My current reads are all for #SPFBO
Physical Magic is progression fantasy with a disabled MC in LGBT normative world
Liches is a cultivation fantasy from a cat POV
Artificer's is a gaslamp fantasy with a main MC who slowly gets drawn into a gang
I'm enjoying all 3 so far!

Awesome idea! I've followed, competed in, and judged SPFBO and it has been great. My LitRPG series won't be out in time for the Bakeoff but I'll definitely follow along and cheer the other competitors.

Just finished Changebringer, which I enjoyed more than I'd expect from a romance, and will go straight into Artificer's Knot for #SPFBO reading!
My non SPFBO read is Fazgood, which is weird as promised, but I'm not sure yet if it hits the humour right for me...

Book#4
Time jumps, devotion, and an immortal vampire romance I would never have picked up outside SPFBO.
Fun but rushed, with repetitive high stakes, yet anchored by a morally flexible heroine.
Very much romantasy, and good for those that enjoy it!

1. A CAPTURED CAULDRON by R.K. Ashwick - 3.5👑
I've been meaning to get to this book sooner, but alas... It's the sequel to SPFBO 10 finalist, A Rival Most Vial, which I loved. It was great to be back with the team, but I just wasn't as into it this time around. Still, worth checking out!
