Book reviews are a great way for self-publishing authors to gain exposure. After all, how can someone buy your book if he or she doesn’t know it exists? Paired with other elements of your book promotion strategy, requesting reviews is a great way to get people talking about what you’ve written.
When we read good reviews, we definitely like to share them. It gives the author a few (permanent) moments of fame and allows us to let the community know about a great book. Here’s this week’s book review by Midwest Book Review:

Muck Blossoms
Juna Jinsei
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781432771522
In the farms of the nineteenth century, you have much time to think. “Muck Blossoms” is a metaphysical and spiritual historical novel following Kathleen, a woman of 1870s Wyoming who tries to put together a worthy life. Facing the evil that lurks behind her, all she wants is a worthy home that escapes her own broken upbringing. “Muck Blossoms” is an excellent read for historical fiction fans seeking a spiritual tilt to their novels.
