Howdy Bookworms, I started compiling this post last week, but since I published a post of Kid Lit last week, I figured I’d save these discussions for later. Plus, I’m moving rather slowly through my current read and would have had no books to tell you about had I not procrastinated. Because I do almost… Read more »

2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Forty-Fourth
Hello Bookworms, I’m playing a bit of catch-up telling you about books because I have been on fire with the reading lately. Whew. Too much stress means so much book bingeing. Let’s just get right to it. American Royals by Katharine McGee- I know, I know, it seems a bit MUCH to be reading about… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Forty-First
Greetings Bookworms! This week I’ve been working on Sammy’s Halloween costume. Not that we’re going Trick-or-Treating in the traditional sense, but that’s no excuse not to have a fun costume. I had originally planned to have Sammers dress up as Mike Wazowski- I even got myself a Sulley costume so we could be all matchy-matchy…. Read more »
The Heir Affair by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
Greetings Bookworms, The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan was one of my favorite reads of 2016 (it was published in 2015 but I was late to the party, as per usual.) It was, more or less, Prince William and Kate Middleton fan fiction. I mean, YES, it was DIFFERENT in a lot… Read more »
Weekly Wrap-Up 2020: The Nineteenth
Greetings Bookworms, Yet another week of staying home has passed by. I think I’ve adjusted to the point where this situation feelsĀ almostĀ normal, but that means my brain keeps thinking about normal things. Like, it’ll pop into my head that I should run to the store to pick something up. But running to the store isn’t… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Seventeeth
How Now, Bookworms? Here in Illinois, our stay-at-home order has been extended through the end of May… At least. The upside is that greenhouses and nurseries are going to be allowed to open, which means FLOWERS! One of my book club friends runs a seasonal flower/garden center with her Mom and I’m super stoked to… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Fifteenth
Hey Bookworms, How’s everyone holding up? Getting rest? Drinking water? Keeping the existential dread to a minimum? Good, good. This quarantine feels simultaneously like it’s just begun and also like it’s lasted forever. What is time, even? Somehow, despite toddler wrangling and trying to get my full time job done AND getting Easter things done,… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Fourteenth
How you holding up, Bookworms? As we head into our fourth week of working from home, I’ve noticed some things. First, Sam has averaged one day per week where he does not take a nap. Second, I have averaged one day per week where I have a crying jag simply because it’s all too much…. Read more »
The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa
Greetings Bookworms, I just finished the most delightful Rom-Com. As I started writing little notes to myself for my weekly wrap-up, it quickly became clear that I had a lot to say about The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa. Hence, it shall have its own post. You deserve it, you sweet little book, you…. Read more »
How to Hack a Heartbreak by Kristin Rockaway
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 »
