    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.

    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!

      Ahhh! So glad to get to read Master of the Void. I'm excited for book 2

    Love hearing about all of the Mel's Takeover's stats. The differences between your group and the official group just goes to show that reading is so subjective.

    • @MelLenoreReads

      Right? So wild. But I love the differences

    Wow, I love how different the ratings were! Personally, I didn't enjoy Master of the Void pretty much the entire time reading but thought it came together very nicely at the end and will probably keep reading the series. I also thought Spindle Manor would have been GREAT as a movie. It gave me Knives Out and Clue vibes but felt a little too slapstick for a book. I think my favorite was also A Rival Most Vial! I immediately read all the bonus content and novellas that the author had published.

      Lots of love for a rival most vial! I can see how people would really enjoy that one

    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!

    • @MelLenoreReads
      @MelLenoreReads  4 місяці тому

      I know! I think the official judges definitely leaned more cozy

    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).
