Hey all, Sam here. Why yes, this weekend we get two Weekend Writer posts...which is something that seems to happen somewhat regularly, but that is totally okay. Some weekends you just need a little extra nudge in the writer portion of a creative life. I certainly know that I need a little extra push, a… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass Chapters One and Two

Weekend Writer: July Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. How have we made it to another Friday already? The time seriously just goes flying by. It's mind-boggling sometimes. It feels like we've been doing so much here on the home front, and so there isn't as much downtime as we'd like. But David's getting back into his urge to paint… Continue reading Weekend Writer: July Prompts
NetGalley Review: Poisoned Empire by Elyse Thomson
Hey all, Sam here. I didn't want to take the spotlight away from our posts about the Downtown Summer Market on our Facebook page, so I decided to post today's review a little later than normal. Speaking of, if you aren't already, find us on Facebook at Free State of Geek. It has cross posts… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Poisoned Empire by Elyse Thomson
Manga Review: The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent: The Other Saint Vol 1 by Yuka Tachibana and Aoagu
Hey all, Sam here. It feels fun to be writing a review for this particular manga series (even if it's the first volume of the spin-off) when they just announced that the anime adaptation will be getting a second season, and I am super excited about that. David and I were watching the first season… Continue reading Manga Review: The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent: The Other Saint Vol 1 by Yuka Tachibana and Aoagu
NetGalley Review: Dark Water Daughter by H.M. Long
Hey all, Sam here. I both love and hate my days off work...love them because they're days when I can relax and do whatever, but hate them because sometimes I want to be doing things and instead I end up taking a nap...which is why this review wasn't up an hour or so ago. Even… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Dark Water Daughter by H.M. Long
NetGalley Review: Wolfsong by T.J. Klune
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
June Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam here. I read 19 books in the month of June! That obviously doesn't include the two or three books I'm in the middle of reading and will finish in the next couple of days, because those are technically considered July reads because that's when I'm going to finish them. But, this certainly… Continue reading June Wrap Up

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
July TBR
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, the June TBR actually went pretty well. At least in terms of me having a reading plan for the month...and I mostly stuck to it, even though there were a couple minor adjustments and rearrangements, so... let's try again for July. Starting with...the NetGalley reads I'm hoping to read and… Continue reading July TBR
