Happy Sunday, peeps! I’ve not long wrapped up streaming for today so I’m pretty low energy. Why not run through the best of what I have read this year so far? If I’m not reviewing, I gotta share those thoughts somehow! Will include quotes from my Goodreads reviews. 5 – Kagen the Damned by Jonathan Maberry I’ve wanted to read Kagen the Damned since adding it to my upcoming releases post, back when I did those.1 The cover is gorgeous…

Oh hello there! It has been a while. I’ve not had the spoons to write much at all these past few months and so to preserve what little energy I have, I let myself leave the blog ticking along. However, I’m having a bit of a reading renaissance this year, it seems, and I’m just so excited about so many books I thought it would be nice to share some of that excitement.

I think for this first day of Blaugust I want to talk a little about how I’m spending my time these days. I would be remiss if I didn’t start with why I have so much time to spend, so I’ll just explain where I am health-wise first. The Spoon Question Very often I’ll mention “not having enough spoons” for an activity and be asked what that means. Other people have explained this better than I can. But in essence,…
Happy September, everybody! Time to take a look at some of the most interesting science fiction, horror, and fantasy book releases in September 2022. I must admit, it’s been a slow reading month for me. I’ve been trying to prepare for a new Dungeons & Dragons campaign that needs a lot of reading and research so naturally, I started watching Lucifer instead. It’s certainly slowed me down, but that hasn’t stopped me from checking what’s out there and heck if…

I’m typing this post out as the UK is under a huge heatwave and currently I don’t trust August to be great on that front, but at least we’ve got books for company while we all melt… right? Let’s dive into the most interesting of the science fiction, horror, and fantasy book releases of August 2022. So with August we’re starting to enter the holiday period. Yes, yes, I know, Christmas is months away, but August/September is…
I’ve been suffering with some indigestion/heartburn nonsense the past few nights and one night while being kept up by it, I found myself thinking how cool it would be to run the 5e official adventure modules in order to experience the Forgotten Realms stories in the most fun way possible. I laughed myself off and the next evening the thought returned. Gulp. See, I already run one homebrew campaign on Tuesdays and play in another on Mondays, and they’re both…
