Sorry, Brianna, but I didn't know where else to post this but here, since it didn't seem to fit in any of the other topic categories. Feel free to move it where appropriate.

If you're a series lover or an author of a series and haven't heard of FictFact, you need to check them out.
For readers ... you can get notified when a series you follow releases the next book, keep track of books you've already read, and much more. If you're being inundated with too many emails from mailing lists, then this is a way to get notified of all your favorite series at one place. Make sure the author/series is on there. If not, add them to the queue or let the author(s) know to add them.
For authors ... if you don't use mailing lists like Mailchimp (and since Amazon's 'Follow the Author' takes around 3 weeks to notify a new release—at least that's been my experience), this is a GREAT way to still be able to let your readers know when your next book is out promptly.
If you're like me, I had the dilemma of not being able to use Mailchimp because I write under pseudonyms. Mailing lists like Mailchimp require your real name and address to be displayed (even if you don’t use a pen name, you still might not want your personal info to be known). I didn't want to go through the hassle of a virtual mailbox or creating a business entity, so FictFact solves my dilemma!
I just put this following note >> To be notified when the next book is released, sign up at FictFact << at the end of my book.
Since I had only found out about FictFact a couple of days ago, I don't have results yet to my theory of using this platform as a replacement for Mailchimp, but check them out for yourself and I’m sure you’ll see their value too.
*CREDITS* ... I found out about FictFact when I perused a Goodreads group called SOS: Serious Overload of Series. Thanks goes to the SOS group for sharing that info!
