This year I’ve been quite anal in cataloguing my reading. Perhaps it fills some terrible void in me about which I should be talking to a psychologist, but it does bring some strange sense of pleasure to list everything down in an orderly fashion.
This year was also my introduction to the indie author and I thought it might be nice to finalise the year with a little indie scorecard to demonstrate how the knowledge of independent authors has informed my reading choices. So without further ado, I give you….the list!
And after all that, what is my indie tally?
32 / 59 books
So in 2011 I was 54.24% indie!
In 2012 I have set myself the challenge of reading and reviewing at least 38 books from independent authors. Of course, if I count up all the indie books on my “to be read” list and all of those review requests waiting for me to go through, I would have enough for several years of reading reviewing already, so finding the books is not going to be the problem.
May all my readers have a happy and independent new year. I’m looking forward to reading your work and posting reviews throughout 2012.
