Hey all, Sam here. February was an interesting month. Honestly work was pretty stressful the first couple weeks of the month, and I started to think that I was going to end up getting nothing done because I was just so tired from all of it. To be completely honest, all the stress is driving… Continue reading February 2026 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. I've been doing....okay with my monthly TBRs, reading about one third to one half of the books I put on each list. Certainly that could be better, but it also could be worse, so I guess I'll just accept what I've been able to accomplish and keep hoping for improvement. Thankfully… Continue reading My Hopeful Reads for March 2026
Hey all, Sam here. Well, somehow January is over already. I'm honestly getting rather tired of months that feel simultaneously very long and slow but also very fast. It feels like every day feels like an eternity with so much awful stuff happening, but then we're already a whole month into 2026 already and how… Continue reading January 2026 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Overall, I'm doing...okay with my January TBR. I have a few more days off before the end of the month, so I'm hoping to get some decent reading time in for those as well, which should get me fairly close to completing my list of hopeful reads for the month. We'll… Continue reading Books I’d Like to Read in February 2026
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I suppose I underestimated how much the schedule shift at work was going to throw my home life into chaos. I had fully expected to have this written and posted on the 2nd or 3rd, and obviously that did not happen. Those two days off were spent trying to readjust… Continue reading December Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Am I starting my year with making a TBR for the month? Yes, I am, and I'm actually feeling very hopeful that I'll be able to complete this list of 10 books in January, because all of them sound incredible...and some of them sound so nice that I can't wait until… Continue reading Books I Want to Read in January
Hey all, Sam here. This is a long overdue review. I can say that because I read the indie pubbed edition of this book back in October 2024, and then I read the trad pubbed edition in September 2025.....and here we are in December 2025 and I'm finally getting around to writing the review. I… Continue reading A Fellowship of Librarians & Dragons by J Penner
Hey all, Sam here. If I was a more prepared individual then this post would have been up a few days ago. But hey, I should have known that the end of the year brings all kinds of added stress, and that throws things completely out of whack for me. Anyway, I'm thankfully off work… Continue reading #JolabokaflodReadathon 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Happy Book Birthday to Paula Lafferty today for the trad pub release of The Once and Future Queen. Originally self-published as La Vie de Guinevere, this book was a fast success, after a massively successful Kickstarter, and lots of social media buzz. I read and reviewed the self-pubbed edition last year,… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Once and Future Queen by Paula Lafferty
Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, when I started getting to the point of reading 150 or so books a year, I realized it was absolutely awful for me to try and narrow that number of books down into a top ten list for the year. It was then that I decided to split… Continue reading My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (January-June Edition)
