Three years ago today, I got married. Jim’s a good egg, so I’m still pretty glad that we’re official and all. I knew I wanted to commemorate our anniversary on the blog, because it’s my blog and I just can’t read books THAT FAST, okay? Okay. So technically the three year anniversary gift is leather….

Top Ten Tuesday: With A Twist
Hi there, Bookworms! It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday with The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is books that we’re thankful for. However… That’s a little “done.” I mean, my facebook feed has been blowing up with thankful posts this month. So. I’ve decided to talk about books that make me think… Read more »
Confession Friday: I Talk in My Sleep
Happy Friday, Bookworms! It’s time for confessions! It’s no secret that I love to sleep. I’m convinced that I’m part bear and ought to hibernate through the winter. It doesn’t help that I mysteriously grow this pelt every year… Sleep for me is an adventure. I have anxiety dreams practically every night. Sometimes I’m back… Read more »
Confession Friday: I'm a Kitchen Klutz
I’m a terrible cook. Okay, that’s not entirely true, but it sure as heck does not come naturally to me. I’m two left feet and all thumbs in the kitchen. The minute I try to stray from a recipe or improvise a little, everything goes to pot. And sometimes the pot goes into the trash… Read more »
I'm A Sensitive Soul, Though I Seem Thick Skinnnnnned…
Happy Thursday, Bookworms! I was having a hard time deciding on what to write today, so I’m straying a bit from books. The other day was rough for me. Like the great Pumbaa in The Lion King, “I’m a sensitive soul, though I seem thick skinned.” I got my feelings hurt, so I was down in… Read more »
Friday Fall Fun Swap
Happy Friday, Bookworms! A few weeks back, Joules at Pocketful of Joules had a most delightful idea. She thought, “Christmas is ever so far away, let us bloggers give each other gifts because it is fun!” And thus, the Fall Fun Swap was born. (Joules is secretly the Queen. Shhh, don’t tell.) Her Majesty Joules… Read more »
I’m FIFTY! FIFTY Posts Old!
Hiya Bookworms! Today marks my 50th post on Words for Worms (applause.) I’m not a licensed Joy-ologist, but, um YAY! Right?! This post is going to take a look back, because I want to celebrate and I can’t think of an appropriate book for my 50th post. 10 Things I’ve Learned Since Starting This Blog:… Read more »
Ermagerhd! Awerds!
G’day Bookworms! I mentioned yesterday that I was nominated for THREE blog awards while I was on vacation. Super super exciting! These awards are designed to share the blog love and give deserving bloggers some exposure, so I’m beyond flattered and will devote today’s post to the award assignments. Pocketful of Joules and Quirky Chrissy… Read more »
Confession Friday: I Have a Penguin Problem
I have a penguin problem. When I was in the 3rd grade, I made a penguin habitat out of a shoebox and a white mold-a-rama penguin from the Brookfield Zoo. Ever since then I’ve been a crazy penguin lady. Penguin jewelry, penguin trinkets, penguin teapots, an entire drawer full of penguin pajamas… It should come… Read more »
I'm A Spy. Shhhhh… Don't Tell.
Hello Bookworms! I am going to be out of the blogosphere for the next week and a half or so. I’m going to be super busy doing things I cannot tell you about. Yet. (Please feel free to assume that I’m a spy and that I’m saving the world and such.) BUT! I wanted to… Read more »
