One of my summer goals is to continue my reading and get back on track with my Goodreads goals.
So far? This is so bad!
But I read and love Burning Side and I hope things will calm down a bit as we head into summer!
Here are some book deals you won’t want to miss this weekend (and don’t miss the 3 months free Kindle Unlimited deal and the 3 months free Audible deal!)
Blonde Identity by Ally Carter – audiobook – $3.99
I loved this hilarious spy romantic comedy with lots of action-packed adventure. Zoë wakes up in Paris with no memory at all, but when she is mistaken for her spy twin, many people want her dead. This one has two narrators (there are two narrators in the audiobook, which is really fun) and I loved every second of this book.
All of them are TB by John Green – ebook – $2.99
Since I listened and loved The Anthropocene Revisited a few years ago, I was so excited when this one came out! And I finished it in audio form (read by the author which made it really fun). I knew almost nothing about tuberculosis and this is an interesting look at this disease and how deeply it is woven into culture and history.
The Group: How a Therapist and a Group of Strangers Saved My Life by Christie Tate – ebook – $1.99
I haven’t read this one, but it sounds like an interesting memoir! From the outside, Christie Tate’s life seems very successful, but underneath she is struggling. This memoir follows her unexpected experiences with group therapy and relationships that ultimately help her find the relationship she has longed for.
Be Ready When Good Luck Strikes by Ina Garten – audiobook – $4.99
I love memoirs read by authors and Ina Garten is so fun to listen to and an amazing storyteller. I managed to get through this on a plane flight and it made the time fly by. I’d love to hear how many of you loved this last year too!
Classics for Kids by The Brothers Grimm & JM Barrie – audiobook – $0.99
I shared about the Libro.FM audiobook sale last week, and this was probably the biggest deal of the entire sale – $0.99 for almost 26 hours of stories!!! What a steal! It’s packed with all the best classics including tales from the Brothers Grimm, The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, and Black Beauty. (Plus, it’s a Libro.fm book, so you can make your own Yoto cards with it!)
As You Wish: The Unthinkable Story of the Making of The Princess Bride written and narrated by Cary Elwes with Joe Layden – audiobook – $6.99
If you grow together Princess Bride as I do, there is hardly a book more enjoyable than this one. I LOVED all the behind the scenes about the making of this film. After I convinced Bart to listen to it too, we watched the movie again and liked it even more, learning a lot of funny things about various scenes and actors. Best of all, they managed to get almost the entire original cast to chronicle their stories in the book, so hearing their voices is an added bonus. (Full review here)

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
