Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Indie Books (submitted by Nicole @ BookWyrm Knits). An indie book is one that is either independently published (also known as self-published) by the author or published through a small publishing company. With the invention of Kindles, indie books rose in popularity. I would say that at this point at least half of the books I read are indie books. Here are just a few that I recommend reading.

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Bookish People I’d Like to Meet. I’ve been very fortunate to attend quite a few book signings, so I’ve met the majority of my unicorn authors. There are still a few bucket list authors that I’d love to meet, though.

Happy Valentine’s Day, and welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week is a Valentine’s Day freebie, so I’ve chosen to highlight Books with “Love” in the Title.

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week is a freebie, and my chosen topic is Favorite Audiobook Narrators. When I first started listening to audiobooks I didn’t care for them. Either the narrator’s voice was annoying or just didn’t fit the character, or the acting was flat. I soon discovered that not all narrators are created equal and that vocal performance is a real gift. I have many go-to narrators now. Here are just ten of my favorites.

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2022. I still have my trusty one-click authors, but I really tried to give debut authors and new-to-me authors a try last year. I read far more than 10 new authors, but these are the ones that stick out in my mind.     Lucy Score – Things We Never Got Over, Rock Bottom Girl, and Maggie Moves On Freida McFadden – The Housemaid Annabel Monaghan – Nora Goes Off Script Bonnie Garmus – Lessons in Chemistry Katherine Center – The Bodyguard Julie Clark – The Lies I Tell Carly Fortune – Every Summer After Lauren Forsythe – The Fixer Upper Catherine Bybee – When It Falls Apart and Be Your Everything Farrah Rochon – The Dating Playbook and The Hookup Plan
