It's been so interesting to follow along and see how different the rankings came out. Congrats to both the official and takeover winners! I totally expected you in the meanie group 😂 Such a fun stat
@@MelLenoreReads thank you! She put me on one that starts with S. It doesn't completely make them go away, but it takes the edge off enough that I can some what function.
The slump component made this extra challenging so I say you killed it! Love the sweaters 😍 Can I read Powerful before Powerless? I’m kind of on the fence about the main series. But friends to lovers 👀
Love you outing yourself with those insane number of phone pickups hahaha. Glad you are having fun with the readathon!! I felt the exact same way on Tainted Cup, and I think it needed much more of Ana lol she was such a hoot 🤣😍
Haha I was over here laughing as I’m on thrill seekers and knew why you’d be choosing that shirt 🤣 I have more books in progress than ever before because I keep pausing some for new game tasks! I never thought of doing pick ups, I always see swapping screen time for reading but sad to say my time is way too high certain days to do that lol 😳 How do you see how many pick ups? I’m intrigued now
This was so fun! I’ve recently gotten Spark of the Everflame and I’m excited to check out the series. Everyone seems to be loving it. I also want to check out the Stacia Stark series. I’ve been seeing that everywhere too.
I've been trying to get more into indie fantasy and sci fi this year and all the videos about this competition really helped! i cant wait to discover more, i have so many on my wishlist now😊
This was so much fun! Thank you for putting all of this together. It's very encouraging, honestly, that the two SPFBOs had such different outcomes (and yet both did a great job drawing attention to the finalists).
Mel and all the other judges, thank you so much for all you do to give indie books visibility! I’m honored to be part of Mel’s Takeover, and I’m so glad you guys enjoyed Master of the Void. There were so many great books this year, and it was fun to see everything play out. I’m working hard on finishing up book two in the series, so I hope you’ll stay tuned!
Loved seeing the official results, thanks for putting in all the hard work to put this together!! So fun to see the differences, and lovely to see Master of the Void getting some well-deserved love! 🤩
I enjoyed reading all the finalists and seeing everyone’s differing opinion. For me, I loved Master of the Void too! It was one of my favorites. I was shocked to see it in last place in the official competition!
I hope you do the takeover again-I really enjoy getting the extra SPFBO content. It’s crazy to me that I’d never even heard of SPFBO and now follow it so closely (obsessively?) since learning about it the first time Cassidy mentioned it on her channel. I agree it’s so fun seeing the different thoughts on the same set of books and how books can work so well for some and not for others. My thoughts were a nice between the official and Mel’s takeover but def leaned closer to the Mel’s Takeover ratings overall.
