NetGalley Review: The Cleaving by Juliet E. McKenna
Hey all, Sam here. David made it home safely very very early this morning, which meant that we slept in quite a bit later than normal today...which threw off the whole day when it came to trying to plan things or get things done. But I think we had a pretty darn good day overall.… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Cleaving by Juliet E. McKenna

Hey all, Sam here. Well...it has been a while since I've been able to really do a proper write-up for Readathon participation...but I'm actually completely free right now and since David has to work during the readathon, I figured I might as well see if I can increase my lead on my reading goals for… Continue reading Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon Spring 2023 TBR

NetGalley Review: Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
Hey all, Sam here. Well, it has been a pretty fun day, and that's why this post is up so late, because I didn't have it completely typed up before we headed off to do some errands and such.
