Hiya Bookworms. Last week was… Something. Inspired by the second book in this post, I’m likening it to a ride on the Scrambler. You know. That carnival ride that tests the mettle of even non-motion-sickness-prone people? I feel like I’ve been standing in line for four years shouting “we really shouldn’t go on this ride,… Read more »
Well, Bookworms,We made it. And if that’s the only thing we accomplished this year? Honestly it’s pretty impressive. This year has been… I mean. Is there a soul on the planet who is not in need of some level of therapy to deal with the trauma that was 2020? I’m not here to ruminate on… Read more »
I’ve got a lot of problems with you people… Just kidding. Happy Festivus, Bookworms. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. This is the first year we’ll be spending by ourselves as a family of three. I’m excited to see Sam get excited over Santa’s visit as this year is the first year he truly “gets” it, but… Read more »
Hi Hi Hi Bookworms, It has been FIFTY WEEKS? Of 2020? Look at me, being awesome at New Year’s Resolutions. And look at 2020 being objectively terrible. Nobody likes a pandemic, you accursed year! That said, if I look really closely, and like squint? I can see a few upsides to this dumpster fire. One… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms! Raise your hand if you’re a vibrating ball of anxiety. WHEW. COVID has ramped up to eleven (which I hesitate to say because, let’s face it, it’s probably only going to get worse) and I am just like “I’ve been stuck in my house with a toddler for 8 months already what’s 4… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms,I’ve been reading a lot of Beverly Jenkins lately. My favorite thing about reading is learning… stuff. I’m not talking about when you read a non-fiction book dedicated to a particular subject. My absolute favorite book learning is picking up seemingly random tidbits in unexpected places. For example: I’ve read a surprising number of… Read more »
Hello Bookworms, I’m playing a bit of catch-up telling you about books because I have been on fire with the reading lately. Whew. Too much stress means so much book bingeing. Let’s just get right to it. American Royals by Katharine McGee- I know, I know, it seems a bit MUCH to be reading about… Read more »
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! I’m writing this intro as my kid naps. He actually refused his nap at the appointed time, only to crash on the couch next to me a couple hours later. Whatever, I’m letting him sleep. Pandemic rules: there are no rules. (Am I laughing or crying? I can’t tell.) It takes me… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms, I rarely ask for advanced copies of books anymore, but I couldn’t resist when I saw a new Rebekah Weatherspoon on Netgalley. If the Boot Fits is the second installment of the Cowboys of California series. You’ll recall when I read A Cowboy to Remember, surely? If not, check it out HERE. A… Read more »
Greetings, Bookworms! I don’t know about you, but I’m completely exhausted by current events. My energy is sapped. My blood pressure goes bonkers when I see science denial and arguing with people on the internet gives me hives. For my own mental health, I’ve liberally (get it? Because I’m liberal? Come for the books, stay… Read more »
