Now that you've seen my 5-star rated reads from 2021, it's time for me to share my 2022 alphabet reading challenge - indie authors only! An alphabet reading challenge can be set up many ways, but in my case, I follow the suggestions my mother gave me in high school. For this challenge, the suggestions are: -Only choose authors you've never read work from before. -Use the first letter of the author's last name (organized like the library system) -Pick one book per letter of the alphabet (26 books total) -*My bonus for 2022: Only pick indie authors.* This challenge is in addition to traditionally-published books and new books by indie authors I already love that I plan to read in 2022. The goal of it all? To find new authors I love, and support indie authors in the process. So, without further ado, here are my picks for 2022:
So there it is: my list for the 2022 alphabet reading challenge - indie authors only.

Sign up for my newsletter HERE to stay in-the-loop, and I'll send you a free copy of Splitting Dusk: A Splitting Worlds Novella as a bonus! Today I am super excited to share the complete list of my 5-star reads from 2021! As a Reedsy Discovery Reviewer, I get many requests for reviews all year long. Many of my 5-star reads this year came from Reedsy Discovery! Others I found through "Bookstagram" or recommendations from other authors, or I edited them pre-release for the authors and then read the completed versions. From Middle-Grade Fantasy to Adult Dark Fantasy, I have a wide variety of books to choose from, so maybe you can find some for your TBR list, too! Without further ado, here are my 5-star reads from 2021 (in order of date reviewed):
So there you have it: all of my 5-star reads from 2021!
