Haha, yeah it's not a surprise.. I didn't know they were creating their own site - I thought they wanted to just keep it as Facebook group. But by the time they launched, I was well into it, so I decided that I may as well finish what I started.
I like the spirit. I'll keep an eye on booklends. Hopefully it will be fewer romance novels and more good books.
But to your point - I've found that there is a surprising amount of romance/erotica novels on Amazon Kindle. I have my crawlers doing common searches, and it turns out that a large number (more than I'd expect anyway) of the books on there are of the shirtless-dude-on-the-cover type.
