The Northern Witch's Book Blog

The Northern Witch's Best & Worst books Time for a little update.  As those of you who are familiar with my blog knows, I have a list of Past Reviews .  It lists every single review I have posted, along with their score out of 5. The list is alphabetical by author, and the links are highlighted either gold, silver or bronze, depending on how I rated them. Ok, not rocket science, but I was chatting with friends about my actual favourites, what would be my top ten?! So of course, instead of writing and editing, it niggled away until I had to make a new page, my own list of Best & Worst books . But top ten?  That seemed too limiting, so for the moment, I'm treating you to the Top 20. *Drumroll* So I have a pretty banner that my Top 20 indie authors can pinch for their websites/blogs. I will be updating this page every couple of months.  Or every six months if no one is capable of breaking into the ranks of my all-time favourites!
