I decided to read and review a few indie books on top of my regular reading this year.
Since I have become an active part of Twitter's #writingcommunity, I have also become aware of how many indie books are published all the time. Some of them sound quite promising and I feel like they deserve more love.
So this year, I am going to read a few #indie books on top of my regular reading list. This blog post will be updated as I find more of them and I will also review the ones I enjoyed. As I read quite widely this is going to be quite a genre-mix. Find below a list of #historical and #contemporary #fiction books as well as several #fantasy and #speculative fiction books that I will eventually write blog posts about!
