    For people who know the issues with Patreon recently - sponsors are being charged more and creators receiving less - it won't be a surprise that we are moving away from them. The Patreon model hasn't really worked for us, as we were really looking more for a tip jar than a regular subscription thing.

    We've started looking at a new startup, Ko-fi, which allows visitors to tip the price of a cup of coffee. This appealled, not jsut because our reviewers go through a lot of tea and coffee, but also because visitors don't have to sign up to Ko-fi to tip, they can just use Paypal.

    It also means we can remove another wordpress plugin to try and help the site speed.

    Our texst page is at Buy Bookangel a Coffee. ko-fi.com/bookangel.

    What we can't find yet is how to reduce the price to £2.25 so it is actually a coffee, instead of a flat rate 3 dollars or pounds.

    The button is now live in the sidebar, and may be added to the footer at some point when I'm up to it.
