What indie books have I been reading this month? 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
I cannot talk enough about my love for the novel Vinyl. This is probably one of the most unique novels I've read in this genre, and I can't wait to read more from Sophia Hanson.
Fantasy/Romance Books
I can't help but love the fantasy and romance genres. I want fairies and I want people fallin' in love. Hence, the titles below! I highly recommend Now and Again by Jen Ellision.
At first glance, it's similar to my novel, These Are the Moments, but when you read it, the two novels stand alone. I enjoyed this so much and hope to see more in this genre from Jen.
Non-Fiction and Suspense
If you don't know who Chuck Wendig is, then you are missing out, my friend. I pick this book up every week or so to get a good laugh and great advice. I also picked up a suspense novel, Habit, to try and branch out in my reading style.
There you have it! The books I snagged for my shelf in February. Video to come soon.

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.
