Hey all, Sam here. Do you know how difficult it was to choose which book was going to be the featured image for this post? There were like three books I wanted to choose, but unless I edited them to be all together in one image, I had to narrow it down to just one.… Continue reading April 2026 Wrap-Up

NetGalley Review: How to Write Romantasy by Jenna Moreci
Hey all, Sam here. I read this book last year, and actually had it finished in time for its release back in October...but then I didn't get the review up. And then I had planned to get it written up for February, to be a nice Weekend Writer post in the same month as Valentine's… Continue reading NetGalley Review: How to Write Romantasy by Jenna Moreci
My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (July-Dec Edition)
Hey all, Sam here. This post should have been up MONTHS ago. It's kind of obvious to say that it has really been a struggle for me to write, whether that is my stories or here on the blog. I'm trying to work my way through some things and find ways to motivate myself to… Continue reading My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (July-Dec Edition)
February 2026 Wrap-Up
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
Goals for 2026
Hey all, Sam here. All right, so I had definitely planned and intended to have this post up in the first few days of the new year. However, due to having to swap from overnight shift to just regular night shift, I have been exhausted and struggling to readjust my sleep schedule...which meant that I… Continue reading Goals for 2026
December Wrap-Up
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
A Fellowship of Librarians & Dragons by J Penner
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. 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.

My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (January-June Edition)
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)
NetGalley Review: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J Penner
Hey all, Sam here I guess I'm just reading and reviewing a bunch of books that started off as indie pub novels and then made the transition to trad pub. You know what, that's fine. Hey, it's even totally fine that I actually already reviewed this book because I never got around to reviewing the… Continue reading NetGalley Review: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J Penner
