I want to compile the ultimate list of actions that readers can take to help indie writers, and turn it into a PDF handout sheet. I know some actions cost money but there's a lot that can be done at no cost. Please comment with your suggestions. Reposting this would be lovely, too. Thanks! #Writers

Went to the library to pick up my next book club pick, and then I saw this. Love at first sight. So I came home with two books checked out and I think my TBR list is about to explode.

Whatcha reading today? I'm re-reading Terry Pratchett's "The Wee Free Men" since it's my book club pick for this month. After that, I'll go back to reading "Inspector Hobbes and the Curse by Wilkie Martin" then dive into "Hotel Fen" by Meri Benson.
