I wonder how well this would work as book advertising. Wonder how successful google ads would be/are. I have also been influenced by Amazon suggestions on occasion. I also am influenced by holiday gift book roundups including the New York Times Book Review and NPR. I would be interested to hear publishers and other marketers on social media advertising effectiveness.
