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.

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.

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.

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. Welcome back to another installment of Weekend Writer. Much like I did last month, I'm doing a little deeper of a dive into this month's writing craft book.

Hey all, Sam here. It's my last day of work for the week. Woohoo! And then I get the next three days off work. I'm hoping to accomplish a decent amount of both reading and writing, although I might try and do some BG3 playing...and possibly I'll do a little TV binging--I'm currently doing a… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Absinthe Underground by Jamie Pacton
Hey all, Sam here. We've made it back to Friday again already, and since we're in a new month, I guess I'm talking about another writing craft book.

Hey all, Sam here. I did say last week that this week was going to basically be all new release reviews. There were quite a few good books that released March 5th, and I was lucky enough to read three tabletop RPG related ones early.
