I recently started using Book Notification (booknotification.com).

For me, the use case is simple: add a list of #authors I like, and they send me a weekly email with upcoming releases by those authors and a link to a personalised #book release calendar page.

I read a lot of #books, so I like what they're doing. Unfortunately there is a catch. Two, actually.

Firstly, they use an #accessibility overlay (Ally by Elementor). While it isn't personally bothersome for me (particularly given the fact that my primary interest is in the content they email out), I do fundamentally object to using a service that perpetuates the use of these tools however unmaliciously.

Secondly, the first time I visited the site after signing up, I'd been signed out and the backend had apparently forgotten my password. Services not handling authentication data and user sessions well is a development pet peeve of mine.

All of this to say: if this sounds appealing to you and you're not put off by the highlighted caveat and hiccup, it does seem to work well. But I'm also interested in recommendations of other services like this that will let me keep track of new book releases by authors I enjoy. Do you know of any?

(Please no Goodreads, Amazon, Audible, or the like.)
