What’s up, Bookworms? I only want to discuss children’s books right now, so that’s what I’m going to do. Perhaps one of these days I’ll finish one of the many half written blog posts on books I’ve read for my own enjoyment, but until that sounds like fun to me- kids’ books it is! As… Read more »
Hey-o Bookworms, I think nearly 10 years of writing book listicles has polluted my brain, because lately I’ve found myself theming Sam’s bedtime stories. We are super lucky to have people in our life who value reading as much as I do, so our home library is beginning to rival the actual library. I’ve written… Read more »
Ahoy, Bookworms! Today be “Talk Like a Pirate Day” and if there’s one thing I know about little scallywags, it’s that they love a good pirate story. Y’all, my Pirate is rusty as heck. Which is surprising since every one of Sam’s baths lately has involved a pirate ship. (Also a police boat that’s entirely… Read more »
Hello My Dear Bookworms, My reading has been going pretty slowly this week, so I figured I’d take this opportunity to highlight some of the books that I’ve been enjoying reading with Sam lately. We’re hopefully coming to the end of the seemingly endless working-from-home-with-a-small-child-to-avoid-COVID thing. The grown ups in this family are well on their way… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms, It’s February now, and we’re quickly approaching the 1 year mark of our lives’ upheaval due to COVID. It’s so strange. In some ways time feels frozen. In others, it’s just kept marching on. Samuel, for one, has insisted on growing and changing this year as he progressed from 2.5 to 3.5. I… Read more »
Season’s Greetings, Bookworms! We spent Thanksgiving at home, just the three of us. I mean, it’s not the holiday we’d have liked to have, but on the upside, we were able to put up our Christmas decorations in a leisurely fashion. Plus we had a bunch of leftovers. I bought more Redi-Whip than anyone could… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms, I only finished one book this week (The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon- it’s super cute!) so I thought instead of a normal weekly update I’d talk about that book in next week’s roundup and focus on some of Sammy’s current favorites this week. Harriet Gets Carried Away by Jessie Sima- My… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms, I can’t tell you how much it thrills me that Sammers enjoys reading stories with me. I mean, sure, I’ve been reading to him at least nightly since infancy, but he’s reached an age where he can actively choose the books we read and interacts with the stories. It’s so stinking cute. If… Read more »
Hiya Bookworms, This pandemic is wild. It’s so awful on so many levels, and even though we’re faring better than I might have expected in our household, I still have the occasional breakdown. I mean, I’m human. I also have a strong-willed toddler. It’s all A LOT. But I’m trying really hard to document the… Read more »
Hey Bookworms, Life comes at you fast, huh? Two weeks ago coronavirus was scary, but not panic inducing. Today it’s changed just about everything. I used to LOVE reading fictional accounts of plagues and pandemics. Now? Not so much. Two weeks ago I started writing a listicle of some of the great plague books I’d… Read more »
