Trick or Treat, Bookworms! I just thought that y’all might enjoy seeing the ridiculousness of my costume this year. I cannot help but crack up every time I look at the thing- hopefully it has the same effect on you. BEHOLD! Happy Halloween!

Bite Size Reviews: October 2016
Greetings Bookworms! In all my Halloweening, I nearly forgot that the holiday coincides with the end of the month, and I totally owe y’all some bite size reviews. As usual, I’ve been reading more than I’ve been blogging and I’m perpetually behind schedule. I say “schedule” like anybody but me cares. I am beholden to… Read more »
The Brazilian Husband by Rebecca Powell
Olá Bookworms! You know that thing where you do or say or think something only to realize later that it was a dumb thing to do or say or think? That’s basically my life, to be honest: I’m in a constant state of revision. But, among the dumb things I’ve done or said or thought… Read more »
Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler
Greetings Bookworms! I’ve been on an Octavia Butler kick lately.

I drove up to the Chicago Suburbs to attend a little BEA buddies reunion with three of my favorite ladies- Julie, Marisa, and Stacey. Since I live in the middle of Illinois (more or less) this shindig… Read more »
Once Upon a Fitbit
Howdy Bookworms! I realize I normally talk about books almost exclusively, but bear with me here. I have some thoughts a-percolating in the old gray matter and I need to get them out. I’m talking about my personal relationship with exercise. I don’t normally go OMG EXERCISE on the internet for a few reasons. Foremost… Read more »
Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love by Simran Sethi
Greetings Bookworms! I’ve discussed before that I’ve got a rather tenuous relationship with non fiction. Luckily, my relationship with bread, wine, and chocolate has always been top notch. Thus, when one of my neighbors chose Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love by Simran Sethi for book club, my curiosity was piqued…. Read more »
