I loved it too. I'm reading book 2 as an ARC now. It might be better than the first, definitely more action.

Happy Reading!

They are not Trana, but I made myself a note, and promise to get some historical fiction on our reading list asap!

I had already bought A Fairy Awesome Story in softback and just hadn't had a chance to read it. So that will be my independent read this month."

I think you will absolutely love it!

Um, yassssss that's definately up my alley lol - I'm currently reading a series from author Ellie Aiden, A Fairy Awesome Series. It's fairies also. I would highly recommend if you need a read for December. Book one is free to download on Friday.

Please email me both of yours, my email is abbygrass01@gmail.com

Micah's Goodbye

A Fairy Awesome Story

The Man In The Bowler Hat

Black Hollow

The Love Chest: The Miracle of a Christmas Tradition

Since December will no doubt be a busy month for us all, we will be doing independent reads this month. I sent out a direct message to the group with 5 SP books for you to choose from. I hope, if you have time, you will choose one or more to read, and then post your review here.

All 5 books are available on our bookshelf titled "December Independent Reads" I will also tag them here shortly.

I'll check it out this week

Hey, did you send this to me?

I'm behind, but I'll spend sometime looking at these this week.

Awesome.

Hi Bruce, so glad you joined us, and I'm sorry for my late response, between getting locked out of my account, and the Holiday, I'm a little behind.

If you will reply and link both of your books using the add book link just above the chat box, I will get your books added to our bookshelf.

There is a discussion folder specifically for SP/Indie authors. You can promote your works, ask for reviews etc in an existing thread within that folder, or start your own thread within that folder.
As for promoting other people's work, you can do that in any appropriate threads, and as often as you wish. I would encourage you to reply back with a list of books from SP authors if you don't already see them in our bookshelf, and I'll get them added.

I would also encourage you to join us for our monthly BOTM, and our quarter reads. This month, we are doing an independent read. A message to the group just went out, so check your inbox for details.

Again, I'm so excited you joined us, and look forward to getting to know you and your work.

Here is my review -
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I think you might be right Marc, about December and November being rough months for group reads, and that's why I decided to make a change to December. I'll be posting details later today.

As for The Formerly Dark Mage, I hate that it has so few readers from our group, and I wonder if people started and didn't finish, or just never started.

Yikes - has no one read the book yet?

Anyone else have any thoughts on this one. I should be finished this week.

The Countess of Haberlund and The Stagecoach"

Done!
