Welcome to The FFTA Father-Son SFFH Awards — The Sassies: 2025 Edition! 🎉It’s perhaps the start of an annual tradition, where Jim and Zach team up to celebrate (and sometimes lovingly roast) the very best of our fantasy, science fiction, and horror reading from the past year.No cash prizes. No trophies.Just bookish joy, chaotic energy, and two nerds sharing the stories that stuck with us long after we turned the final page.This year’s Sassies categories include:🔥 Best Character You Wanted to Punch🐉 Best Monster Who Deserved a Raise🤯 Best “Wait… WHAT?!” Plot Twist🎧 Best Audiobook Narration💬 Best Quote📚 The “Couldn’t Put It Down, Forgot to Eat” Award🕵️ Best Supporting Character Who Stole the Show💔 The “I Need Therapy Now” Emotional Devastation Award🌍 Best Worldbuilding Flex🧪 The “I Can’t Believe That Worked” Genre Mash-Up AwardWe’ll each reveal our nominees, debate (over-) passionately, and crown a single winner for each category. Expect laughs, hot takes, questionable choices, and plenty of love for the books we read that made 2025 awesome.If you enjoy SFFH book talk, father-son banter, or discovering new reads to add to your already-overflowing TBR… this is your episode.⸻👍 Like the video📬 Subscribe for more SFFH content🔔 Ring the bell so you never miss our reviews, debates, and livestreams💙 Huge thanks to our Patreon supporters for helping make these episodes possible!: patreon.com/FantasyForTheAges#FantasyForTheAges #TheSassies #BookAwards #SFFH #BestBooks2025 #FantasyBooks #SciFiBooks #HorrorBooks #Booktube #Audiobooks #ReadingCommunity #FatherSonBooktubeWant to purchase books/media mentioned in this episode?Artificial Condition: https://t.ly/qc9AyA Breath of Snow and Ashes: https://t.ly/o8IhNBook of the Ancestor Trilogy: https://t.ly/DL67UDungeon Crawler Carl Series: https://t.ly/2lTYREx-Heroes Series: https://t.ly/XuifAThe Girl With All the Gifts: https://t.ly/bb_ADThe Indian Lake Trilogy: https://t.ly/OE8CkLightbringer Series: https://t.ly/NzrYcThe Murderbot Diaries: https://t.ly/xvnyYThe Newsflesh Trilogy: https://t.ly/3at8Z Pilgrims: https://t.ly/rnlMTThe Realm of the Elderlings: https://t.ly/JvhuiThe Stand: https://t.ly/UG_4mSwan Song: https://t.ly/i5F6pThis Inevitable Ruin: https://t.ly/_Z_qZThe Three-Body Problem Trilogy: https://t.ly/vDm19The Will of the Many: https://t.ly/O3i8iWays to connect with us:Follow Jim/Father on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/13848336-jim-scriven Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/jMWyVJ6qKk Follow us on "X": @Fantasy4theAges Follow us on Blue Sky: @fantasy4theages.bsky.socialFollow us on Instagram: fantasy_for_the_ages Follow us on Mastodon: @[email protected] Email us: [email protected] Check out our merch: https://www.newcreationsbyjen.com/collections/fantasyfortheagesJim’s Microphone: Blue Yeti https://tinyurl.com/3shpvhb4 Jim’s Camera: Razer Kito Pro https://tinyurl.com/c873tc2n 0:00 - Opening 1:26 - Episode Explanation2:03 - Awards Intro & Disclaimer4:30 - The Award Reveals48:38 - Conclusion & Wrap-up————————————————————————————Music and video elements licensed under Envato Elements:https://elements.envato.com/
