July 2026 Wrap-Up

Hey all, Sam here. Okay, this is a little overdue, but it took me a little longer to recover from Gen Con than I expected. We had a couple of very long days at the convention, and then the two days after we got back, I had to go in to work, so there wasn't… Continue reading July 2026 Wrap-Up

Gen Con 2026 Wrap-Up

Hey all, Sam here. Okay, well, we are still working on physically recovering from Gen Con, but I think we have enough energy to get this post put together. Actually, David has an easier recovery time than me, because I had to go to work Monday and today, because my department at work is rather… Continue reading Gen Con 2026 Wrap-Up

June 2026 Wrap-Up

Hey all, Sam here. All right, here we go....July is already off to a better start than June (because this is my second blog post of the month, and I only had two posts in all of last month). It was a wild and packed month, though, and there is a lot to cover in… Continue reading June 2026 Wrap-Up

PaWriCo’s Bookish Bootcamp 2026

Hey all, Sam here. Okay, so June was obviously a reading focused month, which was wonderful, and I was happy to be able to focus on that, because I really needed a good reading month. I'd missed the feeling of just devouring book after book. That being said, I did mostly let my attention drift… Continue reading PaWriCo’s Bookish Bootcamp 2026

April 2026 Wrap-Up

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

Weekend Writer: Write Brave Challenge 2026

Hey all, Sam here. I almost feel like I have to get this post up. Last night I did something that was a bit of an impulsive splurge. Well...I guess it wasn't all that impulsive.

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
