2021, Week the Forty-First: Try a Little Tenderness
My Darling Bookworms, Sorry I ghosted on you last week. The week got away from me, as weeks tend to do. Slippery little suckers.

2021, Week the Thirty-Ninth: It’s Getting Hot In Here
Dearest Bookworms, Perhaps if you were not in college and attending house parties in the early aughts, this post title didn’t immediately bring to mind large sweaty gatherings full of cheap beer and questionable decisions.

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang
Greetings Bookworms, I’m really glad that when I requested this book from NetGalley, it came with something of a disclaimer.
