August TBR

Hey all, Sam here. Wow, okay, so we're at the end of July, and I think things went pretty well with the TBR for the month, so we'll do it again for August. I mean, okay, I guess it helps that I'm really trying to keep up with my NetGalley release schedule the past few… Continue reading August TBR

NetGalley Review: The Valkyrie’s Shadow by Tiana Warner

Hey all, Sam here. It is getting hot out there. So, where I live in the US is under a heat advisory, with daily temps ending up in the triple digits (or technically the upper limit of double digits while feeling like the triple digits). We're in the kind of days that make you want… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Valkyrie’s Shadow by Tiana Warner

WIP Wednesday – July 26

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. It has been another fulfilling week for us here at Free State of Geek. While we sometimes feel like we don't have all that productive of a week, that's just because to us it does seem a little slow...but in reality we're still doing a lot of… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – July 26

NetGalley Review: Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto

Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another Sunday, and another NetGalley book review. I feel like I'm churning out book reviews at a decent pace, but it also feels like I'm not getting enough done...and I know that's my own mind sort of self-sabotaging me, making me feel less accomplished than I am, but… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto

NetGalley Review: The Sun and the Void by Gabriela Romero-Lacruz

Hey all, Sam here. All right, well today has been an interesting day. Shortly after waking up, I was checking my e-mails, and had one from the Gen Con Writer's Symposium. Unfortunately it held not happy news; it seems that the panel I was most looking forward to has been cancelled. I understand why, because… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Sun and the Void by Gabriela Romero-Lacruz

WIP Wednesday – July 19

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. In just two more weeks we will be on our way to Gen Con. Oh my goodness, we're starting to get really excited about that.

NetGalley Review: Ghosted by Amanda Quain

Hey all, Sam here. If you didn't know this already, spooky season begins on July 5th...which means this contemporary ghost story that is a modern take on Austen's Northanger Abbey is perfectly timed. I'm so ready to get into those fall cozy vibes. Lighting a candle, putting on a crackling fireplace and some mood music,… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Ghosted by Amanda Quain

Book Review: Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

Hey all, Sam here. Okay, I have a feeling that I'm going to end up having a bunch of bonus blog posts that are book reviews coming. Because I'm getting quite a bit of reading done...and I'm planning on having a reading day on Monday, where I'll basically just read and blog prep the whole… Continue reading Book Review: Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

NetGalley Review: The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem

Hey all, Sam here. I'm ready to talk about books some more...Wait. When am I not ready to talk about books? I have such a huge digital stack of books to read, which doesn't look as impressive or imposing as a physical stack, but it also isn't super intimidating either. But there are so many… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem
