Hey all, Sam here. Oops...I had yesterday's post mostly prepped but forgot to finish it and schedule it, and I got a little busy at work, so I wasn't able to get it posted...which broke my 10 day blog streak. But, since I had the post mostly completed anyway, I'll just do a double post… Continue reading Book Review: Lady of Darkness by Melissa K. Roehrich
Hey all, Sam here. Yes, the reviews just keep coming. I guess that's what happens when it's only April and I've already read 44 books this year...plus there were all the books I read in the last few months of the year last year that I didn't talk about here. So, I'm working on catching… Continue reading Book Review: Forged in Magic by Jenna Wolfhart
Hey all, Sam here. Well...March was not nearly as good of a reading month as January or February. While I read 20 books in January and 16 in February, I only managed 8 books in the month of March. And okay, that's still a pretty good amount of books, especially for the average person. I'm… Continue reading March Wrap-Up
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. 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. All right-y...well, I had this post ready to go for yesterday, and I guess I just didn't remember to hit publish before I closed up my computer to go to work. Thank goodness this series is called Weekend Writer, because I can technically post it late (but still on the weekend)… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Plotting, Pantsing, Plantsing, and April Goals
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another installment of Weekend Writer. Much like I did last month, I'm doing a little deeper of a dive into this month's writing craft book. So, last week I did a general review of The 5 Sentence Method by Rebecca Thorne, and this week I'm actually trying out… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Trying out The 5 Sentence Method by Rebecca Thorne
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. Did I switch up my review schedule last minute so I could write up this review? Yes, I did. And I did it because today is author Bree Moore's birthday, so why not celebrate it with a review of one of her stories? I actually read three books by Bree in… Continue reading Novella Review: Thief of Lies by Bree Moore
Hey all, Sam here. Usually when it comes time for a new year, a lot of people start making New Year's Resolutions...and some even manage to stick to them. Overall though, I tend to see so many of those resolutions get dropped early on in the year...which is why I prefer to set goals for… Continue reading Goals for 2024
