Happy New Year, Bookworms, It is now officially 2022. I started the year getting 3 consecutive nights of decent sleep, which, honestly, feels like about all I can hope for at the moment. Instead of me fretting to you about the dumpster fire that is the world at large, I’m going to try to keep… Read more »

2021, Week the Forty-Ninth: Chai, Cake, and Rich People Teacups
Howdy Bookworms! The holiday season is upon us and I am, predictably, frazzled. It is mostly pandemic related stress. I really really don’t want to spend Christmas alone again like we did last year, but Sam is still too young to be vaccinated. The current plan is to simply keep him out of daycare the… 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 Twenty-First: Give Me All Your Rom-Coms and Nobody Will Get Hurt
Hey There, Bookworms, Life is slowly but surely starting to get lively again. I’ve now got errands to run and things to coordinate and stuff to worry about. Who am I kidding? I worry about everything all the time pandemic notwithstanding. It’s basically the description of my Enneagram personality type. Anybody else a 6? We’re… Read more »
2021, Week the Eighteenth: In Which Katie Ignores Synopses- Twice
Howdy Bookworms, Since my kidlet has returned to school, I’ve had more opportunity to enjoy listening to audio books. It’s been a bit of a binge listening situation around here. I’m also still reading with my eyeballs, too, of course, but I really missed audio books. Sammers has been doing well at school, and despite… Read more »
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 Sixth: A Bit of a Mishmash
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 »
