Site Purpose

#ReadIndies is an annual event hosted by Lizzy of  Lizzy’s Literary Life (Volume Two) and Karen of Kaggsy’s Bookish Ramblings . The purpose is to support independent publishers of all shapes and sizes by reading and reviewing their books, hopefully generating larger audiences for their catalogues. The event has been running each February since 2021. This site will hold all the annual indices for reference to any who are interested in searching out their next independent publishing read.

With reviews of titles published by 72 publishers and profiles of 14 more from America, Canada and Australia, the blogging world certainly showcased its enthusiasm for independent publishing! Thank you everyone for supporting the event with such passion.   I hope the scrollable index below is complete. If not, let me know in comments and I'll add any missing reviews. Technical note: The index should be compatible with most browsers. It is a bit flakey with Safari, so I'm using Chrome on my ipad and that works just fine.
