Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, I had a book blog friend who hosted a reading challenge at the end of the year called Diverse December...and while I read diversely year-round, it is nice to also have months where I focus on and highlight those diverse reads and diverse authors just a little more… Continue reading Diverse December Plans
Hey all, Sam here. It has been quite the eventful month, even if it has been not so very productive when it comes to consistent writing, but I should have expected as much because November is usually a difficult month to keep creatively progressing. I know that from 16 years of participating in NaNoWriMo. But… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 3 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. All right, it's time to get a few more posts up, mostly because I have a lot of books to talk about and the longer I procrastinate on that, the worse it gets. I've read over 115 books so far this year (which is actually a semi-low number for me, but… Continue reading NetGalley Review: La Vie de Guinevere by Paula Lafferty
Hey all, Sam here. I guess I'm going to start today's post by referring back to the two previous posts about PaWriCo: first the announcement of my project goals and deadline, and second my Week 1 Check-In. It has been a week since that last check-in, so if I'm serious about trying to work towards… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 2 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. I had to delete the first two paragraphs of today's post...because I had drafted it to be published back in June. Yep, that's right, June. I have been really terrible about blogging about the books I've read in the past couple of years. Honestly, I've looked back at my year-end lists… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne
Hey all, Sam here. So...I'll be completely honest...I have like 20 partially drafted posts for this blog, and some of them have been sitting in the drafts for a few months now. I have had quite a few books in the past handful of months that I've wanted to read and review in time for… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Spellbook Library, Vol 1 by Uta Isaki
Hey all, Sam here. When I posted about my participation in a end-of-year writing challenge last week, I believe I mentioned that I wanted to try and do semi-regular check-ins on my progress. We're just over a week in, so I guess let's talk about my progress... Well, I knew Day 1 was going to… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 1 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. I want to start getting my overdue book reviews up on the page, and I will (hopefully sooner than later), but things in the US are....well, not good, honestly. So I'm trying to be gentle to myself when it comes to forced productivity. Anyway, on Wednesday, my husband took me on… Continue reading Recent Book Haul
Hey all, Sam here. All right....well, honestly, October felt a bit more productive on the reading front, which was really nice. I still have a whole bunch of books I still want to read and need to read. This also means that I have a whole bunch of books that I'd still like to read… Continue reading October Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Well, as I said yesterday, today I'm going to be talking more about my writing plans for the rest of the year. I was an avid participant in NaNoWriMo for years and years, and was an ML for over a decade, but due to a number of issues, I've parted ways… Continue reading Pathfinders Writing Collective (PaWriCo2024)
