Hey all, Sam here. Gosh, this year is kind of flying by, which feels strange considering what a wild ride 2025 has been so far. But here we are, approaching a new month, and that means I'm looking ahead at a whole new slew of book releases. June is another pretty great month for releases,… Continue reading Getting Excited for the Books of June
Hey all, Sam here. I am absolutely terrible at TBRs...at least the past handful of years. I used to be really good at sticking to them and reading a lot of books each month. It led to me reading a couple hundred books each year. This was back in 2019 and 2020, but then I… Continue reading May Books I’m Looking Forward To
Hey all, Sam here. I have not been great at sticking to a TBR lately. My reading time and my reading mood have been difficult to schedule and predict the past...oh, six months or so. And yet, part of me keeps trying to plan out what I want to read in any given month or… Continue reading What Books Am I Looking Forward to in April?
Hey all, Sam here. I try to do this post twice a year, each time covering a six-month chunk of time, but a lot of books come out in that span of time and while I anticipate a whole bunch of books each year, the reality is that I don't come close to reading all… Continue reading Most Anticipated Releases (Jan-June 2025)
Hey all, Sam here. It's the 25th of December, so why not have a post today? Merry Christmas to those who celebrate today, and a Happy Holidays in general because there are so many different holidays at this time of year. I've seen a lot of posts across social media talking about the 25 books… Continue reading 25 in 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, I had a book blog friend who hosted a reading challenge at the end of the year called Diverse December...and while I read diversely year-round, it is nice to also have months where I focus on and highlight those diverse reads and diverse authors just a little more… Continue reading Diverse December Plans
Hey all, Sam here. I want to start getting my overdue book reviews up on the page, and I will (hopefully sooner than later), but things in the US are....well, not good, honestly. So I'm trying to be gentle to myself when it comes to forced productivity. Anyway, on Wednesday, my husband took me on… Continue reading Recent Book Haul
Hey all, Sam here. As we near the end of the year, I have a whole lot still on my to-do list. One of the big things is trying to focus a bit more on writing my book (and I'll talk more about that tomorrow). So, when it comes to reading...yes, I do still have… Continue reading Novellavember TBR
Hey all, Sam here. As I said in yesterday's post, I definitely decided against making a TBR for October since we're already nearly halfway into the month...and since I'm going to be focusing on writing my book in November, I probably won't do a TBR for next month either. However...there are a bunch of books… Continue reading Books I’d Like to Read This Fall
Hey all, Sam here. I'm still reading books, but not nearly as much as I normally would in a month. It's absolutely frustrating for me, because I want to read, but the times where I want to read I keep getting interrupted (because that's how it goes at work most days) or something comes up… Continue reading September TBR
