Hey all, Sam here. I had to delete the first two paragraphs of today's post...because I had drafted it to be published back in June. Yep, that's right, June. I have been really terrible about blogging about the books I've read in the past couple of years. Honestly, I've looked back at my year-end lists… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne
Hey all, Sam here. All right....well, honestly, October felt a bit more productive on the reading front, which was really nice. I still have a whole bunch of books I still want to read and need to read. This also means that I have a whole bunch of books that I'd still like to read… Continue reading October Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, yes, it has been a while...a little over a month, honestly, since my last post...and I am sorry about that. Between reading (although not finishing as many books as I wanted), work, writing, and D&D, I haven't had a whole lot of free time for other stuff. But I still… Continue reading September Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Well....August was another interesting reading month. It took a whole week for me to even have one completed book for the month. Overall, the number of reads for this month is actually pretty darn good. However, most of those reads were shorter or quicker reads: a handful of novellas, a couple… Continue reading August Wrap-Up
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. 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. 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.
