Self-Pub September Readathon Announccement

[@somberhoney]

this is so cool! if it's alright to promo myself, I'm a self published author and my first book turns 1 next month. it's a dark academia mystery novel called Revelry in the Dark, and I also published a companion novel for it called Jenny Was a Friend of Mine back in July. I also have a novella called Harbinger that's a genderbent retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher, it's a quick and spooky read.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@somberhoney Yes!! Please promote yourself and your books! Do you have an Instagram where I can follow you??

[@thepapertraveler1122]

Sounds fun! I’m already going to participate in Grozz’s Fall of the Indies so I’m looking forward to hearing what you’ll be reading.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@thepapertraveler1122 Thank you!! I’ll be posting what I’m definitely reading in my next video and in the video after that I’ll be talking about some other books and authors I’m interested in checking out!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Go Maeve. Looks like you are getting good response. Best wishes with it. Will check something out.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk Thank you! I’m really excited about it and if I can get a couple people picking up a self/indie published book, I’ll call it a win!!

[@BrianBell7]

Readathons are fun! I'm doing one right now in August. I recommend "The Blood Stones" by Tori Tecken if you or any of the channel viewers really enjoy epic fantasy that pulls no punches and is really well-realized. It's the first of what is a planned trilogy with book 2 likely coming this next year. I think you'd enjoy! You might also like "The Wickwire Watch" by Jacquelin Hagen. It's sort of gaslamp / steampunk with a Victorian flavor to it. I really enjoy it. Don't be nervous Maeve, you are great at this!

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@BrianBell7 Thank you so much for the suggestions!! I haven’t heard of either of those and I’m going to add them to my list of books to check out in the future! I’ll do my best to be less anxious in my next video. Thank you for the encouragement!!

[@TheLillyLibrary]

This is awesome!! I will try and participate in this challenge next month by reading at least one self published book! 😊✨

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@TheLillyLibrary Thank you!! I’d love to hear what book you choose!

[@TheLibraryMouseGina]

Oh I haven’t been in a readathon. I would try this if I can find a good list to choose from.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@TheLibraryMouseGina I will be listing some books and authors in my next video!! I’d love it if you joined! 💕

[@NovelteaCorner]

Sounds like fun!

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@NovelteaCorner Thank you!! I hope you join in.

[@fedebooks]

Hey this sounds fun! I really don't know a lot of self pub titles so it would be interesting to choose a few. I would keep my eye out for recommendations!

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@fedebooks I’ll be doing a video soon talking about all the self pub books I own as well as some that I’d like to check out in the future. 😊

[@ellenmadebookclub]

Fun Readathon! My plate is kind of full, but I hope people will join in! 😊 Also, I couldn’t find one awkward cut. I get the anxiety and feeling the need to apologize, I really do, but just wanted to say you’re absolutely fine!

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@ellenmadebookclub Thank you!! I think I notice my edits a lot more than others do. 😅

[@ellenmadebookclub]

@@Maeve_Ever_Books That's usually the case! But I've seen a lot worse, my own included 😂

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@ellenmadebookclub I don’t remember seeing any jumpy edits in your videos. 😂

[@ellenmadebookclub]

@@Maeve_Ever_Books Well there you go 😄

[@goodmornindreamer]

This sounds like a great Readathon! I'll try my best to participate I have a few ARCs on my list that I need to read that would work so well for this 🥰

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@goodmornindreamer Thank you so much!! I’d love to hear what’s on your list of things to read!!

[@goodmornindreamer]

@@Maeve_Ever_Books of course! I have an ARC for the Solstice Court by Jade Juniper which comes out on September 20th and then I'd really like to get to The Master's Trial by Michelle N. Hagood which is the 2nd book in her Royal Trilogy series

[@Chance.Dillon]

Oh I’m on board here! I do recommend Riven Earth if you love dark fantasy-other than that I think I may read cold west sometime here soon since it’s a Quick read

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@Chance.Dillon Yay! I’m so glad!! And Riven Earth by Zammar Ahmer??

[@Chance.Dillon]

@@Maeve_Ever_Books that is the one!

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@Chance.Dillon Adding it to my list!!

[@BooklessPete]

Sounds like fun! There's a few self-pubbed long running series I want to try at some point from Kindle Unlimited. Space Opera by J.N. Chaney, Douglas Michaels, & Jerry Boyd, as well as westerns by John Deacon and Robert J. Thomas. All contingent on other things though!

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@BooklessPete Kindle Unlimited is a great place to find selfpub books!! I hope you enjoy what you read!

[@FacelessBookReviews]

Thanks for the recommendations Pete... I'm going to go take a peak at some of these and see if any of them tickle my fancy. @maeve_Ever_Books I was able to pick up my copy of FOE from the library yesterday... I'm hoping to have it read by end of this month... keep an eye out for that video. Sounds so stinking creepy.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@FacelessBookReviews I'll be eagerly awaiting your thoughts!

[@FacelessBookReviews]

@@Maeve_Ever_Books Oh in that case I'll wait till next month to read it. 🤣 Hey I'm a sicko what can I say... Kidding I'll probably be reading it while reading my buddy read this week as we are only doing x amount of pages a day so if I still have it in me to read more I'm picking this one up.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@FacelessBookReviews Sounds great!! Buddy reads are a lot of fun but, I always feel like my partner is always reading either too fast or too slow. 😅

[@FacelessBookReviews]

So Grozz from The GKBC is doing something he is calling The Fall The Indie which is very similar to you. I'm doing 1 book every month for his thing and I will do 1 book for yours as well. I love self pub and indie books. You are doing this for Sept correct?

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@FacelessBookReviews How cool!! I’ll have to check out his channel! Thank you for telling me! And yes, I’m planning on doing this for the entire month of September.

[@Tetsujin-28]

This is a tough one. I already read The Sword of Kaigen, Promise of Blood. Maybe The Lies of Locke Lamora (Scott Lynch) or The Book That Broke the World (Mark Lawrence). GR lists these as "indie", but they also list Outlander which I do not believe is an indie author.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@Tetsujin-28 Hmmmm. I’m not sure if Scott Lynch or Mark Lawerence are considered indie authors but, I know Mark Lawrence created SPFBO to get more indie/self-pubbed authors out there and offer a chance for traditional publishing.

[@StephanieWhitson]

I can understand being nervous on video!

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@StephanieWhitson Thank you!! I just wish my excitement came across better! 😅

[@StephanieWhitson]

@@Maeve_Ever_Books it’s all good! I love taking part in Readathons and I love supporting my fellow indie authors!

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@StephanieWhitson Oh!! Do you have any links to your book/books?

[@Onceglassy]

Could you do an indie recommendation video? I don’t really have an indie books.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@Onceglassy Planning on it!! I’ve already filmed a video talking about some of my favorite Self/Indie books as well as all the ones I own and am planning to read(just need to edit it). And I’ll also be doing a video talking about around 50 other self pub books that I’m interested in checking out in the future! 😊

[@Onceglassy]

@@Maeve_Ever_Books I'm excited! I'll look into trying to get some from the library.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

@@Onceglassy I’d love to hear what you find!
