Review Habitat Press Books at These Websites

Nothing beats that feeling of reading a great book and wanting to tell everyone about it. These seven sites enable readers to review Habitat Press books with their own honest reviews and recommend titles for others to enjoy.

As a small indie publisher, we always appreciate (and rely on) your support to bring other readers to our books.

If you want to help us in our mission to promote sustainable behaviour through fabulous fiction, please review our books. The most impactful will be Amazon and you don’t have to have bought the book from their site to review there, but other review sites are also helpful, see below:
