Helping Authors & Inspiring Readers

 

Adventures await within these virtual pages. Where might one go, you ask? Anywhere. Any adventure you could possibly imagine can be found between the covers of a book. 

The heart-and-soul purpose of the site is to connect readers with books by giving authors a chance to share what they've written. We're not out to change the world, but we care so much about books and what they can do for people, that we feel it's important to play our part the best way we know how for as long as we're able.

From honest and objective book reviews, author interviews, guest posts, cover contests, and more, Books & Benche offers an array of opportunities for authors and readers to connect.

Originally launched in 2012 as a personal book blog, we have watched the publishing landscape change over the years, and bring with it thousands of amazing new authors and their books.

This is a privately-owned, volunteer-operated website, and with the help of dedicated reviewers, our only goal is help authors and inspire readers. We hope you'll be encouraged to read, interact with, and support the authors and their stories. After all, these are your adventures, too. 

 

Don't know where to start? Browse the reviews to find some great books, then head on over to meet new authors on the interviews page. This site is free to browse and always will be.
