Indies Unlimited does not review books, but we do have a couple of renowned reviewers on staff. We thought a great way to celebrate indie writing would be to ask those reviewers for their top indie picks of the month. We sent them a questionnaire that asked six questions:
1. What was the best indie book you read this month?
2. Seriously?
3. Are you saying it’s better than my book?
4. Did you even read my book?
5. Would you say my book was a close second to the one you picked?
6. Do you mind if I say it was a close second?
Evidently, they only had time to answer the first question on the survey. Oh well – soldiering on – here are this month’s top picks from our experts:
The Earthquake Doll by Candace Williams
“…a gripping coming of age story set against a unique backdrop of time and place.” – BigAl.
