Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on Booktimistic are affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, Booktimistic may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. Prices are exactly the same whether you use an affiliate link or go directly to the retailer.

Does This Affect What Gets Reviewed?

No. Affiliate relationships have no bearing on which books are reviewed, which books are recommended, or what ratings are given. Every opinion on Booktimistic is Fareya’s honest assessment. A book is never reviewed positively because of an affiliate program, and negative reviews are published just as readily as positive ones.

Affiliate links appear in “Where to Buy” boxes on individual book reviews, within curated roundups and “Books Like…” lists, and in reading guides. They are always labelled and disclosed before the first link on any page.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). Booktimistic is a participant in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for the site to earn fees by linking to affiliated retailers.
