In 2016 I started an experiment to provide a place for self-published authors to promote the books they read instead of the books they wrote. I wanted to give voice to all the authors engaged in writing and publishing their own works in a way that didn't cost money and didn't feel "icky." I wanted provide a value to readers who might be interested in the books that aren't on the bestseller lists, aren't being promoted by the traditional publishers, and yet are still worthy of finding an audience.

After a year, I'd run out of volunteer authors and juice to keep the site cranking out three reviews a week by myself. The site has been live ever since.

For this iteration, I stripped all the reviews from the original blog and published them in a static site to keep the content alive.

Some of the books are no longer available. Some of the authors no longer publish. But the self-publishing scene continues to grow and thrive nearly a decade later.

Maybe you'll find your next favorite author somewhere here on these pages.
