Read An E-Book Week! March 6 - 12, 2011


It's READ AN E-BOOK WEEK

March 6 -12, 2011

Check out READ AN E-BOOK WEEK site so you can find out all the activities that are happening this week with different authors and E-Book publishers

Do you read E-Books? I don't know what I'd do without them! I've read many e-book authors who started with the small publishers like 6+ years ago that are now still writing for the small publishers as well as the big print publishers like Kensington, Berkley, etc. And I love going each week (make that each day!) to small E-Book publishers to find new ebooks and authors and reading them. Many of the reviews I post are from them! Some authors are re-releasing their backlist too!  Then authors who write independently and sell at many ebook distributors have been awesome reads. Here are some books/authors that I recently  discovered. Some indie, some re-released Amazon, BN, ARe and Smashwords, Fictionwise and many other ebook distributors.

And so many more that I read and recommend! This is just a start of some variety of historical romances from the indie releases!  Since I love reading historical mysteries (they have awesome romances that grow over the series), I so wanted to read these re-releases (previously been in print for years but they re-released in sky high prices in ebook) Six Sisters and The Traveling Matchmaker Regency Historical Mysteries/Romances of M.C. Beaton/Marion Chesney but due to cost of them almost $10 an ebook, I have to pass them on.  But in the search I discovered M. Louise Locke's Victorian San Francisco series! She writes as an independent author, and I'm waiting for more!! 
Dandy Detects: A Victorian San Francisco StoryP. B. Ryan's Gilded Age Mysteries.Murder in a Mill Town (Nell Sweeney Mysteries (Gilded Age Mysteries))She re-released hers at $2.99.  Awesome deal! So search out there! Try new to you authors. Try out Smashwords (they too let you download samples so you can get a feel of the authors writing).  Amazon has this as well. Check out all the small ebook publishers of all different genres! (I so wanted to list books and authors from all the small publishers but knew that I wouldn't have room for that!) There are so many out there, that I suggest you go to READ AN E-BOOK WEEK site and E-BOOK CROSSROADS and they have a huge list there as well to help you start, they have some links there. I am so glad I did!

Have you discovered some historical romances authors/books. I'd love to hear your recommendations!  I only stuck with historical romances because I could list so much for so many of the different genres! There's so much good out there for you to enjoy reading.  Enjoy discovering and experiencing the new authors and reads!
