Happy Pride Month!! 

​Pride is one of my favourite months of the year because the love, support and kindness in the queer community is just overflowing. 

To celebrate this month, I have a #IndiePride book bingo card available on my Instagram story highlights. You can play along with me @myendlessshelf.

​Sadly, I haven't read as many books as I'd hoped yet this month as I'm busy getting things setup for Spellbound's upcoming release (more on that very soon!), but here's a couple of books you might be interested in. Plus, keep an eye out later this month for a free gift from me to you 😊 🐺

April is a very special month for the indie community as we celebrate the work of indie authors. We read, lend, purchase, review, share, or highlight books written and published by independent authors and small presses. 

As an indie author myself, it's time to play my part and celebrate my fellow indies by sharing some really great books with you. I hope you choose at least one or two to read and enjoy! 

If you'd like more indie book recommendations each month, and to know what I thought of the books below, do check out Turn the Page: The Indie Book Podcast.

This week, I want to share a quick review for a book that I finished reading last week. 

I was scrolling through Kindle Unlimited looking for an eBook to read alongside my current hardback novel - I like to read hardbacks/paperbacks when I'm downstairs and eBooks in bed, simply for the fact that my poor face has had far too many heavy books dropped onto it and my Kindle isn't quite as heavy! Plus, the backlight helps. - and I stumbled across Ethan & Jag Destroy the World by Maz Maddox.

​The cover really caught my eye and the book sounded like a fun, light-hearted read, and it didn't disappoint.
