2023 Indie Review Program Selections!

Share Button

In this second year of the Indie Author Review Program, I was once again humbled by the number of nominations I received. Choosing which 12 I wanted to read and promote was not an easy decision as there are so many great books out there which do not get the attention they deserve. Some things that influenced my decision include: the Look Inside feature of the book (if available), description, and number of prior reviews (some books need more help).

The goal of this program is to buy and read at least 12 books by Indie authors and post reviews on Goodreads, LibraryThing, Amazon.com, and this blog. These books are also promoted through my Semi-Not-Horribly-Regular Newsletter and via social media. I have added additional features to most reviews (e.g., interviews with the author, articles about a pertinent topic, etc.).

A Few Notes

  • The purpose of this program is to buy, read, review AND promote the below selections
  • These are NOT one-for-one reviews (meaning: I did not trade reviews)
  • There was ZERO cost to the author
  • The selections are to be read in a random order, not in the order in which I received the nomination (this is a change from last year)

While I also review other books throughout the year, these are the 12 that I will focus on the most (and first). As reviews are posted, I will the links here (and elsewhere).
