Self-Published Reading Recommendations

Today is September 1. This is important for a few reasons. One, autumn is almost here. Yay!

Two: This year September 1 kicks off Self-Published Fantasy Month (which I am participating in). Now, last week I posted on Twitter about how good the Indie book scene is right now, and a whole bunch of people asked me to make a list of really good Indie fantasy reads.

I thought this was a good idea. I noticed this graphic I’m about to post floating around, and I thought, “why not make a list by filling out this chart?” So, here we are. I’m not going to say anything about any of the books (because there will be a lot of them). You can click on the link below each cover image to take you to the Amazon buy page (affiliate links help keep this website running, so clicking/buying from the links is a huge help).

A few things you should know before you dive in:

I did delete some of the categories, because a lot of books can fit under a lot of categories. Also, I’ve literally spent half a freaking day making this list and my brain hurts, so I figured I could give myself a bit of a break.Some of these books have been published with (very) small presses. I made sure they were small presses, but just in case, you should know.I tried very hard to make sure none of these books have been bought by big publishers, but again, my brain hurts and I might have missed some. Some of these categories are subjective. The “favorites” one is absolutely subjective, obviously. Another one that I think is highly subjective is the “Change” category. I based my choices in that category off of characters/world/magic/plot (some major element) changes and evolves dramatically throughout the book. I tried to list each author only once, but I think one or two of them might be on there twice.

Also, just a fair warning, I’m going to list my own two books on this post because I can.

And, we’re off!
