Delayed payment
April 22, 2024

My check hadn't arrived well beyond the payout date. Once I left a negative review, they reached out and reissued the payment. I would sell books to them again because they paid higher than many other companies.

Over the Moon
April 22, 2024

I didn't think I'd find an affordable copy of this book but BooksRun had it. It came three days before I projected looking for it in the mailbox, and the book itself, "A Map of Home" by Randa Jarrar, was a huge kick in the butt. (Palestinian-American writer to watch, if you are interested.) She's at the center of the current PEN America brouhaha. Right on for BooksRun for being smart enough to sell her book! I'd buy from them any day.
