So sorry to hear about that. Wishing you a great recovery. Thanks so much for participating in the SPFBOX!
Glad to hear your doing better! My friends fiancé was a finalist in SPFBO last year. Glad to hear your back as a judge.
Wow that’s exciting! Which book was that? I’m looking forward to judging once again :)

I am very pleased to hear you are cancer free and no further treatment required. My sister and I are in our 40s and have been placed on the medium risk path because both our mum and grandmother had breast cancer. We have to have a mammogram every year until we are 50 and if no sign of cancer then we drop down to the low risk path and have them every 3 years. My mums growth, though not aggressive, was found 10 months after her mammogram and when they rechecked the scans there were no signs of it. People check your breasts regularly it is very important as things can change very quickly xx
Absolutely agree with you here, it’s vital for everyone to be checking in on the breasts regularly and making sure that nothing is new/different.
I hope all stays well for you, I’m also on the yearly mammograms and maybe MRIs now until I’m 50 so in the same boat as you :) x
Oh my goodness. That's quite the scary situation. I'm so glad you here now
Thank you! I’m glad too!
Sending you a lot of positive energy and health K, thank you for supporting so many others and excited to hear your book as a judge for SPFBOX!
I'm glad you're back and cancer free! Also happy that you're doing SPFBO again. I'm excited to see what books you get😮
So sorry to hear you went through this, it’s my worst fear as a mother to a young child! I am so glad to hear you are healthy now though, please put your health first. Looking forward to hearing more recommendations from you though as they were always my favourite!
Thank you! It was a bit of a scary time but I’m really happy with where we are now :)
Oh my goodness, I’m sorry to hear that but so relieved to hear you’re recovering ❤️ Take all the time you need, but glad to hear your voice in the fantasy book world again! Sending peace and love 🫶
Thank you! I hope you’ll be seeing more of me soon as I recover and get back to making videos more and more often :D
So sorry to hear about the cancer. As you said, heavy stuff! Thrilled that things are on the upward swing. And I’m so glad you’re back to reading for SPFBO! I was just assigned to your group with my lighthearted book Death and the Taxman. Looking forward to the contest videos!
Thanks! I’ve downloaded all my books and will be soon starting on them, really looking forward to my catch this year and I’ll be doing an all verbose video of everything I have soon too!
Great to have you back in the game. I hope the recovery is smooth after all the rough.
Thank you! I’m excited for new fun distractions and exciting books coming up seems like perfect timing!
So sorry to hear about the health scare, I am glad you discovered it early and got treated! Wishing you all the best in your recovery ❤
Super exciting that you are joining SPFBOX though! I was a judge with Fantasy Book Critic for the first time last year and I am returning again for this 10th anniversary edition, so I couldn't be more excited! Fingers crossed we both get some great batches full of hidden gems.
Happy reading & take it easy 🥰
Let’s hope so! It’s always a great fun competition and I’m so excited to get back into reading the books 📚
And thank you!
So glad you're on the mend 💕 I hope the rest of the year brings you nothing but fun because you absolutely deserve it!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Oh Kaitlin. I really wish you a speedy recovery. ❤
Thank you so much!
Dang Kitty, so sorry to hear you've been dealing with potential cancer and all the treatment that goes with that. So glad to hear this was caught early and you're recovering well. It's a LOT when you have to deal with the news and all the slew of tests, appointments, procedures, etc. Much love to you
Thank you! I’m very excited for spfbox and to see if I can find anything I love, fingers are firmly crossed 🤞
And I’m glad too, catching it early was a great relief!
Love to you too! So glad of your recovery!
Thank you so much!
Glad to hear you are recovering!! I got diagnosed in 2017. Had a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation and so far things are cool. Def takes a mental health toll. I still go to a support group and have made many great friends all along this journey so that’s a positive side to it all. Glad you are getting back to reading. Always a great escape from daily stress😁
Sorry to hear you went through something similar and yet I do agree it’s a journey and I’m very glad you’ve come out well the other side with friends. Wishing you all the best for continued health! And awesome books ahead too!
@@kittygbooks 🥰
Sad to hear! 😮😮😮 But let's hope for a speedy recovery!🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞Good health is so important!
Mark of fool is my current book series. Think you would like it. The series doesn't have a drop off at all. It's top teir.
I wish you the best and your family.
Good to know thanks as I’ve not looked at that series yet :) I’ll have to try it!
So, so, so happy for you ❤️ 🎉
OMG! I'm so glad you're back. I'm sorry for all the things you've gone through. That is a lot. You are incredible. I love your SPFBO reviews every year. You introduce me to such great new novels that I wouldn't otherwise choose. I wish I was going to the Glasgow Worldcon but I'm taking a break this year. Chicago was my last. I wish you a fun time!!! Sending hugs!
Thank you so much!! Shame you’re not doing Worldcon but I hope you’ll have a restful time instead :)
❤️. hope to see you and Steve in Glasgow Kaitlin.
Yes! Can’t wait!!! :) 😝
I'm sorry to hear your news, take your time, we will all be here when your ready. I've just lost my dad to cancer and its hard and makes me appreciate my family and what is important. So glad to hear you're cancer free that is amazing. Sending lots of love and hugs to you and your family.
Thank you! I’m so sorry to hear about your dad, it’s a horrible thing to experience and go through, whatever form it takes, so sending you love too!
Great to hear your health is better. Cancer sucks and great they caught it early. Good to hear your back as an SPFBO judge, looking forward to your reviews!
Fourth Wing has been negatively received by nearly every reviewer I’ve seen, so yeah… definitely overhyped.
Haha I’ve finished it up and it was ok, nothing too special for sure but a rompy ride XD
glad to hear you are doing better. Sorry you had to go through that. Riding the waves of your past recommendations I've continued reading Sanderson Cosmere standalone novels off the back of Tress and Yumi. I just finished Warbreaker and really liked it. I also read The Sunlit Man. It was also good but I felt like maybe I was missing something by not reading his longer fantasy series. Way more references to other books it felt than the previous three I read.
Ooh interesting, Sunlit Man I’ve not got to just yet so I definitely need to soon and it’s interesting you say if refers to other books in the series. I’ll have to see if they make sense to me as I’ve read most of the Cosmere books in general. And thanks!
Sorry to hear you heve been in the grinder . We have been near it as well in the past,so fully understand curveballs are shit. So sending you a massive hug. Not seen you in ages. Hope we may cross paths sonetine not too far away . P x
Book clubs are the business. Skipping Worldcon, butvdebating Fantasycon in 2025. TTFN
Sounds like a fun plan for fantasy con next year! Hope you can get along to that as conventions are just fun aren’t they?! :)
Yay, if I spot you in Glasgow I'll try to say hi!
Please do!
Praying for you. Glad you are doing well now :)
I'm so sorry your results weren't the best but glad that you're doing better ❤️ glad to have you back!! Hope things stay good! It's stressful for sure. We're all here for you ❤
Thank you, I’m very happy too and things are looking up and so I’m in a good place to get back to what I love ❤️
Sending love and healing your way 💕
It's lovely to see you again!
It’s very good to be back and I’m keen to get a ball rolling with video-making again!
@@kittygbooks aw, that would be lovely, but absolutely no pressure.
Sorry to hear that…. I hope u recover soon!! 🎉
Get better soon!
