Hey all, Sam here. We have made it halfway through the year! Somehow we have survived half of this year. At times it has absolutely been a struggle, but here we are, still trying to keep going. This has been such a difficult year already, and I know a lot of us are concerned about… Continue reading June Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Gosh, this year is kind of flying by, which feels strange considering what a wild ride 2025 has been so far. But here we are, approaching a new month, and that means I'm looking ahead at a whole new slew of book releases. June is another pretty great month for releases,… Continue reading Getting Excited for the Books of June
Hey all, Sam here. While February is a shorter month, I think I stayed decently productive with my reading, although I did have a couple of reading slumps that meant I only technically read for half the month. That's fine. I'll still take what I managed to complete in that time, because it was still… Continue reading February Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Well.... we are well over a week into February and I'm just now getting this post up. I had it mostly written and it should have been up around February 2nd or 3rd, but I definitely dropped the ball, and the only excuse I have is that the US is a… Continue reading January Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. All right, well December ended up being a halfway decent month for reading...even though I didn't read at all for like three weeks. I'm truly hopeful that I'm leaving this terrible reading slump period behind in 2024 where it belongs. Although, I will say that in 2024 the first couple months… Continue reading December Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Happy New Year! Well, at least I hope it is a happy new year. I definitely had to prep this post up in advance because this is the busiest time of the year for my job and I didn't know if I would have the time to get anything written if… Continue reading Goals for 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I was not as successful at reading in November as I had originally hoped, especially since I had planned to read a bunch of novellas and some short novels. I was also hoping to get a decent amount written for PaWriCo, so I'll have my November writing check-in tomorrow or… Continue reading November Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, I had a book blog friend who hosted a reading challenge at the end of the year called Diverse December...and while I read diversely year-round, it is nice to also have months where I focus on and highlight those diverse reads and diverse authors just a little more… Continue reading Diverse December Plans
Hey all, Sam here. I want to start getting my overdue book reviews up on the page, and I will (hopefully sooner than later), but things in the US are....well, not good, honestly. So I'm trying to be gentle to myself when it comes to forced productivity. Anyway, on Wednesday, my husband took me on… Continue reading Recent Book Haul
Hey all, Sam here. As we near the end of the year, I have a whole lot still on my to-do list. One of the big things is trying to focus a bit more on writing my book (and I'll talk more about that tomorrow). So, when it comes to reading...yes, I do still have… Continue reading Novellavember TBR
