Amazon purchased BookSurge a while back. Although BookSurge has been a very negative experience for me in bookstores, I've been told that Amazon will promote BookSurge books now since it will profit them.

One thing I've noticed is that my book was discounted - then Amazon began to pair it will other books at a discount.

Now the first book "Malevolence" (a supernatural horror/mystery) was paired with made some sense. But now, it is paired with a book titled "The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property."

Huh????

How do these two titles connect??????

I find this strange...and kinda funny!

Yes, The Alley of Wishes is with booksurge and since they paired with amazon it has fared much better. But yeah....that is a very weird book to pair with malevolence. I wonder if booksurge chooses the books to put together?

I don't know, but someone's asleep at the wheel.

They probably pair up based on some complicated computer algorithm...especially if the pairings are changing.

Wonder what kind of algorithm they use for mine.

It's been paired with The Grass Dance for a long time, BUT has never been discounted since the merger.

My North of Texas is paired with The Disappearance by Philip Wylie on my listing, but not on Wylie's. While I am flattered, I don't get it.
