November Is Adopt an Indie Month - Giveaway Day #1


The great thing about reading is that there is a book out there for everyone! Humor, horror, or hot romance - books have it all. There are a ton of great titles out there that are not represented by the big publishing houses. Some people might feel that these books are of lower quality, but I hope you are not one of those people. Writers pour their heart and soul into their work and all they want is for someone to give their book a chance. A writer with the hundred thousand dollar contract feels the same way...

This week I will offer chances to win some terrific Indie books. They range in age range and genre, but most are young adult. Please visit the Goodreads page and the author site to learn more about these titles. Feel free to comment below if you recognize one of these great books.

Find out more information about Adopt An Indie Month HERE and read one soon next! I am featured on this page, stop by and wave.
