Hey all, Sam here. In the past year or so, cozy fantasy has really been making a splash in the book world, and I've even seen some manga and anime getting in on the cozy fantasy subgenre....and honestly, I'm loving it. I've seen cozy fantasy ranging from low-spice, low-stakes, just cozy cuteness...to cozy vibes with… Continue reading Book Review: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J. Penner
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, so to go along with today's book review, I am so, so excited to say that I was approved on NetGalley for the third book in Seanan McGuire's Alchemical Journeys series, titled Tidal Creatures, which is coming out this June. The reason this ties into today's review is that this… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Under the Smokestrewn Sky by A. Deborah Baker
Hey all, Sam here. Well, March was a bit of a mixed bag when it came to reading plans and reading actually completed. I had 12 books on my TBR, and as of right now I've completed 4 of them. Obviously I still have a couple days left in the month, so perhaps I can… Continue reading April TBR
Hey all, Sam here. It's my last day of work for the week. Woohoo! And then I get the next three days off work. I'm hoping to accomplish a decent amount of both reading and writing, although I might try and do some BG3 playing...and possibly I'll do a little TV binging--I'm currently doing a… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Absinthe Underground by Jamie Pacton
Hey all, Sam here. We've made it back to Friday again already, and since we're in a new month, I guess I'm talking about another writing craft book. If you missed last month's book, Stop Worrying; Start Writing: How to Overcome Fear, Self-Doubt and Procrastination by Sarah Painter, you can go back anytime and check… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The 5 Sentence Method: How to Write Your D*mn Book, Already by Rebecca Thorne
Hey all, Sam here. I did say last week that this week was going to basically be all new release reviews. There were quite a few good books that released March 5th, and I was lucky enough to read three tabletop RPG related ones early. Like today's book, which I received a physical ARC in… Continue reading Book Review: Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks: Bound for Ruin by Jaleigh Johnson
Hey all, Sam here. Here we are with another TTRPG related book review, and yes, I have another one for tomorrow as well. What can I say? This week was a good one for folks who want to read awesome role-playing game related books. I am definitely loving that we are getting more books in… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The No-Girlfriend Rule by Christen Randall
Hey all, Sam here. It honestly feels a little weird to be posting a Tabletop related post on a day that isn't Tuesday...but considering I have two Tabletop-centric books to talk about this week, I guess we're having this one as a Middle Grade Monday post instead. I have definitely been in a tabletop mood… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Table Titans Club by Scott Kurtz
Hey all, Sam here. Wow, we have already finished two months of the year already. In some ways it feels like it has flown by, but in others it has absolutely dragged. I'm so ready for warmer weather. Of course, I can say that 2024 has been a pretty darn great year of reading so… Continue reading February Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, yes, I did get a little distracted from my TBR last month, but I still ended up having a pretty good reading month, so it's all totally fine. I'll have my February wrap-up posted this weekend, because there's still whatever I can read today and tomorrow to add to that… Continue reading March TBR
