FAQ
1. What is LitPicks?
LitPicks is a curated book recommendation platform designed to save you time. We sift through Amazon’s vast catalog, test top-rated titles, and handpick only the most compelling reads each week — so you can skip the endless scrolling and dive straight into books you’ll love.
2. How does LitPicks work?
Our team of book enthusiasts spends hours analyzing reviews, sales trends, and reader feedback on Amazon. We then apply strict criteria (like ratings, author credibility, and reader engagement) to select 5-7 standout titles weekly. No algorithms, no sponsored picks — just human-curated quality.
3. Why should I trust LitPicks over Amazon’s own lists?
- No bias: We’re not paid by authors/publishers. Our picks are 100% based on merit.
- No clutter: Amazon lists thousands of books; we filter out the noise.
- Deep analysis: We read reviews, compare editions (e.g., audiobook vs. paperback), and highlight hidden gems.
4. Is LitPicks free to use?
Absolutely! Accessing our recommendations costs nothing. We earn a small commission through Amazon’s Affiliate program if you buy via our links — but you pay the same price (and sometimes less during deals we track).
5. How often are new picks added?
Fresh recommendations drop every Monday morning. We focus on recent releases and updated editions to keep your reading list current.
6. Can I buy books directly from LitPicks?
No — we link you straight to Amazon’s product page for seamless purchasing. Our goal is to simplify your journey: discover on LitPicks, buy on Amazon in 1 click.
7. Do you store my personal data?
We prioritize privacy:
- We never see your Amazon account/payment details.
- We only collect anonymized browsing data (e.g., popular search terms) to improve recommendations.
