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 »

2021: Maybe This Year Will Be Better Than The Last
Happy New Year, Bookworms! Am I the only person who spends the week between Christmas and New Year’s with “Long December” by Counting Crows stuck in my head? I can practically smell 1996 when I hear it. “It’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the… 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 Forty Ninth
Greetings Bookworms, It’s still 2020. We’re still hunkered down, trying not to get sick as per usual. Sam is taking fewer and fewer naps which SUCKS, but he’s 3 and change now, so I suppose that’s to be expected. I just, you know, didn’t expect to still be stuck at home for almost an entire… Read more »

Hello Bookworms, We’re heading into Thanksgiving week and it’s looking like pretty much every other week since March for us.

I had originally planned to have Sammers dress up as Mike Wazowski- I even got myself a Sulley costume so we could be all matchy-matchy…. 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 »
