Hey all, Sam here.

NetGalley Review: Dark Water Daughter by H.M. Long
Hey all, Sam here. I both love and hate my days off work...love them because they're days when I can relax and do whatever, but hate them because sometimes I want to be doing things and instead I end up taking a nap...which is why this review wasn't up an hour or so ago. Even… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Dark Water Daughter by H.M. Long

July TBR
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, the June TBR actually went pretty well. At least in terms of me having a reading plan for the month...and I mostly stuck to it, even though there were a couple minor adjustments and rearrangements, so... let's try again for July. Starting with...the NetGalley reads I'm hoping to read and… Continue reading July TBR
