My Favorite Indie Authors – Top Ten Tuesday

September 8, 2026September 8, 2026 biblionerdreflections5 Comments

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday. This meme was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.

This week’s theme is an Indie Freebie. So, I’ve decided to highlight some of my favorite indie authors and the books that made me a fan. I’ve read quite a few indie books over the years, which made it hard to narrow down this list. My reading tends to skew more towards traditionally published books these days, but I do still love to check out indie titles that catch my eye. There’s so much diversity and so many cool ideas to explore. Without further ado, here are the authors and books I chose (covers link to Goodreads):

It’s a new month! That means it is time to share a new TBR. I’ve been a bit absent over the last week or two because my cat and I have both been pretty ill. Thankfully, we are on the mend. So, I’m going to try to stay on top of comments and blog hopping a bit better. Without further ado, let’s dive into my September 2026 hopefuls and a brief recap of my reading from last month!

It’s the end of the month, which means it’s once again time to look ahead to some great upcoming book releases. There are SO MANY books being published in September that I struggled to narrow this list down to 33 of them. I apologize to those that got left on the cutting room floor. Seriously, though. There’s lots of great stuff being released in the coming month, including new books from James Islington, Rachel Gillig, Aiden Thomas, R.F. Kuang, Freya Marske, Leigh Bardugo, and so many more. If you missed my list of August 2026 releases, you can find it HERE. Without further ado, here are 33 of my most anticipated September 2026 book releases (covers link to Goodreads):

Bridget & Gabe Are Not Okay – ARC Review

August 30, 2026August 30, 2026 biblionerdreflectionsLeave a comment

Hello, everyone! Today I’m reviewing Bridget & Gabe Are Not Okay by Lex Croucher. I enjoyed the first book, Gwen & Art Are Not in Love, and I was honestly a bit surprised to see it got a sequel. The story wrapped up pretty well in the first one, but I was excited to spend more time with these characters, nonetheless. Did I like this sequel as much as its predecessor? Read on to find out!

Books I Was Reading On This Day Over the Last Ten Years – Top Ten Tuesday

August 11, 2026August 10, 2026 biblionerdreflections4 Comments

This week’s theme is Books I Was Reading On This Day Over the Last Ten Years. This was such a cool topic. It was interesting to see how my reading changed in 2021 after I started blogging. Prior to blogging, most of my reading was Star Wars, which is pretty obvious from my answers below. However, I also went through an intense Asimov phase and read most of the Terry Goodkind books when I was younger, which also made an appearance in my answers. Without further ado, here are the books I chose (covers link to Goodreads):
