IndieReader was created to help adventurous book-lovers sort out the plethora of new indie titles and authors…a road map of sorts to help navigate the rocky terrain.

One of the ways we do this is through the IR Discovery Awards (IRDAs). Another is via our new “IR Approved” sticker. All books that receive a 4-5 star IR book review automatically receive an “IR Approved” designation, making it easy for  booksellers and book buyers to know that the title is reader-worthy.
