Merphy: suggests Duel of Fire. Jenn: *looks at Merphy over her glasses* "But will you ever finish it?"

[@happyreadingwatching1597]

That series is so much fun & Jordan Rivet is working on book 2 of her spin off series :)

[@Sailortwilight]

Thanks for giving indie authors a chance to shine! I love to see good recommendations like these. :-)

[@therenegadebard3971]

If you are genuinely interested in indie, the SPFBO contest is a great source for quality fantasy.

[@fatimaachnine1318]

I always dream about self-publishing my own books😍

[@thiacross69]

Me too!

[@AM-ko4pi]

I recently read a self published book called Silvertongue by Casey White. I really really enjoyed it. I think you would like it too. There’s a lot of really great character moments and realistic feeling and paced character development. Also, it has a simple, but really creative magic system. I love it. Strong recommend.

[@Drocks12]

Thank you for making a book recs video for self published books. As an author of my first self published mystery book, this gives me hope that my book will be read and appreciated by people!

[@danecobain]

It's really good to see you using your platform to spread the word about self-published and indie books!

[@PartridgeQuill]

I just recently self-published my own book! It's a new adult comedic fantasy adventure about a ragtag bunch of hopeful heroes who hate one another. It's entitled The Mis-adventurers: An (Almost) Epic Tale. So far, the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive! Great video! I love seeing booktubers promote indie works!

[@tracey_bay]

I knew about these books (and read a bunch) but I'm glad you're showing them all again. Recommeding self-published books is always a good thing!

[@cwfcwfcwf]

I have bought Elliot's book and I'm really looking forward to reading it. :)

[@thewhiskybowman]

A lunar cycle (on earth) is approx 30 days. The time it takes to go from one phase of the moon (new, full, crescent etc.) to the next corresponding phase. So full moon to full moon, or new moon to new moon etc. Needless to say if it is a non earth based sci fi it could be whatever period the author wants it to be.

[@alysonserenastone2917]

I love getting recs like this! Self-published books really don't get the attention they deserve!

[@Opalescent]

Wooo! Great job giving the indie community some spotlight! I'm going to publish my book early next year, so to others like me who have dreamed of self-publishing, keep going!!

[@MaryAmongStories]

love this! thank you for the recommendations ^^

[@bookellenic1327]

I adore Peace and Turmoil! Duel of Fire has been on my radar because of you. Also I'm going to check out Running Into Happiness right now, sounds really good.

[@lisapickren6997]

This video is great!! I love where people show love to self published authors!!

[@claudiaroblesmenvielle1480]

Peace and Turmoil is one of my faves this year 💜

[@katiechampion116]

I just read Duel of Fire off of your recommendation in another video (maybe just one of your reading vlogs idk) and loved it! I had no idea it was self published.

[@JC-ev2ns]

Can’t wait for your new book!! Also you look absolutely gorgeous in this video

[@roselightz_3027]

This is giving me a reason to use my kindle unlimited subscription! Love that so many self published books are on there:)

[@bellis.2044]

A lot of these sound so good. I'm gonna go order some books.

[@mcsc370]

I absolutely love your recommendations. Duel of Fire has been on my TBR since you last recommended it. I just try not to buy books if I can but I’m not sure where else to get it from other than amazon...once I have funds to spare I will bite the bullet and order it!

[@allyson.m]

Cenote sounds awesome!

[@aukword6255]

Thanks for this excellent indie lineup. So much high quality and innovation is available from self publishers nowadays. I hope everyone enjoys these books. And everyone, please please remember to review the indie books you read. It's a crucial life line for most indie authors. Otherwise, we get swamped out by the big names so easily.

[@KariBare]

I read Duel of Fire, and absolutely loved it. I need to continue on as well. I just recommended it to a friend, and she is flying through the first one and is just as obsessed with the series as I am. :D

[@Leggatron2000]

I'd recommend Windswept by Kaitlin Bellamy, its the first in a self-published series called the Mapweaver Chronicles. Its a young adult fantasy focusing on the coming of age of Fox who begins to discover he has some magic despite the lands hes from being cursed from the gods generations ago. I thought the characters were all great and the world really develops, the sequel also really improves upon the first and the third comes out in the next couple months. One of my favourite self published finds of the year.

[@Leggatron2000]

amazon.com/dp/B07GJ6NYD2/ turns out the first book is free on kindle atm too for anyone interested

[@suzanneestep2464]

Excellent series recommendation i never see anyone recommend. The Elemental Mysteries Series by Elizabeth Hunter, it starts with A Hidden Fire. Incredible world building and characters well fleshed out. And she has several stand alone and series spin offs from this series.

[@davids2735]

The 2nd book "Orbit" in the Theonite series is actually out already since you really enjoyed the first one! Also, M.L. Wang has an adult fantasy set in the same world called Sword of Kaigen. I haven't read it yet, but I've heard from numerous reviewers that I trust that it is great and plan on reading it soon.

[@KevinBondelli]

I read that whole Jordan Rivet series and I was beyond impressed with everything she does right. It has an interesting and well-developed magic system, the characters are deep and allowed to fail (with serious consequences), and addresses themes like family and politics exceptionally well.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

My only sunshine sounds so so good

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I wish more booktubers were willing to read and review indie books. Some of my favorite books are Indies so I'm sad when readers aren't willing to try Indies

[@luxuryliterature1930]

Duel of Fire sounds so interesting.

[@oldchannelnotinuse8801]

Self published books can be the best ones out there. Just thinking about all the work that went into something I'm reading makes it more enjoyable.

[@wheneverythingmeteveryone2764]

I have read one on kindle named ASCENDING WITHIN BY NAVI.

[@ixeh]

Have you read Sword of Kaigen by ML Wang? It's a standalone and a bit of a prequel to her theonite series. An adult fantasy novel and one of my favourite books I have read this year. Also one of very very few books that made me cry like a baby.

[@lytalo]

You might look at Eric Lahti’s Henchmen series. I would call it dark urban fantasy, it’s interesting for a indie writer.

[@chrishuber2768]

You should check out the Ratcatchers Series by Matthew Colville. He's a couple books in now (Priest and Thief) and I really enjoyed them so far. They have more of a dark gritty feel to them than standard high fantasy.

[@Maxificent]

Have you read or heard of "The Invention Of Fire" by Bruce Holsinger? It's a neat bit of historical fiction that I thoroughly enjoyed despite not being well versed in the genre. Would recommend!

[@brainsniffer]

I’d be interested in your take on Will Wight’s Cradle series. I think they get better with each book, and they’re re-re-re-reads for me. Rachel Aaron’s Heartstriker series is another I love. They’re just two unique authors in fantasy I can’t get enough of.

[@belleah5562]

You should read The Sword of Kaigan, the stand-alone adult fantasy prequel to Theonite. I think you’d enjoy it a lot!

[@ArgusStrav]

Agreed.

[@alexalevon4885]

I’m writing a book currently and I want to know what characteristics you are tired of seeing in books?

[@believeme6707]

Self published poetry books if interested. 1) Haiku World by Kuo Kenih 2) To be young and in love by Kuo Kenih 3) Flavor by Kuo Kenih. All books are available on kindle unlimited.

[@lostinabookcase3796]

"I'm obsessed even tho I haven't finished the book!" I getcha ;)

[@brandikesson5416]

just picked up my only sunshine

[@brandikesson5416]

reading duel of fire now cause of u

[@johane.turbib.8108]

I love you Merf 10/10

[@Trustworthy_McLegitimate]

aww... Theonite has no audible... Duel of Fire has audible though. Good ratings too. Gonna try that.

[@parthibanathimuthur1473]

I'm typesetter from India (freelancer) I Do book and cover for very low cast which is your budget.

[@SunriseFireberry]

I dunno what I think exactly re SP books. I've noticed that u or utube lists ur no. of subs in terms of 61.7K not eg. 61700 or or 61748 or 61799 of a day or 2 ago. It doesn't matter a whole lot either way but I'm just wondering, did u make the change, or utube?

[@VhorKizzy30]

I read My only sunshine. For me it was good but not great. I also read On lina time and loved it! I really want to read more from these authors. And I want to read peace and turmoil but I prefer to read fantasy in my native language. I m to scared to start it in English. So cross my fingers maybe someday there will be a Dutch version...

[@brainsniffer]

Wait... you said you weren’t going to mention any from your last video... “these are new fresh self-published recs” and then two were from the last video. I went back to watch it 😛

[@abhisheksinghchauhan4571]

I recently read a good book, would you like to review it. Beyond the book: A suicide mission by Aditi Chauhan. It's written by a teen still in school.

[@marelizalde7207]

Where's the link of the channel of your friend?

[@dspprince]

Do you like cool action high fantasy books that take place in a world similar to the ones found in Dungeons & Dragons, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Conan the Barbarian, Elder Scrolls, Warcraft, Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, The Wheel of Time, Dark Souls, etc? One of the new indie authors during the past year is from the Middle East, and he wrote a pretty awesome novel for a 1st one, set in world full of various races, kingdoms, magic, creatures, cool items, and a pretty fantastic history & lore. It's called "The Chosen Rainheart" by Bader M. Alsadeqi.

[@andrewgoncalves4204]

You are stunningly beautiful!
