Hello Again Bookworms! We are still in the throes of Armchair BEA and one of today’s discussion topics is Character Chatter. I love, love, love fictional characters. I love them so much that I set them up on imaginary dates where they have imaginary conversations and are generally ridiculous. Today, though, I’m feeling combative. I’m… Read more »
Good Day, Bookworms! It’s still Armchair BEA time and today we’re talking about social media. I have FEELINGS on the subject. Firstly, I am BEYOND grateful that I grew up before Facebook because having a record of every stupid thing I did or said while I was busy being a tween/teen would be highly upsetting. I’ve made… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms! It’s time for my favorite virtual book nerd gathering that coincides with an actual convention since ever. Pull up your armchairs folks, it’s time for Armchair BEA. Book Expo America is going on in NYC and those of us stuck at home are going to party like it’s 1999. Crank up the Ricky Martin… Read more »
Holy Macaroni, Bookworms. I’m not sure how coherent this post is going to be, because I’m still trying to figure out how to get my jaw off the floor. I recently decided to put my Audible subscription on hold because Scribd is a better deal for my voracious audio book appetite at this time. However, before… Read more »
Hidey Ho, Bookworms. By some internet witchery, it seems I have become an expert resource on all essay questions regarding Lois Lowry’s The Giver Quartet as well as an opponent of book banning worthy of quotation. My search terms recently have included an awful lot of “what is the symbolism of XYZ in The Giver/Gathering… Read more »
Dearest Bookworms, Have you ever heard people claim they’d love to have Morgan Freeman narrate their lives? Morgan Freeman is a whole lot of wonderful, I’ll grant you (March of the Penguins, holla!) However. I’m convinced people find the decision to nominate Morgan Freeman as their life’s narrator such a simple one is because they’ve… Read more »
G’Day Bookworms! It’s Tuesday and it’s (sadly) been a while since I made you a glorious list o’ books. This week the folks of The Broke and the Bookish have left the blogosphere to our own devices and declared this week a free for all topic-wise. My head has been in the clouds lately, so… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms! Soooo, I just got back from vacation… Again. I KNOW we were just at Disney World in March, but shortly after we got back my parents called. They had a two bedroom condo booked in Orlando for May and offered to let us stay with them. I mean, how can you turn down free… Read more »
Hi Ho, Bookworms! It seems I’m perpetually out of blogging juice these days. I hope it’s a temporary condition. I’ve got all these ideas, just no time to get them out of my brain. In any case, I saw this bookish survey on Love, Laughter, and a Touch of Insanity a few weeks back and… Read more »
Hello Bookworms! Remember that time when I gushed all over the internet about Scribd? Well, the very first book I decided to listen to with my new subscription was a Sarah Addison Allen. Anybody surprised? You shouldn’t be. My ears devoured The Sugar Queen. Josie Cirrini’s life is in a holding pattern. Though she’s 27, she’s never… Read more »
