Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: August 20, 2026
The Well Read Society is a reader-supported website. Some pages, articles, book lists, and recommendations contain affiliate links.
If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support the cost of creating and maintaining The Well Read Society.

How Books Are Selected
Some books featured on The Well Read Society are books I have personally read and enjoyed. Those selections may be marked with notes such as “Kate’s Pick,” “Loved,” or a star rating.
Other books may be popular or highly rated titles currently waiting on my own TBR. They are included to make it easier for readers to explore books by mood, genre, premise, and trope.
A book’s inclusion does not necessarily mean I have personally read or endorsed it. Personal recommendations and reviews will be clearly identified.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not determine the opinions expressed on this website.
I aim to share honest context about whether I have personally read a book, whether it is on my TBR, and why it may fit a particular reading mood. However, reading experiences are personal, and I cannot guarantee that every reader will enjoy every featured book.
Prices and Availability
Book prices, formats, availability, descriptions, and retailer information may change without notice.
The price and information shown by the retailer at the time of purchase will apply. The Well Read Society is not responsible for retailer errors, unavailable products, shipping, returns, or purchases completed on third-party websites.
Sponsored and Gifted Content
If a book, product, service, or post is sponsored, gifted, or part of a paid partnership, that relationship will be disclosed clearly within the relevant content.
Questions
Questions about affiliate relationships may be sent to:
Add this short notice near the top of every page or post containing affiliate links. A separate disclosure page by itself is not sufficient; the FTC expects disclosure to be easy to notice and placed close to the recommendation or link. FTC Endorsement Guides, Amazon Associates requirements.
