Hi all,

My name is Ben . I am the creator of Shepherd.com, and I am trying to create the indie book platform readers deserve (more on that below).

I just launched our first reader feature where you can share your 3 favorite reads of the year

We create a beautiful page for you like this:

Want to know Ben Fox's Top 3 Books of 2024?

Ben's top 3 reads of 2024 include The Cold Cold Ground and two other amazing books. Discover what makes these books unmissable!

shepherd.com

Plus, your 3 votes go into our "Best Books of 2024" here:

Vote + Explore Reader’s 250 Favorite Books Of 2024

EVERY book is from a reader’s top 3 picks for 2024. Vote for your 3 favorite reads.

shepherd.com

To submit your 3 favorites go here:

https://shepherd.com/bboy/my-3-fav-reads/join

*You don't have to write anything, as that is optional.

I've been doing this personally on my blog for 13 years, and it is a fun way to reflect and share your favorites with readers (plus give props to your fav authors).

If you have any questions, ask away, and my direct email is ben@shepherd.com if you find any bugs

Thanks, Ben

P.S. If you are curious about what my goals are for readers long term, here is a longer blog post I made:

What is Shepherd's mission for readers?

How I am trying to help readers (like me)...

And a bit more why I am building this website

Why am I building Shepherd? (i.e., what is wrong with Ben )

I get this question a lot...

Oh, and to mention, I'd love if you share this with friends as my goal is to get a lot of readers sharing their favorites as I love seeing what everyone is reading

Here is the science fiction section (bunch of subgenres on left side and let me know if anything is missing):

467 authors pick the 100 best science fiction books of 2024

ð We present the 100 most-read science fiction books that 467 authors and super readers picked as one of their 3 favorite reads in 2024.

I am working to improve genre/topic accuracy this winter as the publishers make lots of mistakes which causes problems.
