Since December will no doubt be a busy month for us all, we will be doing independent reads this month. I sent out a direct message to the group with 5 SP books for you to choose from. I hope, if you have time, you will choose one or more to read, and then post your review here.

All 5 books are available on our bookshelf titled "December Independent Reads" I will also tag them here shortly.

Mel Baker (themelbaker) | 76 comments This is a great idea. I've read A Fairy Awesome Story - and as the title suggests, it's freaking awesome. so I think I might read The Man In The Bowler Hat


message 4: by Lanaloubooks (new)

Lanaloubooks | 20 comments This is the right decision for december in my opinion.

I had already bought A Fairy Awesome Story in softback and just hadn't had a chance to read it. So that will be my independent read this month.

This is a perfect way to go. I really enjoyed A Fairy Awesome Story and look forward to reading another from the list. Happy Holidays!

They are not Trana, but I made myself a note, and promise to get some historical fiction on our reading list asap!

I loved it too. I'm reading book 2 as an ARC now. It might be better than the first, definitely more action.

Happy Reading!

Rinda Reads (rindareads) I totally agree that independent reading this month is the way to go. I'm going to start with Black Hollow. I just downloaded a copy and can't wait to get started.

Can't wait to hear what you think

Lanaloubooks | 20 comments I'm in a fight with Amazon right now. For at least a month they haven't posted any of my reviews. I meet all their ridiculous standards, and I have KU. With that said I'm reading A Fairy Awesome Story right now, but might not be able to leave an Amazon review. I'll also try to read at least one more from the list before the end of the month.

How's everyone doing?


message 15: by Trana (new)

Trana Mathews (tranamathews) | 72 comments Don't think I'll have much time for reading novels this month as already had quite a few on my to-be-read list.

Also, I've heard back from my beta readers, so I'm very busy prepping book 2 for publication (probably in early January).

Thank you, P.K, for writing an extremely touching story with a much needed message. I was actually reading through the last chapter when my phone informed me of your comment.

It is a touching story. I loved the message, and the ending. Thank goodness lol I was worried about the ending for a minute lol

Unfortunately, stupid Amazon hasnt been letting me leave reviews recently. Typically, 2 out of 3 get denied. I have sent several emails to Amazon, and so far the responses have been less than desirable. I'm about to leave one on Goodreads though, and I'll keep trying on Amazon.

Thank you so much for reading and your review! It means a lot to me!

Jay Brown | 47 comments Here's mine for Black Hollow

Fair warning, I had just lost a close family member of mine when I started this one three weeks ago, so this one was hard for me to get through. I had to force myself to keep going, and in the end, I think it was kind of cathartic.

A great read that I would recommend, just be careful because it deals with the stages of grief, and has a lot of violence and shock value.

I wholeheartedly agree with your review, Abby. I especially related to the crying aspect. My reading was often interrupted due to blurry vision related to tears welling up.

I was intrigued to read Black Hollow because my favorite genre is psychological thrillers. And this one did not disappoint. Here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
