It has on many levels. Before book blogging, I had never really taken an interest in reading books beyond Big publishing houses but through book blogging learned there existed self-published authors. Authors that just want to get there books out there. To me that says a lot. That these authors are willing to stick their necks out to readers in hopes that we'll love their books. That's bravery. A few of the books I have read that are self-published books are The Fallen Star by Jessica Sorensen. She sure can write and secretly I'm a one of her I bet many fans (not so secret now). And proud of it. Then there is R.J. Gonzales with his Mundahlia book which I did a review here on the blog. So yeah, book blogging has changed the way I read. Have grown to discover the world of Indie and self-published authors.

First year participating in Book Blogger Appreciation Week!
Hi Cassandra, I stopped by after reading your feature on Tracy's Treasure of Books and saw that you are a participant in the BBAW. yes, I agree. book bloggers have definitely given self published and INDIE houses a place to voice their stories.

Great post!! :D haha Thanks you so so much for all you have done!!
ReplyDeleteGood point, as I would never have looked twice at self-published books and indie houses before I became a blogger!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting that book blogging helped you laern about self-published books! I don't read many s-p books, but there are a surprising amount of good ones out there.
