This is from an email from author and biomechanist Katy Bowman, and I've verified the print and e-book numbers (https://thetechylife.com/how-much-money-does-amazon-take-from-book-sales/). Still looking for audiobook numbers as the linked article is less detailed on those. I also learned that Amazon controls 80% of book distribution in the US.
If you, like me, are alarmed by this, check out bookshop.org, libro.fm, and kobo.com for alternatives.
pickBook 2 in the series. A spicy romance set back in Dream Harbor. Hazel works in a bookshop and stumbles across books containing secret messages. She begins to follow the clues and asks Noah, the local fisherman to help her. The hunt finds them enjoying the summer together but what will happen if they find the treasure?
Both MCs had depth and I found I was rooting for them both. A small town, cosy mystery.
I‘m hoping to read the series over the next few weeks.
I had the delightful experience in April of traveling to England with my adult son. Our primary purpose was to travel to Liverpool to see our favorite football team play at their home stadium, Anfield. We had an amazing time, made more precious by the fact we witnessed Jota‘s final goal for Liverpool (IYKYN, RIP) During time after spent in London we fell in love with the Foyles flagship store, might be my favorite bookshop visit ever!!! 📚 ❤️

Have you all seen this? Apparently, it looks like Bezos‘ wedding invite. Thought Littens would be interested—free shipping!
Incidentally, kobo e-readers can read regular epubs - kepubs work slightly better (and are easily converted to in calibre), and you can side-load any epub of pdf you want.
