FREE BOOKS for Book lovers: ARC & Polished Manuscript Readers for Authors discussion

Hi! I’m looking to start reading arcs. I’m pretty open on anything but romance, fantasy, thriller, and horror are my favorites. I would love to read anything you throw my way and will review here on Goodreads and make a TikTok about it. @kaitlynreadsbookss 😊

Hey, I would love some visibility/reviews, but I’m mostly just hoping people read and enjoy it.

I wrote and self-published a fantasy novel, Swells Over Still Waters, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... — No sequels. No magic or powers or trolls or goblins or chosen-ones or any of that — just natural wonder.

It’s sort of a pirate story. If you enjoyed The Queens Thief series by Meghan Whalen Turner, or the Brotherband Chronicles by John Flannigan, or even Isles of the Emberdark by Branden Sanderson, you’ll probably like this.

It’s a story about dealing with one’s past and the baggage of parents, and about self-discovery. It features an intricate ecosystem of fantastic creatures, all inspired by real ones, and a fascinating history filled with quotes from in-world texts to open each chapter, and a detailed map I made in an illustrator.

I did all the writing, editing, artworks, and audio work by myself — no AI whatsoever. If you want to check out my self-narrated audiobook, it’s available on my Substack, to be completed at the end of 2025: https://open.substack.com/pub/losersf...

and if you just want a copy of the full book, no strings attached, that’s here (Word, PDF, EPUB): https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile... If you read it, thanks. If you review it, thanks twice.

Review Tour Sign-Up 🌟

I’m so excited to host the review tour for The Stars Led me to You - Rowan Fiscal

🔮Genre: Romantasy

🔮Tropes: star-crossed lovers, small coastal town, love triangle, coming of age, magical
realism, and choice between destiny and free will.

🔮Synopsis:
The stars remember what the heart forgets.
Clara Palacios just wanted to take a risk on love before senior year slipped away. Then she met
Ulises “Uli” Montes on the beach near Seladora Isle, and everything changed. Their
connection? Instant. Intense. Like they’d known each other forever ♾️

Clara and Uli never meant to dig up the past. But when they uncover the legend of a painter and
his wife, two souls who died decades ago but swore they’d find each other again, their bond
starts to feel like more than just chance. Like something written long before they ever met.
But love isn’t easy when real life is falling apart. Uli is barely holding things together with his
mother’s illness, his father's anger that's getting harder to ignore, and the future he’s clinging to
is slipping away. And Clara? She doesn’t fit the life his parents expect him to live, no matter how
deeply he cares for her 🩷

Then there’s Locke, the sharp-witted ranch hand who makes her laugh and asks nothing of her
past. Clara fits without even trying.
No pressure. No pain. Just possibility.
Now, Clara is caught between the boy who feels like a love written in the stars…and the one
who makes her feel like she belongs.
The island remembers the love that time tried to bury. But even on Seladora Isle, love must still
find its way through the present.

🔮Details:
10 participants will be chosen.
Each will receive a digital copy of the book for their Kindle email.
Review tour starts October 15th.
Sign-ups are open until October 4th.
Please only sign up if you can commit to reading and posting your review during the tour dates.

Hi Kaitlyn , I'm looking for ARC reader for my romance suspense ebook.Would you like to join my ARC team?

Hi Kaitlyn! Since you're looking for ARCs and open to different genres, I’d love to pitch you something a bit different. I just released 'One of a Kind Creatures', a vibrant children's picture book.

It’s a 5-minute read, but it's packed with high-quality illustrations (a vegetarian lion, a short-necked giraffe, etc.) that would look amazing in a TikTok aesthetic! It’s a 'cozy fantasy' for kids about self-acceptance. If you'd like a quick, colorful break from your longer reads, I'd be happy to send you a PDF for an honest review and a shoutout on your TikTok! 😊

Hi Kaitlyn,
I'd love to have you review ODYSSEUS — a literary reimagining of Homer's Odyssey. It's historical fiction with mythological depth: Odysseus's 10-year journey home, stripped to raw humanity. Survival, divine games, moral weight, and the cost of integrity.
Think Circe meets Ken Follett. Literary prose, character-driven, closed door.
If you're interested, I'll send you the ebook. Honest review on Goodreads (and Amazon if possible) would be amazing!
Leon

Hi Kaitlyn! Just realized I forgot to include my email in my previous message — if you're still interested in ODYSSEUS, reach me at info@leongcollin.com and I'll send the epub right away!

This series took root when I was in an unhappy marriage and needed an outlet. So I created a world where women's pleasure is paramount and males are trained to serve and please! And there's a heck of a plot, too :D

If you have a chance to take a look on the book I would be so grateful!

Until Thursday midnight Pacific Time, week you can get the first 3 books for free :)

Dear Kaitlyn,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Eduardo J Aleman, and I would like to thank you for your time and support.

I’ve written two books that I’m incredibly proud of: Hopping for Happiness and The Thousandfold Tide. I would be truly honored if you might ever be interested in reading one (or both) of them. I completely understand how busy you are and how many books come your way, so there is zero pressure at all.

This is the link to my YA sea fantasy novella: https://booksprout.co/reviewer/review...

Wishing you all the best and many wonderful stories ahead,

Warmest regards,
Eduardo

On the Edge of the Past

Hi Kaitlyn!

If you're still looking for an ARC, you are more than welcome to see if my debut novel On the Edge of the Past sparks any interest. It's primarily a fantasy with an enemies to lovers romance burning around it. Think cat and mouse trope like in Heartless Hunter. There's also some sci-fi elements as well. It's got lost memories, mystery elements, ancients dragons and long gone civilizations.

If that sounds at all interesting I'll drop the blurb below so you can continue reading and further decide if it will be worth your while. I'd truly appreciate your feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to consider me! You can reach out to me at Jaxondierker@gmail.com for the ebook file if you want to read or just to ask any further questions :).

Blurb:

Strange things lurk in the abandoned and omitted places of the cosmos. Ancient things. Some of them should be rightfully forgotten, while others remembered, if only to avoid the cessation of life.
Khorrin used to know of such things, most of his memories clouded and unreachable now. He can't fathom why his home is withering right before his eyes. Using some of the only runic magic he knows, Khorrin moves across years in a blink as he waits for something, anything, to tell him what's happening. When no answer comes, the oceans dried and forests vanished, Khorrin wades into the endless dunes filling their place. Pushed to the last edges of hope, he stumbles upon something ancient, lying dormant beneath the ruthless sands.
Suddenly, trees fill the space around him and rain taps his face. There are people, there is life. But it comes with a warning. A marking of doom for it all to suffer the fate of desertification if he can't remember what he's forgotten; a journey that will test all of him.
Captain Sahkirra has spent years chasing disappearances with now answers, crushing her reputation with the High Queen. Ordered to capture Khorrin, she believes he holds everything to restore what she worked so hard to build for herself. What she doesn’t know, perhaps blinded by her pursuit of reclamation, is that something else stalks Khorrin. Something far more dangerous and far older than she ever could've imagined. And the further she chases him, the greater the peril, and perhaps worse for her, the more she begins to drift towards the curiosity that Khorrin is.

Hi Kaitlyn! I saw your ARC post and thought my book could be a great fit, especially since you enjoy thrillers.

I’m releasing a standalone prequel to "Reality’s Endgame" on June 9 and building a small ARC team. It’s a psychological thriller centered on paranoia, manipulation, and high-stakes group dynamics.

If you’re interested, you can grab a copy here:

"Twelve contestants. One isolated house. Everything you see can be manipulated."

I’d really appreciate an honest Goodreads review, and a TikTok would be amazing if you feel inspired!
