Christmas special: Indie Book Love

Welcome to our Indie Book Love linky!  This is a special linky to cover Christmas and New Year and the normal Indie Sunday Book Love posts will return in 2012.

Today I’m offering something very special for authors and voters:

1) Authors: The book with the most votes will receive free advertising on the blog from 5th January to 31st March!  The winner will get a 200×200 ad slot in rotation on the right sidebar.

2) Voters: Leave a comment telling us who you voted for and you could win an Amazon voucher worth $20!  The winner will be drawn on 4th January 2012.

The rules for authors are easy:

  • Leave your book listing in the ‘linky below’ (not comments).  The link can lead to any page where readers can buy that book
  • This time you can only post a link for 1 book
  • Share this post on Twitter, Facebook or G+
  • You can’t vote for your own book (or your book will be withdrawn)
  • The list is set to display randomly each time to give each author an equal chance to have their book seen

The rules for voters are even easier:

  • You can vote for more than one book
  • You can’t vote for any particular book more than once
  • Leave a comment with the book(s) you voted for and why to enter the $25 gift card draw

That’s it!  The author of the book with the most likes will be contacted in January regarding the free advertising.  The regular linky will return on 8th January 2012.

PS.  If you have problems posting and end up posting a duplicate, don’t worry – I’ll delete the duff one automatically, you don’t need to email.

Happy reading and happy holidays!

    I loved reading The Apocalypse Gene because of the way it starts out with a focus on one person, a young woman, then gets larger & larger as it keeps adding culture, relationships, danger, surprise, mystery, mythology, science and more, all at an ever-accelerating pace. The characters are up to something very serious, but humor still pops up in their dialogue. I didn’t want to put it down, and I didn’t want it to end.

    “Finder,” by Terri-Lynne DeFino, is an awesome read! A page turner with amazing character
    development and an extremely detailed, rich setting, I can already picture the movie. It is a
    happy discovery and I cannot wait for Ms. DeFino’s second effort!

    I voted for Timepiece.

    It’s a delightful juxtaposition of Jane Austen characters in an H. G. Wells situation, where the social constrainst of the Regency are as scary as maurauding robots and time travelers never seem to get the better of the Duke of Wellington. Characterization is superb, and the action is thrilling.

    I also voted for Like Mayflies in the Stream.

    It makes the age of Gilgamesh so real you can taste it, while giving us a satisfying inversion of the usual interpretation of the woman sent as bait…

    Remember Newvember was a fun book with some deeper ideas about personal growth and change, a great book to read during the Christmas holidays, or anytime, really!

    I voted for *Timepiece* because it’s steampunk that doesn’t feel like we’ve all been there and done that before. Also: giant clockwork robots.

    Remember Newvember was so much fun to read! I thoroughly enjoyed the protagonist and am still amazed at how much the character developed and grew in just a single book. Great work!

    Oh, I also want to cast a vote for LIKE MAYFLIES IN A STREAM which I read earlier in the year and it feels like 10 years ago. I love historical fiction that feels totally new, and this book didn’t feel dusty nor musty. It actually made going into the past feel like a trip to another planet: alien, strange, but dimly recognizable.

    This is a message to the authors whose books have garnered few votes. I’ve bought several books in the past few days after discovering them in this contest. So I may not have been able to vote for you above because I haven’t read your book yet, but you may have sold me a book because of your presence here.

    Hi, I voted for Greta’s Gerald and the Wee People and Jonathan’s Doodling. Out of the group of the books, they are the only two I have read… which means I need to read some more!! I enjoyed reading both books. Both stories are great adventures in fantasy places. One is a little more trippy than the other! I can recommend both :)

    I voted for LIKE MAYFLIES IN A STREAM by Shauna Roberts because she is a
    talented writer who’s style easily transports the reader into historically accurate settings.
    Her details give her stories a believability that allows the reader to experience all their
    senses as they live the adventures through her characters.

    Since this contest started, several titles have gone up that I’ve added to my ‘vote’ list.

    In addition to Apocalypse Gene (mentioned earlier), I’ve added:

    FINDER, original fantasy set in a richly woven world.

    THE SONG AND THE SORCERESS, epic fantasy featuring a great female protagonist

    LIKE MAYFLIES IN A STREAM, the legend of Gligamesh as it might have really happened.

    THE PRIESTESS AND THE SLAVE, chronicles the lives of two women leading very different lives in ancient Greece.

    There are several more titles that are on my reading list, others that caught my attention because they were included here. But unfortunately I can’t vote for those just yet. . .

    Thanks so much for hosting this even; it’s been fun!
