Hiiiiii Bookworms, I finished reading some books this week! Yay me! This week we decided to take a quick weeknight trip to a local apple orchard/pumpkin patch. We didn’t go to the super popular one because crowds. And, actually, crowd avoidance was why we went on a Monday night. We may be the last people… Read more »

Kid Lit with my Kidlet: 3rd Birthday Haul Favorites
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! You’ll probably recall that the tiny human I grew turned 3 about a month ago. Having him out of daycare for the last 6 months while we attempt to work from home has been an ADVENTURE. And, while we had to celebrate the boy’s birthday in shifts so he could see a… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap Up: The Thirty-Seventh
Oh Hey Bookworms, Looks like I missed last week. IN MY DEFENSE, Labor Day threw a whole wrench into my mojo and it was rainy and gray ALL WEEK. I was in full survival mode. Plus, we all got our flu shots. Surely that has earned me some grace from the universe at large. Anyway,… Read more »

What Is Time, Even? (Ruminations on my Son’s Third Birthday)
Greetings Bookworms! Guess how many books I read last week. No really, guess. ZERO! That’s right folks, it was a slow reading week. We had a couple of no-nap days AND the good sir turned 3. As a result, my reading was limited. I still read, of course, but I didn’t finish anything. Still plugging… Read more »

Howdy Bookworms, I took a little break from the regular updates last week because I wanted to publish a post boosting Black voices in Sci-Fi and Fantasy that I’ve been thinking about for months.

Boosting Black Voices: Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Greetings Bookworms, Remember a while back when I did a listicle promoting Black rom-coms? I’ve had this list of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy authors percolating in the back of my brain since then. Actually, I’ve had the skeleton of this post written since then, but you know, LIFE. I was spurred to finally get this… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Thirty-First
Greetings Bookworms, As I write this, I’m listening to my child steadfastly refuse to nap. I will probably be crying about it in like 10 minute, but until the tears fall, let’s talk about some books. I need the distraction. And maybe, just maybe, my child will talk himself to sleep. Heaven knows he needs… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Thirtieth
Howdy Bookworms, How’s that Pandemic life treating you? Fun new development- I’m now having COVID related anxiety dreams. Specifically, last night I dreamt I was going to someplace crowded (Disney maybe?) and I realized I didn’t have a mask on. Except NOBODY had masks on. I was aghast, and tried to put on my own… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Twenty Ninth
Howdy Bookworms, How is everyone holding up? We’ve had a rocky week with nap avoidance. Sammy is almost 3, a fact that I can barely wrap my head around. I revel in his daily naps, but I know that all good things end eventually… I just hope that he’s not giving up his nap forever… Read more »
