Here at ten million hardbacks, indies get a lot of love! Some of my favourite books have been discovered via the #ReadIndies hashtag on social media and the event hosted every February by Kaggsy’s Bookish Ramblings and Lizzy’s Literary Life so it seemed like a good idea to put all the reviews of indies in one place.
