Bonnie Reads and Writes
Book Reviews, both traditionally published and Indie. Indie Authors are welcome and celebrated here! I do Indie Book Reviews and promotion on my Indie Spotlight feature. I will also share photos of my life in the Smoky Mountains, and my husband and I dabble in writing from time to time under the name Bonnie Douglas. See Review Requests tab for guidelines about submitting reviews.
