January 2016 Topics!

Great choices!




I'll struggle with the self-published week because I haven't read any, do you think it'd be okay to change it to indie books I'd like to read?

YESSS!!! Been binge watching the past few days, only a few more episodes to go and all caught up for the new/final season! =)

(The other topics are good too!, January is going to rock!)


I was wondering the same. :/




don't worry! I just made my first post last wednesday and it's not really that great! geekishbooks.wordpress.com if you wanna check it out :)

You guys were wondering how to tell if a book is self published... It's a little tougher then it use to be because some of the smaller publishers aren't getting ISBN's for their ebook only books now, and self publishers are sometimes creating their own small indie companies so they look more pro... so basically it's getting to the point where you probably have read an indie book but you didn't know it unless you are active in the indie community and actually looking for that sort of thing.
For physical books you can check the inside where it lists the publisher and most indie published books will just list the author as the copyright.
Also on the amazon page the publisher will be listed and usually the publisher will say the authors name.
You might also check their website. Sometimes they will say so on blogs, podcasts, or other areas.
You can also google "best selling self published books" and find lists of self published books that hit the top charts.
(or you can just read my books ;) KIDDING! )
