I am now reviewing books for Reedsy Discovery, a UK-based platform that brings together authors, editors, reviewers, and readers of self-published titles. I’m sure I’ll post more about that later, but to celebrate this new adventure, which I hope will enhance the blog, I am sharing five five-star self-published books from their web site. Disclaimer: I have not read these books; I am sharing them based on their rating and the number of up-votes they have received. I am not including individual links for each book; you can search for them at http://www.reedsy.com/discovery or visit Amazon, Kobo, or Barnes & Noble online to search for them.
