Howdy Bookworms! Today I’m going to do a roundup of the books I’ve recently read that I’ve been a little too lazy to review individually. It’s a thing that happens sometimes, I trust you won’t mind terribly? I’m going to include a graphic of a cookie, so I’m assuming you’ll forgive me. It’s hard to… Read more »

It’s World Penguin Day! Let’s Celebrate!
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! It’s World Penguin Day. I KNOW! A day for the WHOLE WORLD to celebrate the greatest flightless bird in the history of the universe?! Obviously an excellent use of anyone’s time. To celebrate I’m going to let you check out these sweet animated gifs from chibird.com because they are my favorite things ever. That’s all… Read more »
Dietland by Sarai Walker
Greetings Bookworms, Wow. Am I ever behind on telling y’all about what I’m reading. 99 percent of the time when I’m running behind, it’s because I’m pretty lazy. This time, though, I really needed to sit on my thoughts for a while before I could put together a blog post. That’s mostly because reading Dietland by… Read more »

I’m simply having the worst time getting myself to write coherent thoughts. In the spirit of incoherence, though, it’s Wednesday. Time for Bookish (And Not So Bookish) Thoughts!… Read more »

Emma Thompson Reads Me Ghost Stories: The Turn of the Screw
Greetings Bookworms! How often do you get to say that a celebrity read you a bedtime story? You’d be able to say that a lot more often if you were down with audio books, believe you me. Of course, if you’d rather stay up all night being confused and creeped out than actually sleep, I’ve… Read more »
Lies and Other Acts of Love by Kristy Woodson Harvey
Greetings Bookworms! I am on an absolute roll with the water works this week, you guys. I cried while watching Inside Out (expected) AND Trainwreck (unexpected). Then I cried during two different books. Not that I don’t cry a lot, because I am totally a crier, but it’s a little unusual to have so many… Read more »
Bookish (And Not So Bookish) Thoughts: April 6, 2016
Happy Wednesday, Bookworms! It’s the middle of the week, and really, the only way we should be celebrating is with a bit of nonsense, don’t you agree? Thankfully, Christine at Bookishly Boisterous has created just the meme for my meandering thoughts. Let’s do this thing! ONE: I recently told a friend who was trying to… Read more »
The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson
Happy Monday, Bookworms! The things I like about Mondays are extremely limited, but they’re greatly improved when I get a chance to discuss historical fiction. Yay for books, saving all the days of the week from abject horribleness! Today we’re heading back to WWI England, or, perhaps more specifically, the summer before WWI. Hence the… Read more »
