A Year of Great Literature

I've read and reviewed some awesome books this year and it's the perfect time to share a few of them with you. It's also a perfect time to fill-up that new eReader with great eBooks by emerging authors. No worries if you don't have an eReader. Free apps let you read eBooks on your phone, tablet, or computer. Even though I love my Kindle, I often read on my phone with the Kindle app for convenience on-the-go.

I read an eclectic mix of genres. That's reflected in my list. I'm not doing a Top 10, or a Best Of list. These are all great books from a wide range of authors, so you are sure to find something here to love. Many are by Indie authors, some from small presses, and some from the big houses in New York. I love great writing regardless of genre or how it was published, so you will find everything from young adult to erotica to non-fiction. Enjoy.

I know I'm leaving out many great books and great authors, but these were some of my favorites this year. Many of the authors I mention are multi-published and I look forward to reading and reviewing more of their work in the coming year. I also have new authors loaded on my Kindle, but I haven't found time to read their books yet. So many great books - so little reading time. Load up your Kindle or reading app and enjoy the new year!
