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
Hey all, Sam here. I try to do this post twice a year, each time covering a six-month chunk of time, but a lot of books come out in that span of time and while I anticipate a whole bunch of books each year, the reality is that I don't come close to reading all… Continue reading Most Anticipated Releases (Jan-June 2025)
Hey all, Sam here. It's the 25th of December, so why not have a post today? Merry Christmas to those who celebrate today, and a Happy Holidays in general because there are so many different holidays at this time of year. I've seen a lot of posts across social media talking about the 25 books… Continue reading 25 in 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, I had a book blog friend who hosted a reading challenge at the end of the year called Diverse December...and while I read diversely year-round, it is nice to also have months where I focus on and highlight those diverse reads and diverse authors just a little more… Continue reading Diverse December Plans
Hey all, Sam here. As we near the end of the year, I have a whole lot still on my to-do list. One of the big things is trying to focus a bit more on writing my book (and I'll talk more about that tomorrow). So, when it comes to reading...yes, I do still have… Continue reading Novellavember TBR
Hey all, Sam here. As I said in yesterday's post, I definitely decided against making a TBR for October since we're already nearly halfway into the month...and since I'm going to be focusing on writing my book in November, I probably won't do a TBR for next month either. However...there are a bunch of books… Continue reading Books I’d Like to Read This Fall
