This blog post topic may come as no surprise. I love quotes almost as much as sarcastic characters, so when you combine the two? Poof, magic happens! Okay, so it’s not real magic. It’s all smoke in mirrors and waving hands and maybe a little glitter and confetti (which I staunchly refuse to clean up). […]
I’d ask you all how your 2020 TBRs are going, but this year has been … *whistles* … and I fear that question might be more aggressive than I intended to start this post. Let’s just assume, shall we, that we’re all more or less in similar boats. You know, one that is just big […]
It’s that time again. Are you readyyyyyy to ruuuuuumble?! I’m back with another Battle of the Book Covers, which is pretty much my favorite thing to do in general anyway. The gist is: go on Goodreads. Check out the alternative covers for certain books. Decide which country did it best. Winner gets bragging rights and, […]
Spoiler alert: younger me was a bit of a mess. I can hear you gasping. I know. Bit of a shock, isn’t it? But Sammie, I hear you cry, you seem to be so *together* so how could you ever have been a mess? Yeah … okay … I couldn’t get through that without laughing. […]

Because nothing screams “I love your work” more than shoving them into a dark, desolate world that they may not survive, right?! This is a labor of love, […]
You know, at some point, when you read as many books as I do, some of them are going to fall by the wayside. Not intentionally, of course, but since I have neither managed to clone myself nor summon a demon to aid me in my endeavors, I only have limited time, and reviews take […]
Before we get started, I assume everyone is familiar with the speed dating concept, right? Totally gonna admit I’ve never done it, because I met my husband when I was four … not that we knew it then, of course. Not like I was scoping him out and grooming him for marriage. No, I tormented […]
A fact of publishing is that sometimes certain books get hyped waaaay more than other books. Doesn’t mean the other books are worse. Doesn’t mean hyped books are better. Reading is subjective, and it really comes down to the Wizards of Marketing, who all gather in a secret location, brew something tasty (or possibly disastrous, […]
Part of being in a loving, caring, lasting relationship is viciously chucking books at your spouse’s head while screaming, “READ IT!” Wait … I’m doing this marriage thing correctly, yeah? I mean, no one’s told me I shouldn’t do that after I got married, so I just assumed I should carry on with business as […]
