Speak To Our Desires by Brenda W. Clough is one of the allocations for our Wayward Stars team and Izzy from The Shaggy Shepherd and I were the first ones to read it. We read 20-25% before giving our verdict as we try to do with all of the allocations to give them a fair Read More
SPSFC: Speak To Our Desire by Brenda W. Clough
Spotlight: Bite Your Neighbour by D.N. Bryn
Yesterday, D.N. Bryn released their new book, Bite Your Neighbour, a m/m paranormal romance (tropes in the image below). I loved Bryn’s other books so I’m really excited about this one! I already knew I’ll fall in love with the characters because Bryn has a gift for writing interesting characters and relationships. They all feel Read More
Review: The Elite by Kiera Cass
The Elite is the second book of the Selection series by Kiera Cass. I read the three books in quick succession since I wasn’t feeling great at the time and binged the three books, so forgive me if I confuse certain details from the books. America Singer is still our protagonist and the only point Read More
BBNYA 2022 Finalists
The second round of the Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year award is over and we’ve got our finalists! Fifteen books have gone through, and we’re now looking for the top ten books. All top ten books will get rewards. But I’m not here for the rewards, I’m here for the good books. Last two Read More
Review: The Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
Because I’m obsessed with reading challenges this year, I’m also slowly ticking off the Oasis badges. One of the prompts was ‘Pirates’, and this was the first interesting book I could find on Scribd. It wasn’t too long and I can’t get enough of YA fantasy so it was an easy choice. I didn’t know Read More
ARC Review: The Reanimator’s Heart by Kara Jorgensen
Thank you to the author for giving me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. I usually don’t like books with necromancers because zombies are a trigger for me, but I wanted to give this one a try. Mostly because of the author. I had a feeling that even if this book included Read More
Indie Accords Readathon Paths Q3/Q4 2022
We’re continuing with the readathons! The Indie Accords crew has just released their new boards for those who want to do themed reading. This readathon is a lot less effort since it’s only six prompts per path (pick one, pick all, it’s up to you) and you have until the end of December. You must Read More
ARC Review: Notorious Sorcerer by Davinia Evans
Thank you to the publisher, Orbit, and Nazia Khatun for the free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Siyon Velo is our Notorious Sorcerer but he doesn’t start out there. He’s not even an alchemist apprentice, running errands and gathering ingredients. Without formal training, he’ll never get into the Summer Club. Read More
SPSFC Allocations
Earlier this summer, another call went out for judges for a self-publishing contest. A science-fiction one specifically. I’ve been reading more Sci-fi but not in the indie category. And I wanted to give it a shot. But since I’m already a teamleader for BBNYA, I didn’t want to be a full judge. I’ve joined The Read More
Review: Spark by Sarah Beth Durst
I read Spark by Sarah Beth Durst as part of the SFF Oasis readathon in July for the Animal Companion prompt. While recovering from eye surgery, I got hooked on audiobooks but still prefer shorter works. Most middle-grade books are on the shorter side while they still hold the same wonder I’m looking for in Read More
