Hey all, Sam here. I started this blog back in January 2016, which means that this year is my 10th year of doing this, which feels incredibly wild to me. Without a doubt I can say that 2019 and 2020 were the best years of the blog, and the most prolific. I miss being able… Continue reading My Top Ten Posts (So Far)

Hey all, Sam here. I already shared this over on my Instagram and Threads, but I'm also going to post it here because I can add even more information in a blog post than I can do with a social post where I want it to cross-post. Today I have the pleasure of participating in… Continue reading Cover Reveal: Dear Reader: An Immersive Literary Journey Through Taylor Swift’s Lyrics with Guided Journal Prompts and Swiftie Easter Eggs by Viktoria Capek

Hey all, Sam here. I'm wishing a very happy release month to today's review, which was released March 4th. So a few months back I participated in a cover reveal for The Witch and His Crow and I was really looking forward to reading it...and then I went into reading slumps and got distracted by… Continue reading ARC Review: The Witch and His Crow by Ben Alderson
February Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. While February is a shorter month, I think I stayed decently productive with my reading, although I did have a couple of reading slumps that meant I only technically read for half the month. That's fine. I'll still take what I managed to complete in that time, because it was still… Continue reading February Wrap-Up
NetGalley Review: I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming
Hey all, Sam here. I hope your day is not too terrible (although with the current state of the US, I understand if it's not).

December Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. All right, well December ended up being a halfway decent month for reading...even though I didn't read at all for like three weeks. I'm truly hopeful that I'm leaving this terrible reading slump period behind in 2024 where it belongs. Although, I will say that in 2024 the first couple months… Continue reading December Wrap-Up
Goals for 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Happy New Year! Well, at least I hope it is a happy new year. I definitely had to prep this post up in advance because this is the busiest time of the year for my job and I didn't know if I would have the time to get anything written if… Continue reading Goals for 2025
Most Anticipated Releases (Jan-June 2025)
Hey all, Sam here. I try to do this post twice a year, each time covering a six-month chunk of time, but a lot of books come out in that span of time and while I anticipate a whole bunch of books each year, the reality is that I don't come close to reading all… Continue reading Most Anticipated Releases (Jan-June 2025)
