Cover of Forest of the Morning featuring artwork of two ghostly faces against a background of green foliage & purple flowers

So anyway I'm adding this to Forest of the Morning's resume:

"Crashed out of #SPFBO because reviewer couldn't make it past the daddaughter relationship in chapter 2" 😭

FTR ... I am in favour of putting aside a book for your own mental health, and happy to provide full CWs on request.

"O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” My fantasy novel The Stonebound Heir was reviewed yesterday by Kristen McDowell. I'm still a #SPFBO XI contender!!!!! Check out her commentary here: superstardrifter.com

SPFBO Review: The Stonebound Heir by L.A. Barnitz Moving along with my SPFBO books - it's time for the longest of my slushy pile! Fourteen-year-old Sid Sol knows nothing about his origins but believes himself destined for better things than living in an isolated cabin with a giant and a girl whose strange appearance causes the locals to shun them. His fellow orphan, sixteen-year-old Lingli Tabaan, only wants a home where she will be safe from those convinced she's from the otherworld.

I ordered this pretty #spfbo 11 contestant from a small bookstore. It took a few weeks to get here, but I have a feeling the wait will be worth it.

Thank you for asking, Bee. I'm working on books 2 & 3 of The Cursed Cycles series & madly checking #SPFBO sites every 15 minutes to see how book 1 The Stonebound Heir is doing in the contest. Check it out if you like fantasy that's about friendships, betrayals & tests of loyalty. #readingcommunity

SPFBO 11: Dogged by Michael R. Fletcher I really loved this one. Which is probably a relief for the author because sometimes I bounce off his stuff. He tends to dance on the line of how much grimdark I can tolerate, and sometimes he goes…

HEY ALL YOU LOVELY SFF BOOK PEOPLE

<3 Another review and this one is for my favorite in the #SPFBO contest so far in my batch.

It's also the highest score I've ever given anything from my original pile of books for the contest

#SPFBO is heating up. Several groups have been actively reviewing books, and now The Fantasy Hive as well as previously Fantasy Book Critic have already delivered their semi-finalists.
No news yet on Phoenix Rises, Dragon Soars. So keep crossing your fingers for me, or read while we wait.

TO Munro and his SPFBO team run through their first batch of eliminations, share their pick for honourable mention and announce their first semi-finalist!
