3 Years in SPFBO
SPFBO 7 started off on June 1st and as many of you know, the Asylum is not a judging blog anymore. But not all of us stepped back from the competition. In this post I’d like to talk about why I made the decision of stepping back, how SPFBO affected my (blogging) life, and highlight all the gems I got to find thanks to the competition. It will be a long post, so buckle up. I’ll try to keep the rambling to a minimum, but no promises…
Timy’s Top 10 Reads of 2020
After some debate, we decided that instead of doing one short (top 3 reads each which would have been downright cruelty to ourselves), or one very long (top 10 reads each, squeezed together) post on our favorite reads in 2020, we’ll do three separate ones. Mainly because we’d like to highlight as many books as we can, regardless of when they were released, if they are indie, self-published, or traditionally published. The only criteria were that we had to read it in 2020. And maybe like it too. A tiny bit. Maybe. Next up is Timy’s Top 10 Reads of 2020.
Monthly Wrap Up: October 2020
Aside the excitement of my moving, in October blog posts were written, SPFBO books were read, lists were made, tours were organized.
SPFBO 6 Finalist Announcement
The day everyone waited for! We finally reveal our SPFBO 6 Finalist, which also means we say goodbye to 4 of our semi-finalists. We are sad to see them go, but only one can survive.
SPFBO: Black Stone Heart by Michael R. Fletcher
In the next few weeks, we’ll review our semi-finalists in the same order as we announced them, our next up is Black Stone Heart by Michael Fletcher. Come and see what Team RockStarlit thought of it!
Monthly Wrap Up: September 2020
September turned out to be a way busier month than I expected, and that’s saying something. With a twist of fate even I didn’t see coming, I ended up renting a flat. Official moving in day is October 1st. Things happened within 2 weeks basically. What started out as a casual looking around for flats resulted in my actually renting one. The funny thing is, I only really looked at 2 before jumping on the second one. I did not expect to move anytime before February, really. Oh well.
