Book Review: Rising Fire by Terri Brisbin
Hey all, Sam here. All right...we know what day it is...basically it's one of the many days each week that I spend talking about books. What can I say? I read quite a bit and that means that I have quite a few books to talk about at any given time. Honestly I just wish… Continue reading Book Review: Rising Fire by Terri Brisbin
Weekend Writer: Writing with Emotion, Tension, & Conflict by Cheryl St. John Chapters 1
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another bookish deep dive for Weekend Writer. So, if you've been paying attention, I was supposed to spend this month finishing up my deep dive into The Emotional Craft of Writing by Donald Maass...but I just wasn't connecting to the book and it just wasn't working for me.… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing with Emotion, Tension, & Conflict by Cheryl St. John Chapters 1
NetGalley Review: Empire of Exiles by Erin M Evans
Hey all, Sam here. It's the final day of Gen Con, and I think today is going to be a little more chill. I decided not to go to my Sunday panel, because it was technically one I went to last year, and all I had planned to do was to see if new advice… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Empire of Exiles by Erin M Evans
NetGalley Review: The First Binding by R.R. Virdi
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome to me talking about the best book I've read so far in 2023. Yes, that is how I am starting this post.

July Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam here. It's my birthday!! I'll be working today, but tomorrow after work, David and I will be heading to Gen Con, so that's like my birthday present to myself: four days of tabletop games and geeking out with other awesome people. I look forward to this every single year. But first, let's… Continue reading July Wrap Up
Manga Review: One Piece Vol 1 by Eiichiro Oda
Hey all, Sam here. I finally took the plunge into One Piece. David talks about it all the time (much like he does with Dragon Ball Z and Naruto), and I had originally decided that reading the manga would be the faster and easier way for me to catch up with the series...but with the… Continue reading Manga Review: One Piece Vol 1 by Eiichiro Oda
NetGalley Review: Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by S Jae-Jones
Hey all, Sam here. We are just a few days away from Gen Con...and David and I are trying to adjust to our work schedules...for this week and next week they are a little wonky because of our vacation as well as some co-worker vacations, but it'll be okay. We'll get through the next few… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by S Jae-Jones
NetGalley Review: The Valkyrie’s Shadow by Tiana Warner
Hey all, Sam here. It is getting hot out there. So, where I live in the US is under a heat advisory, with daily temps ending up in the triple digits (or technically the upper limit of double digits while feeling like the triple digits). We're in the kind of days that make you want… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Valkyrie’s Shadow by Tiana Warner
NetGalley Review: Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another Sunday, and another NetGalley book review. I feel like I'm churning out book reviews at a decent pace, but it also feels like I'm not getting enough done...and I know that's my own mind sort of self-sabotaging me, making me feel less accomplished than I am, but… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto
