Hey all, Sam here. Well, as we reach the end of another month, it makes sense to start looking forward to what I'm hoping to read in the upcoming month. Now, this year has been a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to actually following through with the TBR, because I often get… Continue reading May TBR
Hey all, Sam here. Well, it has certainly been awhile since the last WIP Wednesday post popped up on this blog. I'm trying to work on getting back into a more consistent schedule, in terms of reading, writing, blogging, and just life in general. Obviously I can't promise anything, but I'm trying to get things… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – April 17, 2024
Hey all, Sam here. I'm going to start off this post by calling myself out, because this is not the first book by Hafsah Faizal that I've read. It's just the first one I've reviewed, even though I meant to review her debut novel a couple years ago...so my current plan is to do a… Continue reading Book Review: A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal
Hey all, Sam here. Well, here's a review that was supposed to be up last year and just ended up sitting in the drafts folder for WAY too long. I had planned to review one volume a week until I had reviewed the 12 volumes covering the first season of the live-action adaptation coming to… Continue reading Manga Review: One Piece Vol 4 by Eiichiro Oda
Hey all, Sam here. I'd love to have the energy and enthusiasm to write up a great intro for today's post, but even just sticking to my blogging plan and getting these posts finished and scheduled is proving problematic thanks to my mental health being in a rough patch right now. But I'm going to… Continue reading Book Review: Just Stab Me Now by Jill Bearup
Hey all, Sam here. Yeah, I definitely planned to have this review up on Tuesday, but things got a little topsy-turvy for a few days, so I had to push back everything on my blog schedule so I could accommodate the fact that I had mostly prepared four posts but then didn't finish/schedule them. I'll… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Mammoths at the Gates by Nghi Vo
Hey all, Sam here. At the moment I'm not sure if the writing advice I need is the gentle kind or the harsh kind. I mean, obviously I'm trying to be more gentle with myself when I have multiple days (or weeks) in a row where I'm not getting a whole lot of actual writing… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Gentle Writing Advice: How to Be a Writer Without Destroying Yourself by Chuck Wendig
Hey all, Sam here. Oops...I had yesterday's post mostly prepped but forgot to finish it and schedule it, and I got a little busy at work, so I wasn't able to get it posted...which broke my 10 day blog streak. But, since I had the post mostly completed anyway, I'll just do a double post… Continue reading Book Review: Lady of Darkness by Melissa K. Roehrich
Hey all, Sam here. It’s the start of a new month, and that means it’s time for more Weekend Writer prompts! As I mentioned in a previous post, I am making some changes to how this blog series works, mostly because I was spending so much time prepping and writing these weekly posts and it… Continue reading Weekend Writer: April 2024 Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. Yes, the reviews just keep coming. I guess that's what happens when it's only April and I've already read 44 books this year...plus there were all the books I read in the last few months of the year last year that I didn't talk about here. So, I'm working on catching… Continue reading Book Review: Forged in Magic by Jenna Wolfhart
