Get a Wiggle on, Bookworms, It’s time for Jazz Age January! Leah at Books Speak Volumes is hosting this swell event. Today we’re going to celebrate this sockdollager with some great reading about the 1920s! My first pick for this event is The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty, and was it EVER the bee’s knees! The bulk… Read more »
Brrrrrrrr Bookworms, Is anybody else tired of winter yet? I sure as heck am, but luckily, I have some reading challenges going on to keep my mind off of things. I enjoy reading classics. They make me feel like I’m filling in gaps left by my education. Now that I’ve been blogging a while, though,… Read more »
Holy Moly, Bookworms! My friend Lauren from Filing Jointly demanded that I read North and South by John Jakes. She was all, “Katie, it’s like if The Pillars of the Earth was set during the Civil War.” And I was all, “Ooooooh, that sounds wonderful.” Technically, I finished this after midnight on New Year’s Eve, so… Read more »
Hey Bookworms, It’s a new year and therefore a great time to talk about our awesome book club! I think I’ve been doing everyone a disservice by listing the monthly book at the end of the previous book’s discussion, so now announcements will be getting their very own posts. I assure you this is not… Read more »

Let’s talk about plans, shall we? 1. I committed to read 100 books again this year in the Goodreads Challenge…. Read more »
Greetings, Bookworms! I’m not immune to peer pressure, but you already knew that. I kept seeing Adé by Rebecca Walker around the blogoshpere and I simply had to give it a try. I read one of Rebecca Walker’s non fiction books (Baby Love) way back before I started blogging, so I had to see what… Read more »
Dearest Bookworms, I am… somewhat less than graceful. I have come here today to confess that fact and offer you proof. Last Sunday, I wanted to go to the grocery store. Jim warned me that it was slippery, that there was a collision alert out for our area, but I am stubborn. Instead of staying… Read more »
Salutations Bookworms, Most of the time when I pick up a book, the author is a faceless figure to me. I’m rarely up to speed with the goings on of the literary community, and I pick up a lot of books by authors who are new to me. Half the time I don’t even know… Read more »
