Getting started

After I figured out how to get the second review up and running, everything went well.

For Experienced Editors Only

I signed up to do this because I thought, I've got 2 master degrees, been an educator for over 25 years, I've read plenty of books, and written many research papers. I can write book reviews! But according to their standards. I was very wrong. The book selections that they recommend are actually pretty decent. Beware that the criteria for book reviews is extremely stringent, and it is not as simple as it is stated on their platform. There will be a person who will review your review. If it does not meet that particular person's idea of what a review should be, it will be denied. You will be told to correct it to meet their standards. But even when you meet every one of the criteria, it will not be good enough unless you are a professional editor. Today they banned me from the online book club. I wrote two reviews that were not accepted nor was I given any specific details of why it was not accepted other than it didn't meet their criteria. So I don't recommend anyone ever joining this unless you are a professional writer or a professional editor to where you have experienced doing writing reviews. Otherwise you're writing skills will not be up to par. All I got from a year of reading and two reviews were several interesting titles I may read in the future but on my own dime.

It isn't a scam i love this

It was surprisingly smooth yea i will admit i was scared it wouldn't work and it was a scam but then i i open my email and see i was paid i was shocked I tell u utterly surprised i recommended ppl immediately i love it

Thankful for the opportunities to learn more!

Onlinebookclub.org is a great place to find awesome books to read and because it's our purpose, to review the books thoroughly, it means i actually pay more attention to the story and every aspect of it. How is written, edited, does it have spoilers, is it suspenseful, etc etc. I completely pay more attention to the story as I'm reading than when i don't have to do a book report when I'm finished. I learn a lot more and for that in thankful!

I received the following email on the 16th May 2026: "WARNING: You were given a book in exchange for a review. These are not regularly free books. Someone is paying for the cost of the book to enable you to get a free copy *in exchange for* a review.

Before this email I'd never heard of them. 2) I've never heard of a book called Will of The Hill and I certainly don't have a copy. 3) Who is Marshall Cobb? I've never heard of them 4) How on earth did I get signed up to a website I'd never heard of or acquire a book I've never heard of by an author I don't know? 5) Why am I getting emails like above about something I know nothing about. Frankly if Onlinebookclub have sent someone a book then they need to contact whomever they sent it to via the address they sent it too and not send random emails out like above... I can guarantee it's not my address they sent a book to.

Online Book Club is perfect for readers…

La Crêpe: A sprinkle of Magic, A Book of the Day celebration

La Crêpe: A Sprinkle of Magic was my third book to be featured as the Book of the Day (previous books on 04/2021 and 07/2023), and I was absolutely thrilled by the exceptional quality of its presentation. Every detail was meticulously crafted—from a dedicated mention of my website to the inclusion of a delightful short video and the posting of the announcement to different digital platforms. The saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” came to life as Nisha Dsouza masterfully blended the book’s vibrant front cover with its most captivating story elements. The result was not only visually stunning but also instrumental in propelling the book to its highest achievement yet: reaching #1 best seller in its category on Amazon for two and a half days. I am deeply grateful to Scott Hughes, the Online Book Club staff, and all the passionate readers whose enthusiasm and support made this milestone possible.

The staff is excellent

The staff is excellent, responsive and informative. I like the system of getting my books in front of so many readers and will be using more of your advertising opportunities soon. Thank you!
