Hey all, Sam here. All right, so I had definitely planned and intended to have this post up in the first few days of the new year. However, due to having to swap from overnight shift to just regular night shift, I have been exhausted and struggling to readjust my sleep schedule...which meant that I… Continue reading Goals for 2026
Hey all, Sam here. My monthly TBRs will usually include NetGalley ARCs for that month, but there are many books that I'm excited about reading that I am not approved for via NetGalley. Now some of these books I may get approved for closer to their release dates, especially since some of them aren't even… Continue reading Some of My 2026 Anticipated Releases
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I suppose I underestimated how much the schedule shift at work was going to throw my home life into chaos. I had fully expected to have this written and posted on the 2nd or 3rd, and obviously that did not happen. Those two days off were spent trying to readjust… Continue reading December Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Am I starting my year with making a TBR for the month? Yes, I am, and I'm actually feeling very hopeful that I'll be able to complete this list of 10 books in January, because all of them sound incredible...and some of them sound so nice that I can't wait until… Continue reading Books I Want to Read in January

I'll have a full post on my goals up at the beginning of the year, but for now I want to focus… Continue reading A TTRPG Inspired TBR for 2026
Hey all, Sam here. This is a long overdue review. I can say that because I read the indie pubbed edition of this book back in October 2024, and then I read the trad pubbed edition in September 2025.....and here we are in December 2025 and I'm finally getting around to writing the review. I… Continue reading A Fellowship of Librarians & Dragons by J Penner
Hey all, Sam here. If I was a more prepared individual then this post would have been up a few days ago. But hey, I should have known that the end of the year brings all kinds of added stress, and that throws things completely out of whack for me. Anyway, I'm thankfully off work… Continue reading #JolabokaflodReadathon 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Happy Book Birthday to Paula Lafferty today for the trad pub release of The Once and Future Queen. Originally self-published as La Vie de Guinevere, this book was a fast success, after a massively successful Kickstarter, and lots of social media buzz. I read and reviewed the self-pubbed edition last year,… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Once and Future Queen by Paula Lafferty
Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, when I started getting to the point of reading 150 or so books a year, I realized it was absolutely awful for me to try and narrow that number of books down into a top ten list for the year. It was then that I decided to split… Continue reading My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (January-June Edition)
Hey all, Sam here. Oops...I definitely meant for this to be up a couple days ago, and that definitely did not happen. I got distracted by other stuff, which seems to happen a lot. But, it is time to talk about all the things I read, wrote, blogged about, and visited over the past month.… Continue reading November Wrap-Up
