Every 2025 Indie Ink Awards Finalist I Read
Hello, readers! WriteHive gave me the privilege of being one of the judges for the 2025 Indie Ink Awards this year! The 2025 Indie Ink Awards is a book awards competition for indie authors. I also had the amazing experience of being a judge for the 2024 Indie Ink Awards, which was also an amazing experience. Given that I read many books this year, I thought I'd share which books I read and what my thoughts were on each one!
