Hello World! Myself and some friends are testing out a new book review group geared towards discovering and reviewing new authors. The basic idea is to provide honest reviews for new authors to help readers find their books. The group is aiming to read one published novel a month and share our reviews of those books on Amazon & Goodreads. If you’re feeling up for sharing, feel free to sign up here to get on our book review list. Please note the book must meet the form’s criteria in order to be considered for reviews.
For those interested in joining our book review club, check out the meetup here. After we review a book, the author is invited to meet with us and discuss the novel they’ve written. So get excited to talk shop with these new authors and discover what motivated their stories! If you miss out on it, don’t worry. I’ll be hosting a Briarpatch Podcast episode afterwards to share author interviews.
Without further ado, I’d like to announce our first ever book the group is reading The Keep by Bill Olson! Check it out on Kindle Unlimited. The blurb is as follows:
Stay away from the Old Manor.
Everyone in Town knows, if it lures you in there is no escape. No one returns. And yet despite this, the castle still calls victims to their doom.
The Town has lived under the shadow of this curse for so long, no one dares to dream of change.
One man tried, sacrificing himself in the attempt to free the Townsfolk from their grim reality.
His son, Grange the Younger, dreams of living up to his father’s legacy. When a stranger arrives in Town and scoffs at the tale of his father, Grange finds himself torn between preserving his father’s memory or protecting the Town’s hope for freedom.
Read it and join me in aiming to review by May 6th on the Goodread’s Community, Briarpatch Bookclub.
