Hey all, Sam here. Well...March was not nearly as good of a reading month as January or February. While I read 20 books in January and 16 in February, I only managed 8 books in the month of March. And okay, that's still a pretty good amount of books, especially for the average person. I'm… Continue reading March Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. That's it! I'm finally getting this review written up and posted on here. I have been in such a procrastinator mood when it comes to this blog for far too long. I just can't seem to find my rhythm, not after the past couple of years. But I miss having regular… Continue reading NetGalley Manga Review: Manga Classics – Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, M. Chandler, and Linus Liu
Hey all, Sam here. Working at a job that doesn't ever close, not even for holidays, it always throws me off when other places actually are closed for the holiday. Take today for instance. It's Easter Sunday, and I had planned to spend a few hours at Panera working on my novel...but because I'm scheduled… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson
Hey all, Sam here. In the past year or so, cozy fantasy has really been making a splash in the book world, and I've even seen some manga and anime getting in on the cozy fantasy subgenre....and honestly, I'm loving it.

Basically, in each month, on the first Friday I will use various creativity generators to… Continue reading Weekend Writer: March 2024 Prompt Share
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, so to go along with today's book review, I am so, so excited to say that I was approved on NetGalley for the third book in Seanan McGuire's Alchemical Journeys series, titled Tidal Creatures, which is coming out this June. The reason this ties into today's review is that this… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Under the Smokestrewn Sky by A. Deborah Baker
Hey all, Sam here. Well, March was a bit of a mixed bag when it came to reading plans and reading actually completed. I had 12 books on my TBR, and as of right now I've completed 4 of them. Obviously I still have a couple days left in the month, so perhaps I can… Continue reading April TBR
Hey all, Sam here. All right-y...well, I had this post ready to go for yesterday, and I guess I just didn't remember to hit publish before I closed up my computer to go to work. Thank goodness this series is called Weekend Writer, because I can technically post it late (but still on the weekend)… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Plotting, Pantsing, Plantsing, and April Goals
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another installment of Weekend Writer. Much like I did last month, I'm doing a little deeper of a dive into this month's writing craft book. So, last week I did a general review of The 5 Sentence Method by Rebecca Thorne, and this week I'm actually trying out… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Trying out The 5 Sentence Method by Rebecca Thorne
Hey all, Sam here. It's my last day of work for the week. Woohoo! And then I get the next three days off work. I'm hoping to accomplish a decent amount of both reading and writing, although I might try and do some BG3 playing...and possibly I'll do a little TV binging--I'm currently doing a… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Absinthe Underground by Jamie Pacton
