    SPFBO 6 | Try a Chapter and First Impressions Book Reviews | 2020 Entrants | Part 1

    The first five books I read from SPFBO 6’s 2020 entrants. These were a good start, and I found two books I just wanted to continue reading.

    SPFBO 2018 Top 10 Finalists – Try a Chapter and First Impressions Book Reviews

    For the past couple of weeks I’ve been testing all the SPFBO 4 (2018) finalists books by reading them for an hour. I’ve already done this with SPFBO 5 and it worked really well to let me see which of the books I would want to read more of. I’ve also made a master list…

    SPFBO 2019 Top 10 Finalists – Try a Chapter and First Impressions Book Reviews

    This years Self-Published Fantasy Book Off, or SPFBO for short, has recently started and I was intrigued about quite a few books on the list.

    Uptown Oracle Reads… Amarah | Journey of a Sky Pirate, a Soldier and a Princess

    Amarah is the 3rd book in a series that I have loved so far. Both Moroda and Palom brought positives to the table, but I was ready for Amarah to pick up the pace and move towards an overarching storyline and goal.

    Uptown Oracle Reads… The Silver Queen

    As with The Gilded King and her other books, Jaffrey continues writing her unique take on vampires and zombies. The Silver Queen is no different. Her wonderfully written supernatural world expands on the lore and differences of these creatures to the ones we often see in media.
