Fantasy Book Critic Tenth Anniversary Day 5 + Worldwide Giveaway (by Mihir Wanchoo)
As we wind down to our last and day 5 of our decennial celebrations, we decided to hold a giveaway to top of our celebrations. Since we have readers from all over the globe, we felt it would only be fair to keep it open to anyone worldwide.
Another question was how to select the titles among all four of us (Robert, Liviu, Cindy & me). So eventually we came to the conclusion was that the simplest and fairest way to select the titles for the giveaway, was to select the #1 titles from all of our best of the year lists from our humble beginnings (2007) to until now (2017).
Also we thought it would be fun to fun to add an e-reader and present all the titles as e-books. So what we have decided to giveaway is a Kindle Fire HD 8 Tablet (16 GB) and given below are all the titles that are up for grabs for one lucky winner:
- Acacia by David Anthony Durham (Robert T. best of 2007)

What an amazine lineup of books there are so many.
That's a awesome list of books! Thanks! Happy 10th to you guys, and Happy Holidays!
What a great idea! Congratulations on reaching 10 years people.
There was one author, I cant remember his name, but he had 2 titles in Liviu's best of 2010, and used to do this same sort of giveaway, a kindle with a bunch of books on it, on the the 4th of July, right here on this blog. What ever happened to him?
