Hey all, Sam here. Well....it feels like June was a bit of a failure when it comes to reading. During the first half of the month it seemed like things were looking great, like I was going to match my reading for May (or possibly even exceed it), but then the second half of the… Continue reading June Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Back in the early days of my blog, long before it became Free State of Geek and long before Mondays became Manga Mondays here...it used to be Middle Grade Monday. Even now, as an almost 36 year old woman, I still hold a great affection for Middle Grade books. They are… Continue reading NetGalley Review: First Test Graphic Novel by Tamora Pierce, Devin Grayson, and Becca Farrow
Hey all, Sam here. It honestly feels a little weird to be posting a Tabletop related post on a day that isn't Tuesday...but considering I have two Tabletop-centric books to talk about this week, I guess we're having this one as a Middle Grade Monday post instead. I have definitely been in a tabletop mood… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Table Titans Club by Scott Kurtz
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. It's the first of April, but that doesn't mean that we're going to do some sort of joke post here on Free State of Geek. Well....at least not this year. A good joke or prank would require planning on our part, and we've been a bit busy recently. I guess this… Continue reading Graphic Novel Review: Animorphs #3: The Encounter by K.A. Applegate, Michael Grant, and Chris Grine
Hey all, Sam here. So I think I'm about to have some bonus posts come up on the blog, because I am actually starting to get back into reading, and that means I have a bunch of books to talk about. Since I only currently post three book reviews a week, if I'm reading more… Continue reading Graphic Novel Review: Animorphs #2: The Visitor by K.A. Applegate, Michael Grant, and Chris Grine
Hey all, Sam here. Fan Expo Cleveland is wrapping up now, and overall, I think it has been a pretty productive weekend. Oh, and I am pleased to announce that our cat Luna has returned home. She took shelter on our porch Friday night because it was starting to rain heavily, and a friend went… Continue reading Graphic Novel Review: Animorphs #1: The Invasion by K.A. Applegate, Michael Grant, and Chris Grine
Hey all, Sam here. So....I was trying to work on catching up on reading wrap-ups and book haul posts and subscription box unboxing posts all those months ago...and I was able to do a few--well, a few unboxing posts--before I fell back into a blogging slump and life got so crazy and busy and all… Continue reading 2022 Book Haul!
Hey all, Dani here. I can't believe we're nearing the end of August already, and it's time to start looking ahead to September. So, when I opened up my Anticipated Releases spreadsheet, I had to go through the books I had listed for the month of September so I could verify that the release dates… Continue reading September Anticipated Releases
Hey all, Dani here. I am so excited for our upcoming "vacation"! Would it be more appropriate to call it a staycation? See, I'm unsure, because we're going to a hotel...but then we're just staying in the hotel for a virtual convention. The hotel as a location will just give us access to reliable internet… Continue reading Graphic Novel Review: The Weirn Books – Be Wary of the Silent Woods by Svetlana Chmakova
