Hey all, Sam here. While I'm a believer that Spooky Season begins August 1st (because I enjoy the season and why not enjoy it as long as possible), I know there are some that declare it finally fall/spooky season come September 1st, or possibly after Starbucks brings back the Pumpkin Spice Latte. By any of… Continue reading Spooky Season 2025 TBR
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to the blog. Today I have a book review for you, and for once I'm actually on top of things and getting this review posted BEFORE the book releases. But don't worry, you don't have to wait much longer for this one. The release date is September 9th, 2025,… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Ghost Business by Jen DeLuca
Hey all, Sam here. As we have reached "Spooky Season," I'm wanting to read more books that fill that vibe, so hopefully in my next couple monthly wrap-ups (and very hopefully in some of the upcoming book reviews) I'll be able to fill it with books of magic and atmosphere plus books of witches, ghosts,… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Casket Case by Lauren Evans
Hey all, Sam here. I have been a little lax with my blog posting this month, after finally catching up to my personal blogging goals in the last couple months, but it took me a little longer to get caught up on rest after Gen Con this year. But I have read some great books… Continue reading I’m Anticipating the Release of these September Books!
Hey all, Sam here. All right, well today we have another post that I had about 95% of the way drafted before leaving for Gen Con. I couldn't completely finish it until yesterday, just in case I managed to squeeze in a little extra reading or writing time. Tonight David and I are going to… Continue reading July Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Sometimes you just have to rearrange your reading plans because you get approved for a book that sounds really interesting and you really want to read it. That is what had to happen when a copy of today's book landed on my Kindle. Honestly, I tried to hold off on reading… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz
Hey all, Sam here. With Gen Con starting tomorrow, I'm definitely in a tabletop gaming mood, which in general is true because I'm in two rather awesome gaming groups and we have a couple rather fun D&D campaigns going. But lately I've been even more in a epic heroes quest/fantasy adventure mood because of some… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks: Dealing with Dragons by Jaleigh Johnson
Hey all, Sam here. Honestly, August feels like a slower month for book releases, but it's also my birthday month, so I'm just always excited for it to come around again. Reaching my birthday each year makes me daydream about all the books I might get to read over the next year of my life....while… Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward to in August
Hey all, Sam here. Today's review is definitely proof that sometimes I am really bad at getting my reviews written and posted in a timely manner. This was...I believe...the second book I completed in 2025 (as in I marked it as finished on January 5th). And yet, here we are, almost at the end of… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Starlight Heir by Amalie Howard
Hey all, Sam here. Today I'd like to wish a very happy book birthday to Soulgazer by Maggie Rapier. This is the first book in the Wolf and Magpie duology. I was lucky enough to be offered a digital copy through NetGalley, and I gladly accepted because the book sounded interesting. As always, I will… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Soulgazer by Maggie Rapier
