On Gold Mountain by Lisa See: A Lesson in Reading the Synopsis Before Purchase
Hey Bookworms, How is everyone doing today? I just finished slogging through Lisa See’s On Gold Mountain. It taught me a very important lesson. You should always read the synopsis of a book before you click purchase. This was on sale for the kindle so I snapped it up thinking, “Oh Lisa See! Always such great tidbits… Read more »
Confession Friday: I'm A Low Talker. Apparently.
Happy Friday, Bookworms! It’s been a while since my last confession, but I just can’t keep this one in any longer. According to the pharmacist at Wal-Mart (don’t judge me- I’m frugal!) I am a low-talker. Seinfeld did an episode on low-talkers, but I just saw Pitch Perfect and the only low-talker I shall ever… Read more »
Merry Christmas To All, And To All A Good Night
God Rest Ye Merry Bookworms, Let nothing you dismay. I’ll be back to writing for you After Christmas Day. My husband sits here being weird, And I think that’s okay. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and Joy. Ooooh-oh ti-idings of co-omfort and joy!
Don't They Know It's The End of the World?
Hi Bookworms! Today is “Doomsday.” People who have misinterpreted the Mayan calendar have decided that the world is supposed to end today. I’d really prefer the world not end. I have things planned for next week. Beyond that though, I’d do very very poorly in a post-apocalyptic world. I looooove dystopian novels, so I figured… Read more »
Lost in Translation
Hi there, Bookworms. I’ve had some thoughts rattling around the old brain cage for a while now, so I’m going to attempt to write them down. Once upon a time I had a blog commenter give me a hard time for flippantly dismissing the work of Hakuri Murakami. I tried and failed to keep myself… Read more »
A Christmas Miracle: The Most Glorious Tale of the Wrapping Paper
I like to buy wrapping paper on sale after Christmas. I’m rather particular about the paper, as I prefer penguin print (which comes as a surprise to exactly no one.) Last year I found myself wrought with the most frustrating of first world problems: wrapping paper storage. They make these lovely tubs to store wrapping… Read more »

The Third Anniversary is the Limerick Anniversary, Right?
Three years ago today, I got married. Jim’s a good egg, so I’m still pretty glad that we’re official and all. I knew I wanted to commemorate our anniversary on the blog, because it’s my blog and I just can’t read books THAT FAST, okay? Okay. So technically the three year anniversary gift is leather….

Top Ten Tuesday: With A Twist
Hi there, Bookworms! It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday with The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is books that we’re thankful for. However… That’s a little “done.” I mean, my facebook feed has been blowing up with thankful posts this month. So. I’ve decided to talk about books that make me think… Read more »
