WIP Wednesday – June 28

Hey all, Sam and David here today. There has been so much going on over here at Free State of Geek, both individually and together.

Mid Year Book Freakout Tag (2023 Edition)

Hey all, Sam here. So...I did this tag in 2017, 2018, and 2019...and then for some reason just skipped it the past couple years. But you know, what, let's bring it back. The rules are super simple...answer the prompts. Well, I guess technically you need to think about the fact that all of the prompts… Continue reading Mid Year Book Freakout Tag (2023 Edition)

NetGalley Review: The Warden by Daniel M. Ford

Hey all, Sam here. The reading and reviews just keep happening, and it honestly feels so very nice. I can feel my reading drive returning. It feels like the return of a long-lost friend, and I've missed wanting to read this much. I am loving it, and I think I've read like 15 or so… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Warden by Daniel M. Ford

Book Review: This Doesn’t Mean Anything by Sarah Whalen

Hey all, Sam here. And finishing up my weekly bonus post Pride Month reviews, I actually have a newer fiction release to talk about.

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Thirteen and Fourteen by Jessica Brody

Hey all, Sam here. I can't believe that this book is nearing its end. After today's post, next week will cover the final chapter. But hey, don't worry. I've found this book to be quite informative, and there's also apparently a YA Novel one that just came out in May, so I'm definitely going to… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

NetGalley Review: Court of the Undying Seasons by A.M. Strickland

Hey all, Sam here. You know...almost every time I log into NetGalley so I can update my reviews to improve my ratio, I find that I've been approved for another book or two...or three. Today I logged on and found one new book and it is a September release. But it does make it difficult… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Court of the Undying Seasons by A.M. Strickland

WIP Wednesday – June 21

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. There's something really calming about having a consistent schedule, at least when it comes to certain things...knowing when your "weekend" is, having a schedule for blogging or reading or writing or whatever. I just enjoy the regularity of it all. Anyway, welcome back to our middle of… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – June 21

Manga Review: The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent Vol 6 by Yuka Tachibana and Fujiazuki

Hey all, Sam here. I have had a mostly lazy couple of days, but they haven't been as productive as I had hoped they'd be. But that's okay, honestly. I think I needed a little break from things, and I can do blog writing and book reading during the work week, so it's all fine.… Continue reading Manga Review: The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent Vol 6 by Yuka Tachibana and Fujiazuki

NetGalley Review: A Thousand Recipes for Revenge by Beth Cato

Hey all, Sam here. This post was supposed to go live a few hours ago, but a rainstorm came through and I was still feeling a little tired....so I ended up taking a little nap. Whoops. It happens. This is my first weekend after a full week of work this year, and I'm liking the… Continue reading NetGalley Review: A Thousand Recipes for Revenge by Beth Cato
