My Top Four Independently Published Books This Year.....


What are yours?  


Now that we are eleven months into the year, I've been thinking about this.  So, in no particular order, here are my favourite four 'indie' books of this year.  

Drum roll.....

1923: A MEMOIR by Harry Leslie Smith

DUNGDA DE ISLAN' by Charles Dougherty

My reviews of all these are on the Amazon links :)

I am also very much looking forward to reading:

NORTHMAN by J D Hughes



and.....

THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO by David Ross


not to mention.......


COMING HOME by Chris Gallagher 



and.....

THE HIGHLANDER by Zoe Saadia



a special mention, for anyone who loves more girly stuff...

THE DATING GAME by Susan Buchanan



or if you prefer the psychologically thrilling, you could try 

HAUNTED by Maria Savva



One day when I have a lot of time on my hands I really, really want to get stuck into the fantasy world of 

LEIYATEL'S EMBRACE by Clive S Johnson




I hope you've found something to interest you there - and I'd love to hear what your favourite books of the year have been, and also the ones you recommend and are looking forward to reading.

There are so many more I am interested in reading or would like to mention, but I tried to just pick my favourites, ones I think may become favourites, or that might appeal to many others, too.

Thanks for reading this, too!

  2. I'm going to add those picks to my never-ending to-read list!! I have a few of them on my Kindle, I think. I'm currently reading The Dating Game, it's great, and I would definitely recommend it to chick lit fans! Thanks for mentioning Haunted :)

  3. I wanted to mention it as it is, of course, on my TBR list. My four top ones are really worth reading - you'd especially love Rathbone Kydd because it's so rock 'n' roll!! I've read the excerpts of Northman and I've been looking forward to reading it for a while :)

  4. I notice it's getting bought now!!! Hurrah! Now, keep that promotion up or you can tell Rathbone I won't be 'entertaining' him next time he drops back into 2012!!
