ready to take their work to the next level. Authors can give ARCs of their books to readers who will boost and promote the book on social media and leave reviews as soon as the release date hits. Readers also get to choose which genres they are interested in reading and receive a selection of ARCs to read based on their preferred genres. Authors can take a peek at the reviewer pool for their book’s genre here.
I am proudly affiliated with BookSirens, and again, this is a website I actually use, support, and recommend as it is such a great resource for readers to discover new books for free and authors to get their work out there, read, reviewed early and promoted. โฅ
