I was so excited to see this list. I’ve been introduced to a bunch of new Indie authors, too, and I love it! Can’t wait to read more. :3
Me too, Sammie. x
Thanks for sharing the semi-finalists. Most are new to me but I do some some titles I am curious about.
They’re all new-to-me authors!! The BBNYA is certainly introducing me to some great new indie authors.
