BBNYA 2025 Semi-Finalist Spotlight: A Lonely Broadcast by Kel Byron

Hello, reader!

Today on the blog, I’m helping the Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award (BBNYA) spotlight all the books that made it to the semi-finals! There were so many incredible books entered this year, so it’s my pleasure to feature the ones that may not have made it to the finals, but were still worthy of note!

But what is BBNYA, exactly? The Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award (BBNYA) is celebrating the books that made it to the semi-finals with a mini spotlight blitz tour for each title.

BBNYA is a yearly competition where book bloggers from all over the world read and score books written by indie authors, ending with 15 (17 in 2025) finalists and one overall winner.
