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

Books I Want to Read in January

Hey all, Sam here. Am I starting my year with making a TBR for the month? Yes, I am, and I'm actually feeling very hopeful that I'll be able to complete this list of 10 books in January, because all of them sound incredible...and some of them sound so nice that I can't wait until… Continue reading Books I Want to Read in January

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

#JolabokaflodReadathon 2025

Hey all, Sam here. If I was a more prepared individual then this post would have been up a few days ago. But hey, I should have known that the end of the year brings all kinds of added stress, and that throws things completely out of whack for me. Anyway, I'm thankfully off work… Continue reading #JolabokaflodReadathon 2025

NetGalley Review: The Once and Future Queen by Paula Lafferty

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)

Can I Finish These Books in 2025?

Hey all, Sam here. Welcome to December, which means that 2025 is almost over. That also means that I'm really starting to look back over my accomplishments for the year, as well as planning ahead for 2026 (but I'll have more on that in future posts).

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
