Hey all, Sam here. I've been doing....okay with my monthly TBRs, reading about one third to one half of the books I put on each list. Certainly that could be better, but it also could be worse, so I guess I'll just accept what I've been able to accomplish and keep hoping for improvement. Thankfully… Continue reading My Hopeful Reads for March 2026
Hey all, Sam here. Overall, I'm doing...okay with my January TBR. I have a few more days off before the end of the month, so I'm hoping to get some decent reading time in for those as well, which should get me fairly close to completing my list of hopeful reads for the month. We'll… Continue reading Books I’d Like to Read in February 2026
Hey all, Sam here. My monthly TBRs will usually include NetGalley ARCs for that month, but there are many books that I'm excited about reading that I am not approved for via NetGalley. Now some of these books I may get approved for closer to their release dates, especially since some of them aren't even… Continue reading Some of My 2026 Anticipated Releases
Hey all, Sam here. This is a long overdue review. I can say that because I read the indie pubbed edition of this book back in October 2024, and then I read the trad pubbed edition in September 2025.....and here we are in December 2025 and I'm finally getting around to writing the review. I… Continue reading A Fellowship of Librarians & Dragons by J Penner
Hey all, Sam here I guess I'm just reading and reviewing a bunch of books that started off as indie pub novels and then made the transition to trad pub. You know what, that's fine. Hey, it's even totally fine that I actually already reviewed this book because I never got around to reviewing the… Continue reading NetGalley Review: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J Penner
Hey all, Sam here. I am kind of on a roll at the moment with getting posts up on my blog in a decently regular schedule. I can almost guarantee that it will not last. The last time I was on a rather regular blogging schedule was back in 2021 before I burned out big… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree
Hey all, Sam here. Yep, I fell off my schedule again. This post was definitely meant to go up about a week ago. I'm sorry. I keep seeing my dozen partially written up drafts and then basically freezing up and not finishing any of them. Somehow I need to figure out how to actually get… Continue reading Book Review: Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree
Hey all, Sam here. It should not take reading a book four times to get a review written up....and yet here I am, a couple years late, finally getting a review written up and posted here. Clearly I enjoy this book. I've read it multiple times (and I own several copies). But I still want… Continue reading Book Review: Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
Hey all, Sam here. Am I back with another cozy fantasy book review? Well of course I am! Yesterday was this book's birthday, so welcome to the world. I literally read this the day after reading The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong, so one could definitely say that I am in a cozy… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife by Deston J Munden
Hey all, Sam here. October has been filled with wonderful reads so far, and I am trying to be better about getting my reviews typed up and posted in a more timely manner. Obviously, I still have so many that I need to catch up on, and I fear that I will always be striving… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong
