Hey all, Sam here. Well, it has certainly been awhile since the last WIP Wednesday post popped up on this blog. I'm trying to work on getting back into a more consistent schedule, in terms of reading, writing, blogging, and just life in general. Obviously I can't promise anything, but I'm trying to get things… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – April 17, 2024
Hey all, Sam here. I'm going to start off this post by calling myself out, because this is not the first book by Hafsah Faizal that I've read. It's just the first one I've reviewed, even though I meant to review her debut novel a couple years ago...so my current plan is to do a… Continue reading Book Review: A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal
Hey all, Sam here. I'd love to have the energy and enthusiasm to write up a great intro for today's post, but even just sticking to my blogging plan and getting these posts finished and scheduled is proving problematic thanks to my mental health being in a rough patch right now. But I'm going to… Continue reading Book Review: Just Stab Me Now by Jill Bearup
Hey all, Sam here. It's been a fun few days trying to get everything planned out for the month of April. Considering that I have a good number of books I want to read, plus my April Writing goal of adding 30k to my current WIP, I wanted to have as much of this month's… Continue reading NetGalley Review: A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L Jensen
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. Working at a job that doesn't ever close, not even for holidays, it always throws me off when other places actually are closed for the holiday. Take today for instance. It's Easter Sunday, and I had planned to spend a few hours at Panera working on my novel...but because I'm scheduled… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson
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. 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. It's my last day of work for the week. Woohoo! And then I get the next three days off work. I'm hoping to accomplish a decent amount of both reading and writing, although I might try and do some BG3 playing...and possibly I'll do a little TV binging--I'm currently doing a… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Absinthe Underground by Jamie Pacton
