I have a children's book, can I promote that on your site?
Yes! Although kids are not our main focus, many of our Clubies are moms and dads. So we maintain a page just for the kids, so they know they have a resource to go to. Check out our kids page.
I have a young adult/teen book, can I promote that on your site?
Yes! Teens are very into book clubs and we have quite a few young adult clubs on BookBundlz. Because of this we maintain a page just for teens. Check out our teen page.
