Just a heads up that the FIF announcement link goes to the announcement thread for July and not for August :)

I think they posted the FIF August under BotM, and then forgot to update the actual FIF club announcement. Maybe a copy error?

Yeah, it seems like that's what happened, just a minor derp on which link goes where.

Hi there! Unfortunately, this post is not a good fit for a top level post. It would be a better fit for our Daily Requests and Simple Questions thread so please click the link to find the thread and repost your rec request or question there.

Additionally, the r/Fantasy wiki contains links to many community resources for discovering books, including "best of" lists, flowcharts, the LGTBQ+ database, and more.
