Hey all, Sam here. I have not had much to say around here when it comes to writing progress. I wish I had a better answer than saying that life keeps getting in the way. But sometimes that's just what it is. I wanted to participate in the Write Brave Challenge and try outlining up… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing Update
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to the blog. Today I have a book review for you, and for once I'm actually on top of things and getting this review posted BEFORE the book releases. But don't worry, you don't have to wait much longer for this one. The release date is September 9th, 2025,… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Ghost Business by Jen DeLuca
Hey all, Sam here. As we have reached "Spooky Season," I'm wanting to read more books that fill that vibe, so hopefully in my next couple monthly wrap-ups (and very hopefully in some of the upcoming book reviews) I'll be able to fill it with books of magic and atmosphere plus books of witches, ghosts,… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Casket Case by Lauren Evans

Stewart

I always look forward to August, because my birthday kicks off the month, and the beginning of the month also marks our annual trip to Gen Con in Indianapolis. I love going to the convention… Continue reading August TBR

So, just as a random little spoiler alert....I wrote this post in the middle of May...which feels very far in advance to plan a TBR, but considering I am still really trying to focus on keeping up with my NetGalley reading list,… Continue reading July TBR
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
