Hey all, Sam here. I've been doing....okay with my monthly TBRs, reading about one third to one half of the books I put on each list. Certainly that could be better, but it also could be worse, so I guess I'll just accept what I've been able to accomplish and keep hoping for improvement. Thankfully… Continue reading My Hopeful Reads for March 2026
Hey all, Sam here. My monthly TBRs will usually include NetGalley ARCs for that month, but there are many books that I'm excited about reading that I am not approved for via NetGalley. Now some of these books I may get approved for closer to their release dates, especially since some of them aren't even… Continue reading Some of My 2026 Anticipated Releases
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. Wow. Honestly I can't believe that we're already here to talk about October releases already. This year has absolutely been flying by, but there are times where it legitimately feels like everything has been crawling by at the slowest pace possible...and I truly think that is because so much absolute insanity… Continue reading What I’m Looking Forward to Reading (Hopefully) in October
Hey all, Sam here. Honestly, August feels like a slower month for book releases, but it's also my birthday month, so I'm just always excited for it to come around again. Reaching my birthday each year makes me daydream about all the books I might get to read over the next year of my life....while… Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward to in August
Hey all, Sam here. Today's review is definitely proof that sometimes I am really bad at getting my reviews written and posted in a timely manner. This was...I believe...the second book I completed in 2025 (as in I marked it as finished on January 5th). And yet, here we are, almost at the end of… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Starlight Heir by Amalie Howard
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. 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. Most of the time when I am approved for a book on NetGalley, it's going to end up as a read I enjoy, and a majority of the time the rating is 3 stars or better. One could make the statement that my reviews aren't as good or are biased because… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Last Raven by Helen Glynn Jones
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
