Hey all, Sam here. I am so far behind on all of my book reviewing, and my book writing....and just life in general it feels like. Perhaps I shouldn't be so hard on myself, but I look back at the history of this blog to when I actually was posting like 10-12 posts each week… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth
Hey all, Sam here. Well, as we reach the end of another month, it makes sense to start looking forward to what I'm hoping to read in the upcoming month. Now, this year has been a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to actually following through with the TBR, because I often get… Continue reading May TBR
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. Yeah, I definitely planned to have this review up on Tuesday, but things got a little topsy-turvy for a few days, so I had to push back everything on my blog schedule so I could accommodate the fact that I had mostly prepared four posts but then didn't finish/schedule them. I'll… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Mammoths at the Gates by Nghi Vo
Hey all, Sam here. Oops...I had yesterday's post mostly prepped but forgot to finish it and schedule it, and I got a little busy at work, so I wasn't able to get it posted...which broke my 10 day blog streak. But, since I had the post mostly completed anyway, I'll just do a double post… Continue reading Book Review: Lady of Darkness by Melissa K. Roehrich
Hey all, Sam here. It’s the start of a new month, and that means it’s time for more Weekend Writer prompts! As I mentioned in a previous post, I am making some changes to how this blog series works, mostly because I was spending so much time prepping and writing these weekly posts and it… Continue reading Weekend Writer: April 2024 Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. Yes, the reviews just keep coming. I guess that's what happens when it's only April and I've already read 44 books this year...plus there were all the books I read in the last few months of the year last year that I didn't talk about here. So, I'm working on catching… Continue reading Book Review: Forged in Magic by Jenna Wolfhart
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
