Our Commitment to Transparency
At LuvemBooks, we believe in full transparency with our readers. This page explains how we use affiliate marketing to support our book review platform while maintaining our editorial integrity and providing honest, unbiased recommendations.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on our website are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. This comes at no additional cost to you—the price you pay remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer. These commissions help us maintain and improve our website, allowing us to continue providing valuable book reviews and recommendations.
Our Affiliate Partners
We partner with reputable book retailers and affiliate programs, including:
- Amazon Associates — The world's largest online bookstore with millions of titles
- Bookshop.org — Supporting independent bookstores with every purchase
- Book Depository — Free worldwide delivery on all books
- Audible — Audiobook subscriptions and individual purchases
- Kindle Direct — E-books and digital reading
Our Editorial Guidelines
Our book recommendations are based on genuine belief in their quality and value to our readers. We maintain strict editorial guidelines to ensure our integrity:
- We only recommend books we have actually read and reviewed
- Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings or review content
- We clearly identify affiliate links throughout our content
- We prioritize our readers' interests above commission potential
- Negative reviews are published honestly, even for books from affiliate partners
- We disclose any free review copies received from publishers
How We Select Books to Review
Our editorial team selects books for review based on:
- Literary merit and quality of writing
- Reader interest and current trends
- Genre diversity and representation
- New releases and anticipated titles
- Reader requests and suggestions
We never accept payment for positive reviews, and affiliate partnerships do not guarantee coverage or favorable ratings.

- Continue creating free, high-quality book reviews and content
- Read and research books thoroughly to provide honest assessments
- Maintain an ad-light, reader-friendly browsing experience
