I’m so excited to announce that Literature Approved is growing even bigger! It’s been my dream since I’ve started reviewing, 7 years ago, to create a place that is beneficial to both authors AND readers. Literature Approved has been the fruits of that dream in the way that it provides a place for authors to promote their books and in allowing our reader reach to be more diverse. Our current Contributor Reviewing team, Valerie and AnnaScott, are super awesome about connecting with new readers and recommending books that I’ve not had the chance to read. Our reach is so much more wide and unique now because of this amazing team and I’m just so very happy to see it continue to grow with others who love books as much as I do!
SO
Without further ado….
I’d like to introduce to you Abigail Harder and Sofia Marie!
