Greetings Bookworms, It’s still 2020. We’re still hunkered down, trying not to get sick as per usual. Sam is taking fewer and fewer naps which SUCKS, but he’s 3 and change now, so I suppose that’s to be expected. I just, you know, didn’t expect to still be stuck at home for almost an entire… Read more »

Kid Lit with My Kidlet: Christmas 2020 Edition
Season’s Greetings, Bookworms! We spent Thanksgiving at home, just the three of us. I mean, it’s not the holiday we’d have liked to have, but on the upside, we were able to put up our Christmas decorations in a leisurely fashion. Plus we had a bunch of leftovers. I bought more Redi-Whip than anyone could… Read more »
Weekly Wrap-Up: The Forty Seventh
Hello Bookworms, We’re heading into Thanksgiving week and it’s looking like pretty much every other week since March for us. We decided to scuttle our plans to have Thanksgiving dinner with my parents because COVID is raging right now in our state. Like, I know that vaccines are coming and there’s a light at the… Read more »
Weekly Wrap-Up: The Forty-Sixth
Greetings Bookworms! Raise your hand if you’re a vibrating ball of anxiety. WHEW. COVID has ramped up to eleven (which I hesitate to say because, let’s face it, it’s probably only going to get worse) and I am just like “I’ve been stuck in my house with a toddler for 8 months already what’s 4… Read more »
The Old West Series by Beverly Jenkins
Howdy Bookworms,I’ve been reading a lot of Beverly Jenkins lately. My favorite thing about reading is learning… stuff. I’m not talking about when you read a non-fiction book dedicated to a particular subject. My absolute favorite book learning is picking up seemingly random tidbits in unexpected places. For example: I’ve read a surprising number of… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Forty-Fourth
Hello Bookworms, I’m playing a bit of catch-up telling you about books because I have been on fire with the reading lately. Whew. Too much stress means so much book bingeing. Let’s just get right to it. American Royals by Katharine McGee- I know, I know, it seems a bit MUCH to be reading about… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Forty-Third
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! I’m writing this intro as my kid naps. He actually refused his nap at the appointed time, only to crash on the couch next to me a couple hours later. Whatever, I’m letting him sleep. Pandemic rules: there are no rules. (Am I laughing or crying? I can’t tell.) It takes me… Read more »
If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Howdy Bookworms, I rarely ask for advanced copies of books anymore, but I couldn’t resist when I saw a new Rebekah Weatherspoon on Netgalley. If the Boot Fits is the second installment of the Cowboys of California series. You’ll recall when I read A Cowboy to Remember, surely? If not, check it out HERE. A… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Forty-First
Greetings Bookworms! This week I’ve been working on Sammy’s Halloween costume. Not that we’re going Trick-or-Treating in the traditional sense, but that’s no excuse not to have a fun costume. I had originally planned to have Sammers dress up as Mike Wazowski- I even got myself a Sulley costume so we could be all matchy-matchy…. Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Fortieth
Greetings, Bookworms! I don’t know about you, but I’m completely exhausted by current events. My energy is sapped. My blood pressure goes bonkers when I see science denial and arguing with people on the internet gives me hives. For my own mental health, I’ve liberally (get it? Because I’m liberal? Come for the books, stay… Read more »
