Hey all, Sam here. Wow, well we are already finished with another month, which is always an interesting experience. This year continues to somehow both drag so slowly while also speeding past. Like, how are we already in the fourth month of the year? But also, how has it ONLY been three full months so… Continue reading March Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. I started this blog back in January 2016, which means that this year is my 10th year of doing this, which feels incredibly wild to me. Without a doubt I can say that 2019 and 2020 were the best years of the blog, and the most prolific. I miss being able… Continue reading My Top Ten Posts (So Far)
Hey all, Sam here. Happy New Year! Well, at least I hope it is a happy new year. I definitely had to prep this post up in advance because this is the busiest time of the year for my job and I didn't know if I would have the time to get anything written if… Continue reading Goals for 2025
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. Today is Day Two of Gen Con, and it is a busy day of panels at the Writer's Symposium for me. Though I'm writing this up a few days early, I'm pretty sure I'm taking lots of notes at my panels, and so I might share some of my notes in… Continue reading Weekend Writer: August Writing Prompts
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. Well, I guess it's time to talk about what I'm getting up to at Gen Con this year...and the answer is a whole bunch of panels (mostly at the Gen Con Writers Symposium). For those who don't know, Gen Con is a tabletop game convention. This year it is taking place… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con 2024 Plans
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. Once again, we have reached the beginning of a new month, and that means it's time for new Weekend Writer prompts! Eagle-eyed followers will know that this post was supposed to be up yesterday (AKA the first Friday of the month). I blame myself for that; I didn't prepare in advance… Continue reading Weekend Writer: June 2024 Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. I am so far behind on all of my book reviewing, and my book writing....and just life in general it feels like. Perhaps I shouldn't be so hard on myself, but I look back at the history of this blog to when I actually was posting like 10-12 posts each week… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth
