Hey all, Sam here. Back in the early days of my blog, long before it became Free State of Geek and long before Mondays became Manga Mondays here...it used to be Middle Grade Monday. Even now, as an almost 36 year old woman, I still hold a great affection for Middle Grade books. They are… Continue reading NetGalley Review: First Test Graphic Novel by Tamora Pierce, Devin Grayson, and Becca Farrow
Hey all, Sam here. My review list just keeps getting longer, but I guess that's what happens when you're reading a lot and just not blogging a lot, so it's entirely my fault. I'll just need to keep trying to set aside some time for myself to prep up a handful of posts, and then… Continue reading NetGalley Review: An Outbreak of Witchcraft by Deborah Noyes and M. Duffy
Hey all, Sam here. It's Manga Monday once again! And yes, today's review is for a very recently completed read....as in, I read this whole thing yesterday, although I imagine none of you are surprised by that because I have said many times that I read manga rather quickly. Anyway, I really enjoy reading the… Continue reading Manga Review: Manga Classics – Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare, Crystal S. Chan, and Julien Choy
Hey all, Sam here. So....my entire TBR for the month of June is NetGalley reads for releases in June and the beginning of July. I know. I know. I typically select some NetGalley books and then choose a few from my physical TBR that I'd love to read. I'll explain the reason for this switch-up… Continue reading June TBR
Hey all, Sam here. Hello and Happy Book Birthday to Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis, the lovely book that I'm going to be talking about today. Book Birthdays are some of my favorite days. It's like I celebrate the book by buying it and taking it home, which is a fantastic way to enjoy the day.… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis
Hey all, Sam here. Hello, and welcome back to another Manga Monday. It's been a little while since I've done this regularly. I need to look at where I left off on some of my longer series reviews, so I can jump back into those (series like Black Clover, My Hero Academia, and One Piece).… Continue reading Manga Review: Manga Classics – Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Nokman Poon, Stacy King, and Crystal S Chan
Hey all, Sam here. Oh yeah, the reviews just keep coming in, and I'm trying to focus on books that are releasing around now. But I do still have a nice backlog that I also need to get around to, and I'll hopefully be able to do that a bit more in the next couple… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Honey Witch by Sydney J Shields
Hey all, Sam here. Blogging catch up continues. I have so many books that I've read this year (I'm at almost 70 books already) and I still need to review them. I can only blame myself for not getting the posts drafted and scheduled in a timely manner. Anyway, I'm trying to get myself focused… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Attached at the Hip by Christine Riccio
Hey all, Sam here. Apparently we're going from a YA book that features an online game based on Arthurian legend to a fantasy romance that is a twist on Arthurian legend. So that's fun. Anyway, I'm really trying to get some posts prepped and written and scheduled. No promises that we'll be able to stay… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Queen of None by Natania Barron
Hey all, Sam here. I am so far behind on all of my book reviewing, and my book writing....and just life in general it feels like. Perhaps I shouldn't be so hard on myself, but I look back at the history of this blog to when I actually was posting like 10-12 posts each week… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth
