The books need reviews to encourage readers to take a punt, but until people read them there aren't enough reviewsStephanie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071958445763105060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035320497400006300.post-89392871816903047272017-01-20T08:21:18.843+00:002017-01-20T08:21:18.843+00:00As someone who reads indie as well as publishing h...As someone who reads indie as well as publishing house published books, I really liked this post! Similarly, I mostly get to indie books through review copies. But Goodreads and prior reviews are my main method of knowing whether it could be one for me or not!Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035320497400006300.post-11509360329616499252017-01-11T16:45:50.343+00:002017-01-11T16:45:50.343+00:00The sheer variety of indie books can often be over...The sheer variety of indie books can often be overwhelming!Stephanie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071958445763105060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035320497400006300.post-15001634091418723932017-01-11T16:44:23.195+00:002017-01-11T16:44:23.195+00:00Thanks Laura!

I would like to read more, but I guess I don't know how to pick them for the most part haha. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I also do a lot of indie book reviews and normally, I accept most requests that come in just because I know how valuable honest, unbiased feedback is to authors. I definitely agree with you on the covers and the writing. I don't mind if a cover is obviously indie but there should be some effort there. Not everyone has the eye to be a graphics designer but we all know what looks nice. Proper grammar is a must! If their whole craft is writing, I take their submission grammar to be a reflection of the whole book.<br /><br />I love reading your indie book reviews as I'm always looking for new obscure books to try! You never know where you might find that gem :)<br /><br />Laura @BlueEyeBooksLaura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035320497400006300.post-68533725473554175862017-01-08T16:57:50.095+00:002017-01-08T16:57:50.095+00:00Hopefully my reviews can point you in the directio...Hopefully my reviews can point you in the direction of some good ones!

I’m terrible at finding readable indie books.<br /><br />Aj @ <a href="http://ajsterkel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Read All The Things!</a>Aj @ Read All The Things!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02860483414620371093noreply@blogger.com
