Hi - "The Opportunist" by Tarryn Fisher should be on this list too. She is an incredible author

Please only vote for Indie YA/NEW ADULT BOOKS ONLY! If you add books that are published by a pub, I will delete it. Thank You!

Thanks for letting us know this tidbit =)

Alright, here are the rules:
1. DO NOT ADD BOOKS PUBLISHED BY A PUBLISHER TO THE LIST. IT'S INDIE ONLY!
2. TO CLARIFY ABOUT WHAT KIND OF INDIE: YA OR NEW ADUKLT ONLY! DO NOT ADD EROTICA, BDSM CRAP ON HERE!
3. IF YOU DO ANY OF THE FIRST TWO, I WILL DELETE THEM.
Next, ya'll got to stop adding books. LOL! Every time I think I am going to catch up, there are more added. I can only read so fast, and believe me, I do read fast! But still, thanks to all who added some great books that I never heard of. I'm going on a Amazon shopping spree!

Also, I went ahead and removed books that were once indie but are now published by big publishers. I like to support the indie authors much as possible. And since the authors got pick up (YAY!) they are no longer indie.
I went through and removed what wasn't YA/New Adult. Is this series YA or New Adult? Let me check it out...
I believe you have to be the one that created it. Since I created the list, I can edit the books. I had to remove some since others were putting erotica and published book on here.
Just wanted to let you know I got to read "UNLOVED"by Jennifer Snyder last night. This is a very extreme book. It is very well written an soooooo worth the money.Thank you for having it on your list an thank you for creating your list
Whoops! Trying to use my phone and my fingers are too big! Accidentally added The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Great book, but not self-published. Couldn't figure out how to take it off the list...? Maybe it is just cause I am using my phone that I can't see it...
Sorry! :)
Sorry! :)
Not a problem, I'll removed them.
And anyone can add books as long as they are
(1) Indie
(2) YA or New Adult

Ok, it's a good thing I'm getting paid this week. I have some series Amazon shopping to do!! LOL. A big thanks to everyone who's added some amazing books on here. I can't wait to read them :)
This is a great list!
I'm removing a few books that were bought by big publishers (Slammed/Point of Retreat, On the Island, Beautiful Disaster, Thoughtless/Effortless, The Vincent Boys/Brothers).

I was wondering... you mentioned that the books shouldn't be published by a publisher, but the term "Indie" sometimes includes small presses... Is this list strictly self-published only?

So I bought 3 indie books last week:
The Boy Who Sneaks In My Bedroom Window
Eternal Eden
Callum & Harper
I'm slowly making my way through this list of books. I plan to read all of them on this list. (If that is even possible! LOL)
Just add to many at one time. LOL
Anyone bought any books from the list and like it?
Let me know :)

Savannah (Books With Bite) wrote: "Andrea, your right. I hadn't thought about that. Sure, let's add small press as well. :)"
OK, agreed. I guess now looking at the list that there are a few more books that should be removed?
Tammara Webber's books have a publishing deal in the UK/Commonwealth, but remain self-pub in the US. (should these go or not?)
the Amazon Children's imprint has picked up Angelfall and Flat-Out Love
there's also a book on the list with Entangled (that's not a "small" press anymore, right?)

Andrea,
Yeah, I've been thinking about that and thinking maybe I should remove them since there are pick up. Amazon and Entangled are big publishing houses, at least to me.

Thanks for understanding :)

Also, my list I started is getting popular pretty fast. I didn't think it would get so big. Thanks to all who show your support for awesome Indie Authors :)

Yes, I think now that they have been picked up they should go... I'll remove those then.
I'm still on the fence about the Tammara Webber books (selfpub except in the UK), what do you think?

Keep it, until it gets picks up. Which I have not doubt will be soon.
Thanks Andrea for helping me keep this list up to date :)

Alright, so I got Eternal Eden for free last night on Amazon and I'm not even half way done and bought the next two books in the series this morning. LOL :)

Nope, but the author's books Crash and Clash were just picked up by HarperCollins, so off the list they go :) (it's fun to see that most books on top of the list keep getting picked up by BPH!)
