Hiya Bookworms, I realize I missed a couple weeks, but since it’s a bonkers time at work and a bonkers time at home with the upcoming move, I’m just going to be a hot mess for a while. A hot mess who is ravenously devouring books as a coping mechanism because I am deeply uncomfortable… Read more »

2021, Week the Twenty Sixth: I Read a Bunch of Romance Novels About Blue Aliens and I’m Not Mad About It
Hey Bookworms, I have a bookternet friend, Sarah. She’s never steered me wrong when it comes to romances, it’s true, but when she started talking about a series called Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon I wasn’t sure that I wanted to go there. I don’t want to yuck anyone else’s yum, but I typically… Read more »
2021, Week the Twenty-Fifth: A Deal With the Devil
Hey Bookworms, There is absolutely no common thread in any of the books I’m talking about this week. I mean, it is the mishiest mashiest roundup. Some weeks are like that, though. And other weeks you binge read a bunch of romance novels featuring blue aliens… Oh wait. I’m telling you about those NEXT week…. Read more »
2021, Week the Nineteenth: It’s not Pride and Prejudice… But it’s Kind of Pride and Prejudice.
Hello Hello, Bookworms! Another week has gone by and we’re getting more and more re-integrated into life as it once was. Now that our extended family circles are fully vaccinated (minus the kids, of course, but they’ll all be vaccinated as soon as it’s approved) we’ve been making plans for visits and birthdays and summer… Read more »
2021, Week The Sixteenth: Normal? What’s Normal?
Hidey Ho, Bookworms,Sorry I flaked on you last week but it was a doozy. As of last Saturday I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (both shots plus 2 weeks.) So is my husband.

2021, Week the Fourteenth: I Feel Fine Enough, I Guess. Considering Everything’s a Mess.
Hidey Ho, Bookworms!I was trying to think of a subtitle for this week’s blog and all I could come up with were 20 year old Barenaked Ladies lyrics. Hi, I’m An Old. Anyway. I’m very very slowly meandering through a non-fiction book right now. It’s really good and interesting but I just cannot read non… Read more »
2021, Week the Twelfth: It’s FINE.
Greetings Bookworms! This week I celebrated my second birthday under quarantine. I was told that I don’t have to count birthdays during the lost year, so I’m happy to report that I remain 36 years old. Just kidding. I’m 38 and it’s FINE. Really. I don’t know why I continuously have anxiety about aging because… Read more »
2021: Week the Tenth, Aural Adoration
Howdy Bookworms, Exciting week! I finished an audio book I’ve been working on for a while AND got through a second audio book! Sam and I have reached an agreement on the nap front. IE: I no longer expect that he’ll nap as a matter of course. We’ve compromised on his having “quiet time” in… Read more »
2021, Week the Seventh: Winter. Bleh.
Greetings Bookworms, It’s been frigid here in the Midwest for a solid week. Not just cold, but like, “you’re definitely going to get frostbite” cold. Which is extremely frustrating when you’re cooped up in a too-small house with a toddler who hasn’t played with other children in nearly a year. Throughout the pandemic we’ve had… Read more »
The FINAL Week of 2020
Well, Bookworms,We made it. And if that’s the only thing we accomplished this year? Honestly it’s pretty impressive. This year has been… I mean. Is there a soul on the planet who is not in need of some level of therapy to deal with the trauma that was 2020? I’m not here to ruminate on… Read more »
