Happy Monday, Bookworms! I trust you all had excellent weekends. I know I did. ADVENTURE was in the air. I drove up to the Chicago Suburbs to attend a little BEA buddies reunion with three of my favorite ladies- Julie, Marisa, and Stacey.

Holy Smokes, Bookworms! I have been writing this blog for FOUR YEARS. Like, an entirely different Summer Olympics was happening when this all began.

I’ve made… Read more »
Hidey Ho, Bookworms. By some internet witchery, it seems I have become an expert resource on all essay questions regarding Lois Lowry’s The Giver Quartet as well as an opponent of book banning worthy of quotation. My search terms recently have included an awful lot of “what is the symbolism of XYZ in The Giver/Gathering… Read more »
Top O’ the Morning to You Bookworms! One of my favorite bloggers, Trish of Love, Laughter, and a Touch of Insanity, announced an event recently encouraging bloggers to document a day in their lives.
