Hey there Bookworms! I was totally going to stick with my weekly updates, but I thought I’d make things easier on myself and jot down some notes before writing up the wrap-up post… And then a whole book review came out? So yeah. Apparently this is a thing I’m doing again, I guess. Please enjoy… Read more »

Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella
Greetings Bookworms, I’ve been a little nervous about attending BEA (which is starting tomorrow, OMG!) I often find that the best way to calm my nerves is escapist reading. A book will cure anything that ails you! Except for things that ought to be cured by antibiotics. And, um… Yeah I’m not sure where I was going… Read more »
The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald
Good Day, Bookworms. It’s no secret that I’ve got something of a soft spot for books about books. Or books about readers. Or books about book clubs. What can I say? I can relate to the characters so easily if they like to spend their time with their noses in a book, you know? Of… Read more »
The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella
Happy Thursday, Bookworms! I’ve been reading, as per usual, and there is just something delicious about Sophie Kinsella. I resisted her charms for far too long and I really had no reason to do so. When I finally broke down and read I’ve Got Your Number (review) I was a goner. My Mother-in-Law actually recommended… Read more »
The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg
Howdy Bookworms! I’ve been reading a lot of spooky novels to get me in the mood for Halloween (I’ll tell you all about it, of course, in due time.) Because I’ve been so deep in the dark and broody I decided to lighten things up a bit by picking up The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last… Read more »
The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert
Bon Appetit, Bookworms! The fact that I basically want to eat everything I read about is well documented, but it’s rare that I decide to read a book based solely on its delicious-sounding title. I had a case of the mid-afternoon snack attack when I was browsing NetGalley one day when I ran across The… Read more »
I’ve Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella
Hello Bookworms! Sometimes I need a break from heavy reading… Or heavy-ish reading. Aw hell. Let’s be real. Sometimes I want to read a fluffy romantic comedy JUST BECAUSE. In case you’ve ever wondered if I listen to y’all when you suggest books to me, I offer today’s discussion as proof. When I admitted I… Read more »
The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen
Hello Bookworms! Remember that time when I gushed all over the internet about Scribd? Well, the very first book I decided to listen to with my new subscription was a Sarah Addison Allen. Anybody surprised? You shouldn’t be. My ears devoured The Sugar Queen. Josie Cirrini’s life is in a holding pattern. Though she’s 27, she’s never… Read more »
Ruth Reichl’s Debut Novel is Delicious!
Bon Appetit, Bookworms! I’ve never considered myself a foodie, but I sure do like to eat. My aunt-in-law (is that a thing? It is now. Howdy, Barb!) recommended Delicious! to me recently and it it totally made me want to eat all the fancy cheese in the land. Because I’m not a foodie, I had… Read more »
The Look of Love by Sarah Jio (Or, How Pop Culture Ruined My Life)
Hello Bookworms! I think that pop culture may have ruined my life. I may have gone into Sarah Jio’s new novel, The Look of Love, tainted, simply because certain associations it aroused in my psyche…My word, I’m digressing before I’ve even started. *Before further tangents take wing, I should inform you that I received a… Read more »
