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

August 2026 TBR

Hey all, Sam here. It's somehow the end of July already, and Gen Con is just a couple of days away. Oh, I should go ahead and say that my July wrap-up post won't be up until I've had a couple of days to recover from the con. I know most of the time I… Continue reading August 2026 TBR

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

July 2026 TBR

Hey all, Sam here. After the amazing reading month I had in June, I'm ready to keep on reading, BUT I also want to give a little more priority to writing time as well. I basically neglected my writing all of June to indulge in a reading competition with a friend. That being said, I… Continue reading July 2026 TBR

May 2026 Wrap-Up

Hey all, Sam here. So....my May wrap-up is coming up so late because I've been deep in the trenches of binge-reading. That is absolutely because of the Pride Month reading challenge issued by my co-worker, and I'm not at all complaining about how much I'm reading. It has felt incredible. But it has meant that… Continue reading May 2026 Wrap-Up

A Bonus Pride June TBR

Hey all, Sam here. So, of course, the same day as my June TBR post goes live, I have a co-worker who has decided that it would be fun for us to having a reading contest. Now, I should say that I love this co-worker, and it's overall a low stakes contest...but it does mean… Continue reading A Bonus Pride June TBR

What’s On My June TBR?

Hey all, Sam here. So May has been a pretty decent month for reading, and I'm honestly hoping to keep that reading momentum going in June. What's also really fun is that June is my last month of reading before I compile my Top Ten Reads of 2026 (January-June Edition) post. There's already a pretty… Continue reading What’s On My June TBR?

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

What I Hope to Read in May 2026

Hey all, Sam here. I've had a pretty good reading month for April, and that has been really nice. I even managed to tackle a couple chonky books, which is always a great feeling, and I'll talk about all of those in less than a week (have to finish the month first because I'm still… Continue reading What I Hope to Read in May 2026

My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (July-Dec Edition)

Hey all, Sam here. This post should have been up MONTHS ago. It's kind of obvious to say that it has really been a struggle for me to write, whether that is my stories or here on the blog. I'm trying to work my way through some things and find ways to motivate myself to… Continue reading My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (July-Dec Edition)
