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. Okay, so I know that I dropped the ball when it came to my Weekend Writer posts in the month of May. Obviously I didn't manage to get a prompt post created, but I also didn't share my writing from my prompts in April, so I'll share that post next week,… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Linchpin Writer: Crafting Your Novel’s Key Moments by John Matthew Fox
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
Hey all, Sam here. So I finished...10 books in April. That's honestly not bad at all, although it is still lower than what I'm used to. When I was really dialed in to my reading and blogging, so around 2018-2019, I was reading something like 20 books each month, and posting something like 45 posts… Continue reading April Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. All right...let's see if I can get back on track with my review schedule, because I am falling more and more behind with every little hiatus I take, and that is not fun for me. It's starting to get difficult to try and find a balance between my overdue reviews and… Continue reading Manga Review: Manga Classics – The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Crystal Chan, and SunNeko Lee
Hey all, Sam here. Well, it has certainly been awhile since the last WIP Wednesday post popped up on this blog. I'm trying to work on getting back into a more consistent schedule, in terms of reading, writing, blogging, and just life in general. Obviously I can't promise anything, but I'm trying to get things… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – April 17, 2024
Hey all, Sam here. I'm going to start off this post by calling myself out, because this is not the first book by Hafsah Faizal that I've read. It's just the first one I've reviewed, even though I meant to review her debut novel a couple years ago...so my current plan is to do a… Continue reading Book Review: A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal
Hey all, Sam here. I'd love to have the energy and enthusiasm to write up a great intro for today's post, but even just sticking to my blogging plan and getting these posts finished and scheduled is proving problematic thanks to my mental health being in a rough patch right now. But I'm going to… Continue reading Book Review: Just Stab Me Now by Jill Bearup
Hey all, Sam here. Yeah, I definitely planned to have this review up on Tuesday, but things got a little topsy-turvy for a few days, so I had to push back everything on my blog schedule so I could accommodate the fact that I had mostly prepared four posts but then didn't finish/schedule them. I'll… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Mammoths at the Gates by Nghi Vo
