July Wrap-Up

Hey all, Sam here. All right, well today we have another post that I had about 95% of the way drafted before leaving for Gen Con.

NetGalley Review: Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz

Hey all, Sam here. Sometimes you just have to rearrange your reading plans because you get approved for a book that sounds really interesting and you really want to read it. That is what had to happen when a copy of today's book landed on my Kindle. Honestly, I tried to hold off on reading… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz

NetGalley Review: Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks: Dealing with Dragons by Jaleigh Johnson

Hey all, Sam here. With Gen Con starting tomorrow, I'm definitely in a tabletop gaming mood, which in general is true because I'm in two rather awesome gaming groups and we have a couple rather fun D&D campaigns going. But lately I've been even more in a epic heroes quest/fantasy adventure mood because of some… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks: Dealing with Dragons by Jaleigh Johnson

NetGalley Review: The Starlight Heir by Amalie Howard

Hey all, Sam here. Today's review is definitely proof that sometimes I am really bad at getting my reviews written and posted in a timely manner. This was...I believe...the second book I completed in 2025 (as in I marked it as finished on January 5th). And yet, here we are, almost at the end of… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Starlight Heir by Amalie Howard

Manga Review: Betrayed by the Hero, I Formed a MILF Party with His Mom! Vol 1 by Ishino Yassan and Makoto Kuon

Hey all, Sam here. You know what, I haven't done a manga review post in quite some time (probably because it's been a bit since I've read any), so let's have a Manga Monday again. I make no promises about being able to bring this back every Monday, but I should try and get back… Continue reading Manga Review: Betrayed by the Hero, I Formed a MILF Party with His Mom!

I'm starting to see a whole bunch more of these types of books coming out, and honestly, I want… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Roll for Romance by Lenora Woods
