Apologies for taking a month off my #SPFBOX first chapter reads. 'Twas stuck on a big project. Today's read comes with an exceedingly cute alien by sculptor Hannah Simpson se.royalacademy.org.uk/2024/artworks/…

We're onto Day 5 of #SPFBOX reading. Not sure how much I'll get done today, but here's an insect clock in Cambridge, UK. The insect rocks to-and-fro, and the lights chase around to show the time.

Day 22 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Covers with Cassidy) I'm excited to say I found three books I'm interested in seeing more from even though they've been cut from the blog-off.

What our panelists thought about Fragmented Fates by Nancy Foster 💉🇲🇽 "I am so curious about this world and its rules." "Dense worldbuilding."

That's what I said! 👇 This was a great except to read!

What our panelists thought about Hills of Heather and Bone by @KEAndrews95 "Enchanting, I was drawn in immediately." "I love the gender archetype switch of the couple." "The story sounds interesting with a history to be known."

Thanks to all judges for their time and work, and all the best to those who remain in the contest.

Pitch your book poorly, share your cover, and tag another indie. Our heroes are here for the food - and sometimes also for mysterious magical artefacts with the personalities of predatory cats. Gabriella E. Mari

Hurray, at last another 'raven review'!!! This time Fenwick, the #InquisitiveRaven, and I have picked The Tenfold Tenants by @EVBelknapAuthor goodreads.com/review/show/66… #SPFBOX, #spfboX

Day 26 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Kitty G) I'm featuring a single fantasy romance for today. The opening is that good - character, setting, tone. It shows us so much. I recommend its study to all authors.

We're on the doorstep of the Narratess Indie Sale! The Long Nights is 0.99c everywhere (sale link below)

Day 28 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Kitty G) I found a fun, competent witchy mystery to start off the day, and then read a physically focused YA fantasy that did just enough to make me want to keep reading! Check them out!

I should probably mention more often that if you like my thoughts on these spfbo openings, I'm available for hire to give feedback/dev-edits on your work by the page or for a whole novel. Link below, or check my bio.

I have the honour of helping with @SteveWestenra's COVER REVEAL 😍 I can't wait to read this Viking-inspired fantasy and you too need to go add it on goodreads! ❄️ So Sing the Barrows - out early next year ❄️
