That's another #SPFBOXI review in the books! The Golden Princess delivers fast-paced thrills, vivid characters, and constant danger. A few aspects didn’t quite click, but its ambition and tension make it a compelling ride.

I have a book review for #spfbo The Witch and the Woodcutter. It's a book for the times, which is horrifying because it's supposed to be a book about the past. 📚📘💙❤️💜💛💚🧙‍♀️ weatherwaxreport.blog/2026/02/07/s...

The SPFBO XI reviews just keep coming! Budding Rhythm by CrimCat is an enjoyable LitRPG romp where you spend time with a lively protagonist as she stumbles, schemes, and slices her way through a game-like fantasy world Check out the full review on FanFiAddicts 🔗 👇

OK...so it begins...my first review for #SPFBO XI is up on FanFiAddict. I had a Dresden-esque journey with BUTCHER BOY by Aaron Daggit. My full review: fanfiaddict.com/spfbo-xi-rev... @fanfiaddict.bsky.social

Happy #caturday I hope y’all are blessed with valentines dates as handsome as mine 😻

Belated #SFINCS Round 1 review for The Devil Owns Primetime by Sirius .: beforewegoblog.com/sfincs-revie... Devil wasn't one of my initial books, but I picked it up on recommendation from a teammate. I'm so glad I did (it had been on my TBR before the contest, but this gave me the nudge)! #SFINCS3

Lilje got through the lottery! Amidst all the chonky epic fantasy books, here's a gentle little one that'll amke you smile and maybe cry but feel very alive I think. Just over a day left in the sale so be quick!

Pleased to have discovered another Hidden Gem #SPSFC5 Iconoclast by Dave Walsh

The SPFBO has opened its doors! You have about 21 hours left to put your self-published fantasy book in the hat. Meanwhile, I’m attempting a different route to the top 🙂

Another #spsfc5 entry I couldn't put down www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

One of the books in my scout pile for #spsfc5 was impossible for me to put down at the 25% mark, so I finished it. I loved Breakwater by Vivian Wilderbridge! I hope more people discover it 🤩 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

With the fifth Self-Published Science Fiction Competition (SPSFC) taking book entries next month, we're looking for a few good volunteers to join us as judges: spsfc.space/2025/09/19/j... More than a few, actually. #SPSFC

After 306 days and 175 novels, the fourth #SPSFC has chosen its winner along with five finalists as runners-up. Sixth place goes to the "awesome high-concept" Bisection by @jennelikejennay.bsky.social. You can share one brain and still not understand someone. www.amazon.com/Bisection-Sh...

Fifth place in the fourth #SPSFC goes to the richly constructed noir cyberpunk thriller Accidental Intelligence by @geektells.bsky.social. A judge loved that the dark reign of AI began when a videogame "learned so well and so fast that it gained sentience." www.amazon.com/Accidental-I...

Third place in the fourth #SPSFC goes to the second chances resurrection romp Yours, Celestially by @al-distortion.bsky.social. Judge: "I needed this in my life right now at a time where I had more than a few negative thoughts in my head about being who I am." www.amazon.com/Yours-Celest...

With four places announced out of six, the fourth #SPSFC is faced with the dilemma of what to announce next. By a margin of just 0.392, second place goes to "action packed" On Impulse by Heather Texle, led by migraine-afflicted ex-space cop Reliance Sinclair. www.amazon.com/Impulse-Reli...

Fourth place in the fourth #SPSFC is claimed by the "rollicking space opera" Whiskey and Warfare by @emhamill.bsky.social. A found family of golden-years space mercs reunite to stop a genocide. www.amazon.com/Whiskey-Warf...

The winner of the fourth #SPSFC is Saint Elspeth by @wickwelker.bsky.social, a tightly crafted tale of a doctor who survived first contact and nuclear apocalypse. "They just arrived, inadvertently triggered humanity to tear itself to pieces, landed, and vanished." www.amazon.com/Saint-Elspet...

I just finished reading The Old Crones Club by Jennifer Taylor-Gray, and I really loved it. Feminist fairy tale mashup with Once Upon a Time vibes ❤️ Release date July 31 #ARC #Fantasy #FairytaleRetellings #UpcomingFantasy
