Abby’s comments from the Self-Published Only Club group.

Here are some of our reads I would encourage:

A Fairy Awesome Story
The White Prince
Micah's Goodbye
Living the Way

I can add some more this week.

Great review

And sorry everyone. I got locked out of my account this past weekend and I like to have never been able to get it recovered lol

I'm back though!

A Formerly Dark Mage is available on our bookshelf for your convenience. This book is available for FREE with Kindle Unlimited.

I'm doing it different this month. It seemed too confusing to have separate threads for progress, discussion and reviews. So i think lets trying lumping them all into one thread and see how that works.

Feel free to start A Formerly Dark Mage when you're ready, just be careful about reading this thread in there are spoilers.

Really Great insight Lana - and I think you are right about her being one to watch!

Since Ellie Aiden's trilogy Living the Way is our 4th quarter read, and so far most seemed to enjoy it, I thought I would give you all a heads up that she just released a new book.

A Fairy Awesome Story is a fantasy reverse-harem that I have already read. I gave it 5 stars & honestly it deserved 6 in my book.

I highly recommend if you like fantasy/fairies/smart-ass MC's/ or reverse-harems.

You can thank me later lol

I'm so excited to announce our next featured author is PK Morrison. Author of Micah's Goodbye Check back next week for her interview, & a giveaway! Woo-hoo!

Agree 110% 😍

It was close, but we have selected to read The Formerly Dark Mage

Start reading when you're ready, and I'll get the discussion threads going this weekend.

That's a good point Matt. I read her blog post about that. It really sucks that happened. I know not everyone is like this, but for me, when I'm reading from a new SP author, I try really hard to focus on the story. Does the author have potential? And if he/she gets enough visibility could she/he make it mainstream? Because it's then that they can afford to spend money and let other people do all the things for them.

Just my thoughts, but I do understand feeling pulled out of the story when you need to figure out what the author meant. That does suck.

Thank you!!!

I hate that you didn't like it. I guess we can't win them all lol but I do appreciate your opinions, and it's the really great thing about books; there's something out there for everyone!

Trana wrote: "I finished Living the Way. I haven't posted an official review yet (will do it later today or tomorrow).

I must say before I begin that I truly prefer big, thick books - something I can really sin..."

I certainly understand that. Just a matter of preference because I'm on the opposite side. I get bored too easily with thick books lol I like easy reads for the most part. I think the thicker they get, the more bogged down it feels.

But I appreciate your thoughts, and just goes to show, this is why there are millions of books out there to choose from. We all have different likes and dislikes, especially when it comes to books. 😍

I'm finding that that is Ellie Aiden thing. All her MC's are funny, which makes me think she is probably a hoot to be around!

Thanks Matt!

Here is my review for The White Prince. I also left one on amazon. Really good read for me!"

Great review, thanks Morgan

Based on her IG - it seems like she is very supportive of other authors. That's one of the things I like about you and her!

The month is almost over - so be sure to finish reading The White Prince ❤

For those that have finished - any final discussion on The White Prince

Since I accidently posted some book 2 stuff in book 3's discussion 😒 - any thoughts on Anna's relationship with Mateo?

So in book 2 we have split POV between protag and antag, in book 3 we get Anna and Luke, how did that change the dynamic for you, and did you like having Luke's POV?
