Tell Us A Little About You.
@ThePagesoftheMoon: My names Sofee, I live in South Wales with my boyfriend and little sausage dog Pickle! I didn’t start to actively read again until about 3 years ago when I discovered the series “of blood and ash” I was HOOKED! I read a fair bit as a child but it trailed off as a teenager, now I don’t go a day without physically reading something or listening to an audio book, i am a BIG horror movie fan, which has quickly spiralled into reading horror books, the scarier the better, I seek that THRILL!!
Tell Us A Little about your Bookstagram account And How It Got Started.
@ThePagesoftheMoon: I decided to start my Instagram to find like minded people, I was suddenly reading more than I ever have and I was desperate to discuss my reads with someone, I also love to take pictures and edit them, so decided an Instagram dedicated to books would be a great little hobby! It quickly escalated and now I have a home library with over 500 books and counting and a BIG sprayed edge addiction!!
Who Is Your Favorite Indie/Small Press Author And Why?
@ThePagesoftheMoon: Gregory Kontaxis is definitely a stand out indie author for me, he first captured my heart and attention with “The Knight of the moon” novella, which quickly lead me to devour “The return of the Knight” absolutely incredible reads, I’m working my way through his second book “The fall of giants”
All Time Favorite Indie Book?
