James Birch (jameswallacebirch) | 5 comments I'm down for this. Great idea. Are we making our books available free anywhere for those who want to participate (if we're authors) or are we buying? Just getting the 411. I am happy to make mine available free if anyone was going to choose it - but I also don't want to rock the boat, making mine available free and then messing w/ the whole lot of a fair and balanced system.

I read at least one indie book per week! For this challenge, I will read Discontents by James Wallace Birch from the bookshelf.

Writers gotta eat like everyone else :) I say purchase the book. What does everyone else think?

I agree. I have no problem spending a few bucks on y'all. =)

Michele Shriver | 2 comments I like this idea and would like to participate. I've added my new book to the bookshelf in case anyone wants to choose it and will be selecting a book to purchase and read.

S.K. Valenzuela (skvalenzuela) | 4 comments I added mine too! Looking forward to finding some great reads! :)

Peace,
S.K.


message 13: by Betsy (new)

Betsy Robinson (betsy_robinson) I added mine. I don't know if I'll meet the challenge by reading something by Dec. 21. I've got editing gigs (thank you, God!) at the moment, so all my reading is for work. But when the next plateau comes, I would like to participate in this. Great idea.

Tracy | 1 comments I love this idea! And I think I added my latest release, TIDES OF PASSION. It won the Reader's Choice for Best Historical on it's first publishing run. This time -- all Indie, which I'm loving! I'm a huge reader, too, and will try to get to one off the list this weekend.

Let me know if mine did not hit. I'm not savvy with Goodreads.

Happy reading, guys!

Mary Findley | 29 comments I just added this one by Shawn Lamb. Don't think she is a member of this group, but it is self-published, and I am reading it. Three Musketeers meets Scarlet Pimpernel meets Zorro, and I love them all. Enjoying it so far!
The Huguenot Sword by Shawn Lamb
btw mine are on the shelf, so I won't list them here.
