Affiliate disclosure

Affiliate links

Blind Date With a Book is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

In practice, that means some of the book links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not.

Our recommendations are our own

Every book we recommend is hand-picked because we think it's a genuine fit for the theme, genre, or reader — never because of a commission. We aren't paid by publishers or authors to feature their books, and an affiliate relationship never buys a spot on one of our lists. If that ever changes, we'll say so clearly on the page.

Display advertising

We also show display ads, served primarily through Google AdSense, to help cover the cost of hosting and maintaining the site and keeping every tool free. Ads are labeled, and you can read about the cookies and data involved in our privacy policy.

Why we tell you this

Beyond it simply being the right thing to do, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires websites to disclose affiliate relationships. This page — along with the note you'll see near our book recommendations — is how we meet that obligation and keep your trust.
