Woah! It’s Monday! Ain’t that a kick in the teeth? It is for me, because I had last week off to staycation. It should come as no surprise that I spent many of my gloriously unencumbered hours devouring books. Oh yes. And visiting my nephew. He’s brand new and cuter than a son of a… Read more »

Awww, Sookie Sookie Now: Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris
Hello to my Bloodsucking Bookworms! Oh, that’s right. The REAL vampires are still “in the coffin.” I get it, I get it. I don’t blame you for keeping it to yourselves. Actually, I may have mentioned it before, but my very existence is proof to me that vampires are not real. I am DELECTABLE to… Read more »
The Best of Us, For the Rest of Us (Not to be confused with Festivus)

All You Need Is Love… And Warm Bodies (by Isaac Marion)
Braaaaaaaaains… I mean, Bookworms. Sorry about that, guys. I just finished reading Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion and I’m still recovering. It’s an uplifting zombie novel with heart (beating and otherwise…) It’s not often I get to use the word “uplifting” in conjunction with “zombie,” but Warm Bodies is a rare novel. We start off in an airport… Read more »
Get Swept Up In The River of No Return by Bee Ridgway
Salutations, Bookworms! I’ve been a book blogger for a while now, 8 months or so. I’m still not entirely sure what I’m doing, but I’m pretty sure I’m doing something RIGHT, because I recently got an email from a publisher offering me a free book! Now, this is not the first time I’ve been offered… Read more »
Eleanor & Park: It'll Take You Back Faster Than a Whiff of Unwashed Gym Suit.
Sup Bookworms?! I say “sup” because that was the thing to say when I was in high school. During high school, I absolutely refused to use the term on the grounds that contractions should use apostrophes. I also wrote song lyrics out on the backs of all the notes I passed between classes and pasted… Read more »

Complaints and Compliments on An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
Happy Friday, Bookworms! A few weeks back I wrote about how much I loved The Fault in Our Stars so I decided to pick up another John Green novel. I settled on An Abundance of Katherines for a couple of reasons. First, it was the only John Green book available from the library for my kindle. Second, I’m very… Read more »
