Oi Bookworms! I am always up for a coming of age novel set in the 1990s with a dollop of rock-n-roll. Seriously, who wouldn’t be? That’s the good stuff, right there, which is why I was rather gleeful when I snagged How to Build a Girl by Caitlin Moran on sale. (Kindle Daily Deals are my… Read more »

This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper
Hi Ho, Bookworms! Everyone’s family has a little bit of drama and/or weirdness going on. I mean, it wouldn’t be family if there weren’t some sort of dysfunction going on somewhere.

The only think I love more than this book genre is cake! (I really like… Read more »
Headhunters on my Doorstep by J Maarten Troost
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! It probably won’t come as a huge surprise to any of you, but I’m a bit of a homebody. I like the idea of travel, but I seem to have been born with zero wanderlust. That said, I really like to travel vicariously though books. All the glamour, none of the bedbugs. When… Read more »
1,000 Feelings For Which There Are No Names

When I was approached by the publisher about this book, I… Read more »
