What indie books have I been reading these past couple of months? Glad you asked. See below for a list of books I bought and/or purchased last month. (If you're new to the #GoIndie2016 challenge, read this first.)
Post-Apocalyptic Novels
In March, I read Rise of the Six and loved the heck out of it. I'm trying to pace myself before I jump into the rest of the series, but I can't wait to get my hands on them! Also, I picked up Dreamlander by my girl, K.M. Weiland, so I'm looking forward to that too.
Fantasy/Romance Books
My new friend L.S. Mooney has written an amazing new book called Throughly Modern Mirella, and I'm beyond thrilled to add it to this list. I also really enjoyed the audiobook version of Love Beyond Time, which was very Outlander-ish. (Yes, that is a real term.)
Suspense/Adventure/Graphic Novels, oh my!
How could I say no to an indie graphic novel? Tomboy was an amazing read and I would love to read more like this in the future. I also read Secrets Don't Keep by my friend, Elora Nicole, and was enthralled. If you liked Gossip Girl, you need to get your hands on a copy.
There you have it! The books I read and bought in March and April. Well, mainly March. April was a bit of a break month for me.

Can you believe it? 2016 is almost over. It feels like a blink ago that I pledged to read only self-published and small press books for the entire year, and now, thirty books later, I'm almost done!
Was it hard to find quality, self-published books? Yes and no. No, because I've become friends with authors in this scope. Yes, because traditionally published books have such a huge push behind them. At the beginning of the year, BookBub was a great resource for me. And now that it's grown, about 2/3 of the books on my daily news are from big publishers.
Even on Amazon, the books that I'm seeing the most now are the ones from Amazon's own imprints. This isn't a good or bad thing, but it just goes to show you that the publishing industry is always changing. For authors like myself, it helps to just stay the course. Keep writing. Keep adapting.
Okay, ready for the big winners of this year? (In my book, at least.
