if all the stars were books, the galaxy would still be smaller than my TBR list
Moving right along with my reading the finalists in this year's SPFBO. I wasn't a fan of this one. Welp. There is always one, amirite? The Hunt is Coming. Despite his warriors’ lineage, Erroh would rather waste his potential stumbling alone from one tavern to the next, drinking and gambling. Fate, however, has greater plans... Continue Reading →
Getting a bit more reading done, with all this not leaving the house stuff. Dumnorix princess and born warrior, Talyn Dynan was the finest fighter of her generation. With her Callanan partner at her side, she was invincible, reckless, a death-knell to their enemies. But after her partner is torn away from her, Talyn is... Continue Reading →
Moving right along! This week, I'll be talking about Beggar's Rebellion. Tai Kulga lost the rebellion and his best friend on the same day, stripping him of his will to live even as a strange power flooded his bones. When the friend returns as a spirit guide, it feels like a second chance—but his friend... Continue Reading →
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't reading the longest titles first. 😀 A mother struggling to repress her violent past, A son struggling to grasp his violent future, A father blind to the danger that threatens them all. When the winds of war reach their peninsula, will the Matsuda family have the strength... Continue Reading →
Time to get started on some finalists. I figured I'd start with the longest books. Good idea, amirite?! A secret affair. A disfiguring punishment. A burning need for revenge. Kyrra d’Aliente has a bad reputation and an arm made of metal. Cast out of the safe and luxurious world of silk to which she was... Continue Reading →
And now it's down to the finalists! What better way to start out the finals round than with a book that is more or less a martial arts movie in literary form, amirite? Start things off with a real bang, so to speak! Ein is on a mission from God. A God of Death. Time... Continue Reading →

Review time! Our Semifinalists (in order of appearance as semifinalists): Kalanon's Rising by Darian Smith Esme: I picked this one... Continue Reading →
Hi everyone! It's that time again! This will be the last set of chops until I choose a finalist, and so this one may get long. I'll try and keep it to a reasonable word count! 😀 Cut #1 - Shearwater by D. S. Murphy - Status: DNF 30% Shearwater is the story of Clara... Continue Reading →
Getting near the end of my slush pile now! It's happening!! The Lord of Stariel is dead. Long live the Lord of Stariel. Whoever that is. Everyone knows who the magical estate will choose for its next ruler. Or do they? Will it be the lord’s eldest son, who he despised? His favourite nephew, with... Continue Reading →
This one was the interesting book in my pile, and so I let it sit a bit, not too sure what I was going to find. Here I go! Herewiss is the only man in centuries to possess the Power of the blue Flame, but he can't use or control it -- not even to... Continue Reading →
