FBC: Authors & Their Favourite Books, Alec Hutson on China Meiville's The Scar (interviewed by Mihir Wanchoo)
Hello everyone, this is the ATFB series, Authors & Their
Favourite Books. This series is inspired by hearing about authors talk
about what books inspired them to become wordsmiths in their own right.
Today I'm so glad to do a different kind of interview. Today I'm interviewing one of the SPFBO Judges from SPFBO 2021/ SPFBO 7. Becky M is a booktuber situated in the UK and is a lover of Sci-fi, Fantasy, Horror, Apocalypse, Dystopia and a big Stephen King fan. This was the first year of her judging in this contest and to add to this, she had possibly one of the toughest groups to judge. I thought it would be great to glean her insights as a debutant and being only the second booktuber judge in the past seven editions.
So read ahead to get to know Becky and find out what she thinks...
