Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, when I started getting to the point of reading 150 or so books a year, I realized it was absolutely awful for me to try and narrow that number of books down into a top ten list for the year. It was then that I decided to split… Continue reading My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (January-June Edition)
Hey all, Sam here. Wow. Honestly I can't believe that we're already here to talk about October releases already. This year has absolutely been flying by, but there are times where it legitimately feels like everything has been crawling by at the slowest pace possible...and I truly think that is because so much absolute insanity… Continue reading What I’m Looking Forward to Reading (Hopefully) in October
Hey all, Sam here. While February is a shorter month, I think I stayed decently productive with my reading, although I did have a couple of reading slumps that meant I only technically read for half the month. That's fine. I'll still take what I managed to complete in that time, because it was still… Continue reading February Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. It's the 25th of December, so why not have a post today? Merry Christmas to those who celebrate today, and a Happy Holidays in general because there are so many different holidays at this time of year. I've seen a lot of posts across social media talking about the 25 books… Continue reading 25 in 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I was not as successful at reading in November as I had originally hoped, especially since I had planned to read a bunch of novellas and some short novels. I was also hoping to get a decent amount written for PaWriCo, so I'll have my November writing check-in tomorrow or… Continue reading November Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, I had a book blog friend who hosted a reading challenge at the end of the year called Diverse December...and while I read diversely year-round, it is nice to also have months where I focus on and highlight those diverse reads and diverse authors just a little more… Continue reading Diverse December Plans
Hey all, Sam here. It feels like I'm a little behind schedule with this post, but I promise that I'm not. Usually in the last week or two of a year, I see so many posts and videos and reels where bookternet folks are posting their top ten reads of the year...and sure, there's nothing… Continue reading Top Twenty Reads of 2023
Hey all, Sam here. Hello everyone...can I just say that 2024 is already looking like an incredible reading year? I'm very excited about it. Not only are there a lot of exciting upcoming releases, but I also still have this awesome backlog of books to work my way through as well. Okay, so basically I… Continue reading 2024 Anticipated Reads (So Far)
Hey all, Sam here. As promised yesterday, I have two book reviews for you today, but I'll wait until this evening before posting the second one. I'm trying to keep up on all of my book reviews, especially the NetGalley ones. Yes, I do still have quite a few NetGalley reads that are books that… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Wolfsong by T.J. Klune
Hey all, Sam here. And today I'm not here for a NetGalley read and review. Instead, I am here for a book that will be out TOMORROW. That's right. This book is releasing on June 30th, so now is the perfect time to pre-order/pick up your own copy. I follow author Dan Fitzgerald on Twitter,… Continue reading Book Review: Unpainted by Dan Fitzgerald
