Hey all, Sam here. Overall, I'm doing...okay with my January TBR. I have a few more days off before the end of the month, so I'm hoping to get some decent reading time in for those as well, which should get me fairly close to completing my list of hopeful reads for the month. We'll… Continue reading Books I’d Like to Read in February 2026
Hey all, Sam here. My monthly TBRs will usually include NetGalley ARCs for that month, but there are many books that I'm excited about reading that I am not approved for via NetGalley. Now some of these books I may get approved for closer to their release dates, especially since some of them aren't even… Continue reading Some of My 2026 Anticipated Releases
Hey all, Sam here. Am I starting my year with making a TBR for the month?

Hey all, Sam here. If I was a more prepared individual then this post would have been up a few days ago. But hey, I should have known that the end of the year brings all kinds of added stress, and that throws things completely out of whack for me. Anyway, I'm thankfully off work… Continue reading #JolabokaflodReadathon 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome to December, which means that 2025 is almost over. That also means that I'm really starting to look back over my accomplishments for the year, as well as planning ahead for 2026 (but I'll have more on that in future posts). For today, I'm looking back at my 25 in… Continue reading Can I Finish These Books in 2025?
Hey all, Sam here. Wow. Honestly I can't believe that we're already here to talk about October releases already. This year has absolutely been flying by, but there are times where it legitimately feels like everything has been crawling by at the slowest pace possible...and I truly think that is because so much absolute insanity… Continue reading What I’m Looking Forward to Reading (Hopefully) in October
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. Coming to the end of June, it's time to look forward to July and all the fantastic books coming out that I'm looking forward to adding to my shelves. And thankfully there are a number of books I'm adding to my lists. As with any month, there are a number of… Continue reading I’m Looking Forward to These July Releases
Hey all, Sam here. Gosh, this year is kind of flying by, which feels strange considering what a wild ride 2025 has been so far. But here we are, approaching a new month, and that means I'm looking ahead at a whole new slew of book releases. June is another pretty great month for releases,… Continue reading Getting Excited for the Books of June
