I totally love this service I have found some very special new authors I would have never known about without this ARC site. Thank you for the introductions to so many new genres and authors.

Hidden Gems is a great place to find books to read and review! They make it so simple. Choose your genre(s) then receive emails with potential books. HG sends a reminder when the book goes live, and their form even finds the review without pasting in the link! It’s the easiest ARC site I use!

I do read arc for several authors but I have come to prefer Hidden Gems. I am able to choose only the titles that interest me. HG keeps track once it goes live and will auto find my review for me as well. It makes the process easier and less stressful. Good job!

Traditional Publishing Declares War on Florida Book Bans

For Authors | Ginger | May 26, 2023

Despite the rise of self-published authors, traditional publishers still hold significant influence, particularly in reaching school-aged readers and supplying books to libraries and bookstores. In some cases, that’s actually a good thing, as we’re currently seeing unfold in Florida. There is a legal battle getting underway in the southern state, between Penguin Random House (one of the “big five” traditional publishers), and a local school district that implemented a “book ban” that resulted in the removal of numerous titles from the library system. As Ginger explains, the outcome of this case can have far reaching ramifications regarding not only free speech and the power of books, but towards safeguarding our intellectual freedom as a whole.

Stella had it all. She was living her best life at college with her two best friends, Shelby and Grace, with her doting boyfriend, Jeff, by her side. The whole crew was part of the most successful band on campus, and they were about to make it big. With their headline act at the Spring Concert just around the corner, it seemed nothing could go wrong.

Out of nowhere, Adrian appeared. After disappearing without a word during high school and completely breaking Stella’s heart, he landed back in the center of her life. But he was nothing like she remembered. Stella soon discovered things weren’t as they seemed all those years ago. Just as she turned to Jeff for comfort, the future she has envisioned was pulled out from under her.

Lost and devastated, Stella must rethink everything. She must contend with the new version of Adrian being back in her life while facing the unbelievable tragedy that swallowed her and Jeff’s beautiful future together. While never expecting it, now is the time Stella truly begins to understand love, loss, and reinvention.
