MARCH 4, 2021 (Thursday) We love it when readers MARCH 4, 2021 (Thursday) We love it when readers tell us that our books touched them or caused them to stay up late at night because they could not put our books down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. ❓QUESTION OF THE DAY: How do reviews from fellow readers or authors affect your choice of what you read next? https://fb.me/e/cWG2GIzrM Here are some things readers have said about our books: β€œI stayed up half the night reading this book, nearly one-more-chaptering myself to death!” β€”Suanne Schafer, author of Hunting the Devil about What’s Left Untold. β€œ...Generally, it's thought that honesty is always the best policy, so it's interesting to see a character grapple with the idea that this truism may not, in fact, always be true.” β€”IndieReader about The Disharmony of Silence. β€œBarbara Conrey displays a keen wit and strong powers of observation in this emotional and honest story about one woman’s lifelong battle with guilt and grief.” Indies Today 5 Star Review about Nowhere Near Goodbye. β€œAn enticing Downton Abbey-style saga, but set in India!”—Books By Women.org about Duty and Desire. β€œWith beautiful tenderness, Melony Teague has given us a window into the joy, sorrow, humor, and soaring love of characters that come alive. Be ready to have your heart stolen in this must-read fiction debut.”—Mikal Dawn, author of the EMERALD CITY ROMANCE series about A Promise to Keep. πŸ–‹ ❀️ πŸ–‹ πŸ“š πŸ–‹ πŸ“– #creative #fiction #womenwritingfiction #bookstagram #diversity #multicultural #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #bookworm #amwritingfiction #womensfiction #womensissues #storytime #desi #multiculturalism #culture #storytimethreads #writing #book #read #readingnook #amwriting #bookseries #bookclubofinstagram #currentlyreading #womensupportingwomen #womensfictionday #igbookreview #igreading #internationalwomensday
