Tell The Wolves I'm Home. No, Seriously. Tell Them.
Happy Monday, Bookworms! I don’t use the term “favorite” often when it comes to books, because it’s too difficult. All sorts of books have all sorts of great reasons to love them. However, Tell The Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt tugged at all the right heartstrings for me. Dare I say that this may… Read more »

Dome Along: We're Half Way There!
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! Remember how I said I’d joined a read along for Stephen King’s Under the Dome through Coffee and a Book Chick? I’m about half way through the book right now and I thought I’d give you a little synopsis of my feelings… So. There’s this town called Chester’s Mill. It’s in Maine… Read more »
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

The Trip of Several Lifetimes (I'm Guest Posting!!!)
Hey there, Bookworms! I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Katie doesn’t usually post on Wednesdays.” You’re correct. However. Kelly, who writes the CERTIFIED AWESOME BLOG, The Well-Read Redhead asked me to guest post for her while she’s on vacation. True to form, I came up with something completely ridiculous.

Summertime, and the Reading is Easy (Top Ten Tuesday)
Howdy Bookworms! In case you hadn’t noticed, it is summer! Well. It’s summer here in the northern hemisphere at least. Australia just blows my mind with the opposite seasons. And the awesome marsupials. (I want to visit you, Australia. I am not good at being a tourist, but I think I love you.) Aaaanyway. Today… Read more »

What's in Your HEEEEEAD? (Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates)
Hello Bookworms, Today we’re going dark. I’m talking pit-of-despair dark. I just finished reading Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates. I purchased it because I like Joyce Carol Oates, I like zombies, and I like Kindle books offered at sale prices. Much to my disappointment, this wasn’t about zombies in the traditional sense. Although, it had… Read more »
