It’s time to wrap up the first annual (because I do believe this is going to become an annual event) #ReadIndie challenge! I hope all of you who participated had as much fun as I did!
For those of you who don’t know, #ReadIndie was a challenge to review as many indie books as possible during the first two weeks of December. I hope you’ll join us next year!
Don’t forget we still have a couple giveaways running, so get your entries in for The Bound Series by Stormy Smith and Never Never by Brianna Shrum while there’s time!
CHALLENGE RECAP
Christina interviewed S. Usher Evans about her book The Island, Stormy Smith about Bound by Duty, and there was an interview with Brianna Shrum on Cornerfolds. Joanne Macgregor shared an excerpt of her book Recoil & Layla Hagen shared an excerpt of her newest book, Your Inescapable Love.
