We’re now at the end of our extended #ReadIndies month and bit, and it’s been quite wonderful to enjoy so many books from amazing indie presses; and to see what everyone else has been reading! I hope you’ve all been leaving your links on the Mr. Linky page! 😀 I had a pretty great month of reading in February and here is the pile:
The observant amongst you will notice that a. not all of those have been reviewed yet or are indie publishers, and b. all the indies I reviewed in February are not on that pile… You see, I tend to be a bit behind in my reviewing because I usually read quite quickly, and so I started reading for February in the middle of January! Even so, I didn’t read all the books I wanted to for #ReadIndies, and here are a few which got away:
There are so many interesting titles there from so many interesting indies – I shall have to stop them dropping down the TBR because they all sound fascinating!
As for what’s in store as we continue through March; well, there will be reviews of the books you can see in the top picture which haven’t yet made it onto the Ramblings. I’m hitting the busy time of the year at work, so there may be a lot of comfort reading creeping in. And of course there are a few reading projects I haven’t been near for a while, which means that this little pile is calling to me…
Will I get near to any of these soon? That remains to be seen….. ;D

Congratulations on a brilliant event! I loved the breadth and flexibility of it – very much appreciated, especially in the current times. X

It was such fun, and yes – such a flexible challenge which I agree is essential at the moment!!
Mar 07, 2021 @ 09:18:35
Lots of great books there 🙂
Mar 07, 2021 @ 11:22:54
It was a happy reading month! 😀

Such a shame when work gets in the way of reading!
Mar 07, 2021 @ 15:28:27
It is – reading is so much more fun…
Mar 07, 2021 @ 12:21:21
A very enjoyable set of posts. Thanks for introducing me to several indies I’d not come across before.
Mar 07, 2021 @ 15:28:00
Most welcome – there are so many out there, and I only know a fraction of them myster, I fear…
Mar 07, 2021 @ 13:31:05
A wonderful idea and a thoroughly enjoyable event to take part in. Best of luck with the upcoming workload.
Mar 07, 2021 @ 15:27:40
It was fun, wasn’t it? So much nicer than working…
Mar 07, 2021 @ 14:37:00
Well, that was fun. I only managed to get three reviews in but I read a couple more and, of course, there were many more I had hoped to read.
Mar 07, 2021 @ 15:27:24
It was a really enjoyable event and I’m glad you got to read some indies. Don’t forget we’ve got the 1936 club next month…. ;D
Mar 07, 2021 @ 16:00:50
I was looking at some 1936 books yesterday. I may choose something a bit different (for me) this time.
Mar 07, 2021 @ 19:43:24
Excellent! Look forward to seeing what it is!
Mar 07, 2021 @ 19:56:53
I may change my mind though. 🙂
Mar 07, 2021 @ 19:59:17
;D
Mar 07, 2021 @ 20:41:31
Enjoying all the diverse reads! Next year maybe I will participate.
Mar 08, 2021 @ 10:28:35
It’s such a lovely event, and so many books and publishers to choose from!
Mar 07, 2021 @ 20:42:29
Read Indies was a really fantastic reading event. Such a huge variety of books to choose from, it made it a fun and easy one to take part in. Good luck with the coming workload, I hope you can carve out some relaxing reading time when you need it.
Mar 08, 2021 @ 10:21:31
It was great fun, and I loved the fact it was so varied! As for March – I think that’s definitely going to continue to be dominated by comfort reading!!

Thanks so much for running this – I love reading challenges that are so open ended and can be done from the shelves. And plenty more of options for years and years to come!
Mar 09, 2021 @ 15:45:18
Agreed – I love a reading event that doesn’t tie you down (which is why our clubs are so good!) And I do feel it’s really important to be supporting indie presses, too.
Mar 08, 2021 @ 23:35:56
I always said work interferes with the lifestyle.🙂 I get dizzy with how many books you read! Such good selections.
Mar 09, 2021 @ 14:34:54
It does – one day I’ll manage to retire and then I can read even more!!!
Mar 09, 2021 @ 16:20:36
I loved taking part in ReadIndies and still using the hashtag now! Thank you for co-organising it. Am I too late to add my reviews to the linky?
Mar 10, 2021 @ 11:53:19
It was a lovely event, and it’s great to support indies – I shall keep reading them too! I don’t know if Lizzy will update her index any more, but add to the linky if it’s still live and then at least people can see your review!

Really enjoyed this event even if I didn’t read anywhere near the number of books I was hoping to. I should learn from your practice and begin reading earlier in the year!
Mar 11, 2021 @ 20:47:38
LOL! I definitely always have to start early for these reading challenges or I can never keep up!
Mar 12, 2021 @ 20:39:24
There are always a few that get away, aren’t there. But, in this case, there are probably hundreds of them, only the rest weren’t in your photo!
Mar 12, 2021 @ 21:00:37
There are *so* many indies, and I think our event really brought that home to me. Hopefully next year I can explore even more widely!
