Happy Friday Bookworms! This is going to be a post of pure randomness because even though I’ve been reading and listening a-plenty, I’m not in the mood to write a proper book review. It’s fine though because this week has been nuts. I’ve been having tech issues with the blog (bleh) and I know absolutely… Read more »

Feeling PUN-chy
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! I’m quite certain I’ve mentioned this before, but in case you missed it, I became an aunt again about a month ago. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law welcomed the sweetest baby girl in the history of baby girls. (This is empirically proven, of course, I wouldn’t feed you biased data.) Since our little… Read more »
Excuses, Excuses: Top Ten Tuesday
Howdy Bookworms, It’s been a while since I’ve made a Top Ten List for the Broke and the Bookish. This week’s prompt is a freebie so I’m going to tell y’all a little about WHY I have been such a terrible blogger lately. I haven’t been keeping up with anyone else’s blog, I’ve barely been… Read more »
Questioning Katie: What Constitutes a Spoiler?
Howdy Bookworms! It’s time for some chit chat, Words for Worms style. I’ve been collecting questions from y’all over the last few weeks because I’m a big cheater face and I’m all about having you hit me with writing prompts. Thank heavens you beautiful bookworms are willing to keep giving me material! Today’s question comes… Read more »
Questioning Katie: What’s With the Penguins?
Howdy Howdy Bookworms! I’m braving another edition of Questioning Katie even though the internet thinks I’m bonkers. That’s right. The day the post in which I announced I’d be interviewing myself went live, Skype saw fit to show me ads for schizophrenia medication. I’m rather offended that the internet thinks I’m significantly more severely mentally ill than I… Read more »
Questioning Katie: What’s Your Patronus?
Greetings Bookworms! I’ve been feeling uninspired and unconnected lately. I don’t have good reasons as to why, I just do. It makes me think that I ought to change things up a little blog-wise, so I thought I’d take a page out of Reddit’s book. Only not really, because Reddit is easily the meanest corner… Read more »
Conversations With My Husband: White Walkers
Salutations Bookworms! I never can predict when Hubs is going to say something blog-worthy, but, well, this happened while we were watching Game of Thrones this week. You’re welcome. Jim: You know, I wouldn’t mind working for those White Walkers. Katie: You mean the ice monsters that control an army of the undead? Jim: Yeah. I mean,… Read more »
Flattered and Flummoxed: How I Became a Resource
Hidey Ho, Bookworms. By some internet witchery, it seems I have become an expert resource on all essay questions regarding Lois Lowry’s The Giver Quartet as well as an opponent of book banning worthy of quotation. My search terms recently have included an awful lot of “what is the symbolism of XYZ in The Giver/Gathering… Read more »
And We’re Back!
Howdy Bookworms! Soooo, I just got back from vacation… Again. I KNOW we were just at Disney World in March, but shortly after we got back my parents called. They had a two bedroom condo booked in Orlando for May and offered to let us stay with them. I mean, how can you turn down free… Read more »
Conversations With My Husband: Crankypants
Happy Friday Bookworms! Everybody has crappy days from time to time. What’s important is surrounding yourself with people who can (usually) snap you out of that mood. In case I needed a reminder as to why I married my husband, this conversation happened recently. Katie: I hate everything today. Please excuse me while I go… Read more »
