I’m a jumble of confused emotion about this one, so I’m going to try and untangle my feelings and re-ravel my psyche. Ready? This book has a whole lot… Read more »

Between You and Me… Was Not My Favorite.
Hey Bookworms, It’s Monday, and that stinks. Weekends > Weekdays. That’s just math right there. We’re not here to talk about math, though. We are here to talk about BOOKS! I recently finished reading Between You and Me by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. This was the duo that brought us The Nanny Diaries, which I enjoyed, so I… Read more »

Hey! I've Read That! (A Confession Friday Game)

Tell The Wolves I'm Home. No, Seriously. Tell Them.
Happy Monday, Bookworms! I don’t use the term “favorite” often when it comes to books, because it’s too difficult. All sorts of books have all sorts of great reasons to love them. However, Tell The Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt tugged at all the right heartstrings for me. Dare I say that this may… Read more »
Dome Along: We're Half Way There!
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! Remember how I said I’d joined a read along for Stephen King’s Under the Dome through Coffee and a Book Chick?

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
Good Day Bookworms! Have you ever paid attention to the stuff you do every day? I’m not talking about the chores or the errands or the work. I’m talking physical stuff. Walking. Climbing stairs.

Summertime, and the Reading is Easy (Top Ten Tuesday)
Howdy Bookworms! In case you hadn’t noticed, it is summer! Well. It’s summer here in the northern hemisphere at least. Australia just blows my mind with the opposite seasons. And the awesome marsupials. (I want to visit you, Australia. I am not good at being a tourist, but I think I love you.) Aaaanyway. Today… Read more »
