Hey all, Sam here. Somehow we're nearing the end of this writing habit challenge. I think overall it has been a productive challenge for me, but I still absolutely admit that I could have done better towards my goals. My final update will be next week (while I'm at Gen Con, so that's extra fun).… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 18-24 Check-In
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. Four weeks down, two weeks to go. I think this is the longest I've been able to stick with a writing challenge in quite a while, even if I feel like I could be doing a bit better. Well, with another week completed, I guess it's time to look back on… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 11-17 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. Wow, all right, so we are already halfway through this Bookish Bootcamp that focuses on writing skills and wellness drills. I think I could probably be doing a little better with it, but I'm still meeting my goals, so I'll consider it to be a decent writing progress anyway. Well, with… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 4-10th Check-In
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
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, this post is a couple hours later than I had planned, but I needed to have a late start for the day so I could do a little bit of relaxing. This past week was a doozy and I am glad that it is over. Anyway, we have reached my… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp June 27 – July 3 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. We have made it halfway through the year! Somehow we have survived half of this year. At times it has absolutely been a struggle, but here we are, still trying to keep going. This has been such a difficult year already, and I know a lot of us are concerned about… Continue reading June Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. You know what, I haven't done a manga review post in quite some time (probably because it's been a bit since I've read any), so let's have a Manga Monday again. I make no promises about being able to bring this back every Monday, but I should try and get back… Continue reading Manga Review: Betrayed by the Hero, I Formed a MILF Party with His Mom! Vol 1 by Ishino Yassan and Makoto Kuon
Hey all, Sam here. I think today is a good day to review a book, especially since I have so many books I still need to review. While I do have a whole bunch of books I've read and would like to talk about, my primary review focus is on my NetGalley reads at the… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Pearly Gates by Bonnie Solomon
Hey all, Sam here. All right, well we have finished the first week of the PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp, and I figured it would be a nice time to check-in and give a breakdown of how my week went for this whole challenge. Some days are a little more active than others, but I tried to… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp June 20-26 Check-In
