Greetings Bookworms! This week I celebrated my second birthday under quarantine. I was told that I don’t have to count birthdays during the lost year, so I’m happy to report that I remain 36 years old. Just kidding. I’m 38 and it’s FINE. Really. I don’t know why I continuously have anxiety about aging because… Read more »

2021, Week the Eleventh: Jolly Madcap Rom-Coms with a Side of Faeries
Hello There, Bookworms, Ah, another week into 2021. Still pretty much the same old story around our house, but I’m optimistic that things will change soon. I mean, they have to, right? Because my “two weeks” of working from home with a toddler has been a OVER A YEAR. Vaccines are finally becoming less scarce,… Read more »
2021: Week the Tenth, Aural Adoration
Howdy Bookworms, Exciting week! I finished an audio book I’ve been working on for a while AND got through a second audio book! Sam and I have reached an agreement on the nap front. IE: I no longer expect that he’ll nap as a matter of course. We’ve compromised on his having “quiet time” in… Read more »

Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Bookworms! I hope you’re all warm and safe and healthy. I don’t know that I have a ton of readers at the moment, but if any of you are reading this from Texas, I sure hope things have improved for you. What a nightmare! I’m just here in the… Read more »
2021, Week The Sixth: A Bit of a Mishmash
Howdy Bookworms, I started compiling this post last week, but since I published a post of Kid Lit last week, I figured I’d save these discussions for later. Plus, I’m moving rather slowly through my current read and would have had no books to tell you about had I not procrastinated. Because I do almost… Read more »
2021, Week The Fourth: Whirlwind Romances For the Win
Howdy Bookworms, Am I the only one among us who googles the progress on COVID vaccinations on the daily? Sigh. I’m so glad vaccines exist and that they work, but I have never been so impatient to get a shot in my whole ding dang life. I might have been this impatient to get pain killers when… Read more »
2021 Week The Third: A Magical Mystery Tour
Greetings Bookworms! Today feels so good. The sun is shining, it’s one of those sneaky January days when 46 degrees feels like summer, and politics are boring again. What a wonderful world.

2021, Week The Second: A Wild Ride on the Scrambler
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 »
The FINAL Week of 2020
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 »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Fifty-First
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.
