Hey all, Sam here. At the moment I'm not sure if the writing advice I need is the gentle kind or the harsh kind. I mean, obviously I'm trying to be more gentle with myself when I have multiple days (or weeks) in a row where I'm not getting a whole lot of actual writing… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Gentle Writing Advice: How to Be a Writer Without Destroying Yourself by Chuck Wendig
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. 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. Well...March was not nearly as good of a reading month as January or February. While I read 20 books in January and 16 in February, I only managed 8 books in the month of March. And okay, that's still a pretty good amount of books, especially for the average person. I'm… Continue reading March Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. That's it! I'm finally getting this review written up and posted on here. I have been in such a procrastinator mood when it comes to this blog for far too long. I just can't seem to find my rhythm, not after the past couple of years. But I miss having regular… Continue reading NetGalley Manga Review: Manga Classics – Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, M. Chandler, and Linus Liu
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
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, so to go along with today's book review, I am so, so excited to say that I was approved on NetGalley for the third book in Seanan McGuire's Alchemical Journeys series, titled Tidal Creatures, which is coming out this June. The reason this ties into today's review is that this… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Under the Smokestrewn Sky by A. Deborah Baker
Hey all, Sam here. Well, March was a bit of a mixed bag when it came to reading plans and reading actually completed. I had 12 books on my TBR, and as of right now I've completed 4 of them. Obviously I still have a couple days left in the month, so perhaps I can… Continue reading April TBR
