SPFBO8 Recap, Cuts, and Semi-Finalist Announcement @dominishbooks

dominish_books | SPFBO8 Recap, Cuts, and Semi-Finalist Announcement @dominishbooks | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
Today I am wrapping up my official involvement in SPFBO8 where I have been judging books as part of Team @Bookborn

In this video, I'll go through each of the six titles I read for the opening phase of the competition and will cut five of them, leaving one remaining book as my semi-finalist to progress to the next stage.

My individual reviews for each of these books can be found here:
