Indy`s handsell heros:
The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson
A richly imagined fantasy packed with political intrigue, deadly secrets and unforgettable characters. Smart, immersive and impossible to put down.
The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells
Witty, action-packed and surprisingly heartfelt, this beloved sci-fi series follows a security android that would rather watch entertainment feeds than interact with humans, but keeps saving them anyway.
Even the Good Girls Will Cry by Melissa Auf der Maur
Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a deeply introspective and emotional memoir that goes far beyond a typical rock-and-roll tell-all, blending Melissa Auf der Maur’s experiences in the 1990s alternative music scene with reflections on grief, identity, and personal growth.
An intimate portrait of both her life and the era she lived through.
