Salutations, Bookworms! I’ve been a book blogger for a while now, 8 months or so. I’m still not entirely sure what I’m doing, but I’m pretty sure I’m doing something RIGHT, because I recently got an email from a publisher offering me a free book! Now, this is not the first time I’ve been offered… Read more »

Stuff & Nonsense: A Shopping List For The Bookish
Happy Friday Wormy Worms! The internet is chock full of cool stuff you can buy. Sure, a lot of it is ridiculous and/or prohibitively expensive, but it’s fun to look at. Sooooo… Let’s go shopping for bookish nonsense! Yowza. That handsome devil on the throw pillow is Lewis Carroll. How much fun would this be… Read more »
What The Frodo?! (In Which Katie Begins The Lord of the Rings)
Vedui’ Parma Loki! Oh yeah. That just happened. I just greeted y’all in ELVISH. Thanks to some random internet English to Elvish translator, I was able to come up with “Greetings Book Snakes!” (Worms was not listed in the translator. I improvised.) I have a feeling if, say, Legolas, were out there reading my blog,… Read more »

The Curious Incident of the Suburban Baby Shower
Hello My Bookworms, I’ve had a busy weekend! I took a road trip back to my old stomping grounds to help my mom throw a baby shower for my sister. Now, I have a number of honorary nieces and nephews, and I love them all dearly. However, this will be my first go at biological… Read more »
Bookish Boombox: A Mix Tape Masterpiece
Are you ready to ROCK, Bookworms? The thing about writing a book blog is that if you have a slow reading week, you start running out of material. When I was composing yesterday’s Eleanor & Park review, I spent a lot of time thinking about high school and the parts of it that didn’t suck…. Read more »
Eleanor & Park: It'll Take You Back Faster Than a Whiff of Unwashed Gym Suit.
Sup Bookworms?! I say “sup” because that was the thing to say when I was in high school. During high school, I absolutely refused to use the term on the grounds that contractions should use apostrophes. I also wrote song lyrics out on the backs of all the notes I passed between classes and pasted… Read more »
I've Got a Crush on You! And you, and you, and you, too!
Hey There Bookworms, Before I get into today’s Top Ten Tuesday list, I want to take a moment to give a shout-out to the Hubs. That’s right, today Jim turns 31. Happy Birthday! The thing that makes this birthday extra super special is that it is ALSO the anniversary of our first date. The TENTH… Read more »
Sorry, No Blog Today. April Fools! (The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani)
Howdy Bookworms, I hope those of you who celebrate Easter have recovered from your chocolate bunny and jelly bean comas on this fine morning. It’s April Fool’s Day, but I’m not a fan of the holiday. I am a terrible liar, and I’m also embarrassingly gullible. Not a good combination. Plus, pranks have a way… Read more »
