Hidden Gems: Authors You Need to Discover WRAP-UP

Hello all! My blog series, Hidden Gems: Authors You Need To Discover, is officially over! This is my wrap-up post!

So ... what did you think? Was it fun? Did you discover new authors? Should I do it again next year?

I want to thank all the authors who were willing to answer interview questions and give away copies of their books! You all are the best, and truly gems! ^_^ I hope this blog series helped, in some small way, to find more readers for your incredible novels!

Also, thanks to all the lovely bloggers who took part in this series! If you missed their book review posts, there are links below! So thanks, Deborah O'Carroll, Claire Banschbach, Soleil, Natasha H., and Faith P.!
