Hey all, Sam here. Today, I am so very excited to be on the cover reveal team for an upcoming release. While this book won't be out until early 2025, I was immediately intrigued by the book's title...and then the fact that it is being pitched as gay "Charmed" meets "The Hunger Games." So, yeah,… Continue reading Cover Reveal: The Witch and His Crow by Ben Alderson
Hey all, Sam here. Well all right then, I'm slowly working myself out of that post-Gen Con recovery time. It didn't help that I basically immediately went back to my full-time job with no extra day to just relax, but that's okay. Even with the need for a few days of laziness to recover from… Continue reading ARC Review: Love Across the Tabletop by Kait Disney-Leugers
Hey all, Sam here. Were you expecting a tabletop game related post today because it's the first day of Gen Con? Because that is absolutely what you are getting...because I absolutely love books that incorporate tabletop games (whether that's TTRPGs or any sort of board game/card game/dice game/etc), and there are more and more coming… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Taking Initiative by Elle M. Stewart
Hey all, Sam here. Yes, I know that today is the last day of July, and I normally would do my wrap-up posts on the 2nd or 3rd of the month. However, I already had planned posts for August 1st-4th due to being at Gen Con....so I didn't want to rearrange those just to fit… Continue reading July Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam here. I can't believe I'm working on my August (August?!) TBR already. Where has this year gone? I always look forward to August, because my birthday kicks off the month, and the beginning of the month also marks our annual trip to Gen Con in Indianapolis. I love going to the convention… Continue reading August TBR
Hey all, Sam here. I totally meant to have this post up at the beginning of the month, as in, it was originally drafted with a scheduled release of July 2nd...and that obviously did not happen. That's fine. I guess I'll just post it now, because it still covers a lot of upcoming releases. Anyway...… Continue reading Let’s Talk About Book Releases
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. At the current moment I am feeling rather productive. So, just as a random little spoiler alert....I wrote this post in the middle of May...which feels very far in advance to plan a TBR, but considering I am still really trying to focus on keeping up with my NetGalley reading list,… Continue reading July TBR
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. Here we go...hopefully I'm starting to get the review train rolling down the tracks again. I have a few posts prepped already that I'm trying to finish writing and get scheduled, and then when I get my "weekend" again (which is Tuesday-Thursday) this week, I'll try to get my posts prepped… Continue reading Book Review: The Last Available by Sean R.
