My Top Ten Posts (So Far)

Hey all, Sam here. I started this blog back in January 2016, which means that this year is my 10th year of doing this, which feels incredibly wild to me. Without a doubt I can say that 2019 and 2020 were the best years of the blog, and the most prolific. I miss being able… Continue reading My Top Ten Posts (So Far)

Goals for 2025

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

ARC Review: Love Across the Tabletop by Kait Disney-Leugers

Hey all, Sam here. Well all right then, I'm slowly working myself out of that post-Gen Con recovery time. It didn't help that I basically immediately went back to my full-time job with no extra day to just relax, but that's okay. Even with the need for a few days of laziness to recover from… Continue reading ARC Review: Love Across the Tabletop by Kait Disney-Leugers
