Hey all, Sam here I guess I'm just reading and reviewing a bunch of books that started off as indie pub novels and then made the transition to trad pub. You know what, that's fine. Hey, it's even totally fine that I actually already reviewed this book because I never got around to reviewing the… Continue reading NetGalley Review: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J Penner
Hey all, Sam here. I have not had much to say around here when it comes to writing progress. I wish I had a better answer than saying that life keeps getting in the way. But sometimes that's just what it is. I wanted to participate in the Write Brave Challenge and try outlining up… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing Update
Hey all, Sam here. I wanted to have this review written up and posted before the end of August, but I ran out of time because work was pretty stressful...and in the weeks since I've just been struggling to figure out a balance between work, a desire to read, a need to rest, and wishing… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer
Hey all, Sam here. Somehow we're nearing the end of this writing habit challenge. I think overall it has been a productive challenge for me, but I still absolutely admit that I could have done better towards my goals. My final update will be next week (while I'm at Gen Con, so that's extra fun).… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 18-24 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. Today I'd like to wish a very happy book birthday to Soulgazer by Maggie Rapier. This is the first book in the Wolf and Magpie duology. I was lucky enough to be offered a digital copy through NetGalley, and I gladly accepted because the book sounded interesting. As always, I will… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Soulgazer by Maggie Rapier
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another fiction focused Tabletop Tuesday, because yes, I have read yet another book where one of the main focuses of the story is all the characters playing TTRPGs together. I'm starting to see a whole bunch more of these types of books coming out, and honestly, I want… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Roll for Romance by Lenora Woods
Hey all, Sam here. Hello and happy book birthday to today's review. I meant to have this posted earlier today, but by the time I got off work late last night, the last thing I wanted to do was to open my computer and finalize this post. Still, I at least have it up on… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Realm of Thieves by Karina Halle
Hey all, Sam here. I definitely meant to have this post up on Tuesday, but we had a huge storm come through and we lost power for a good portion of the day. Then Wednesday we were doing the final bits of prep work for a downtown market we vend David's 3d prints at, and… Continue reading May Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. I hope your day is not too terrible (although with the current state of the US, I understand if it's not). As long as I can, I plan to continue talking about books and board games and D&D and attempts at creative writing (although I definitely admit my writing productivity has… Continue reading NetGalley Review: I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming
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
