Greetings Bookworms! I feel like I ought to preface this post by saying that nobody is paying me to write it. Not one red cent. They should be, honestly, because I’m about to go all fangirl, but I’m getting no dough. I’m probably not doing blogging right. Whatever. You know how much I love audio… Read more »

The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson
Good Day Bookworms, It’s always a good day when you’ve got an audio book to hand, I think. I don’t typically read/listen to a whole lot of YA literature, but several years ago I read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and it was intense and amazing and fabulous. When I saw that another of her… Read more »

Salutations Darling Bookworms! I love learning new things. I think that’s sort of a bookworm thing, no? Unfortunately, a lot of times I struggle with reading non fiction (with the exception of memoirs.) Thank heaven that audio books exist! I recently downloaded Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff from my local library and holy cats!… Read more »
How to Be an American Housewife (And Other Upsetting Historical Things.)
Konnichiwa Bookworms! Today you get a Japanese greeting because the main character in today’s book hails from Japan. I’m terribly appropriate, I know. A couple of years ago I read a book called The Care and Handling of Roses With Thorns (review) that knocked the socks right off my feet and halfway around the room. I… Read more »

Packing for Mars by Mary Roach is Out of This World!
Bookworms, We Have a Problem. I’m LYING. I’m just trying to make space jokes because I just finished listening to the awesome audio book version of Packing for Mars by Mary Roach. I don’t read a lot of non fiction, but now that I’ve discovered Mary Roach, that may all change. Packing for Mars is ostensibly… Read more »

Time to visit Mansfield Park! Since I had such a stellar experience with the audio version of Northanger Abbey (review) I decided… Read more »
