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?

2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Thirty-Ninth
Hiiiiii Bookworms, I finished reading some books this week! Yay me! This week we decided to take a quick weeknight trip to a local apple orchard/pumpkin patch. We didn’t go to the super popular one because crowds. And, actually, crowd avoidance was why we went on a Monday night. We may be the last people… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Thirty-Third
Howdy Bookworms, I took a little break from the regular updates last week because I wanted to publish a post boosting Black voices in Sci-Fi and Fantasy that I’ve been thinking about for months. Of course it took time to compile, so now I’ve got some catching up to do on the regular reading. Also,… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Thirty-First
Greetings Bookworms, As I write this, I’m listening to my child steadfastly refuse to nap. I will probably be crying about it in like 10 minute, but until the tears fall, let’s talk about some books. I need the distraction. And maybe, just maybe, my child will talk himself to sleep. Heaven knows he needs… Read more »

Howdy Bookworms, How’s that Pandemic life treating you? Fun new development- I’m now having COVID related anxiety dreams. Specifically, last night I dreamt I was going to someplace crowded (Disney maybe?) and I realized I didn’t have a mask on. Except NOBODY had masks on. I was aghast, and tried to put on my own… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Twenty Ninth
Howdy Bookworms, How is everyone holding up? We’ve had a rocky week with nap avoidance. Sammy is almost 3, a fact that I can barely wrap my head around. I revel in his daily naps, but I know that all good things end eventually… I just hope that he’s not giving up his nap forever… Read more »
Weekly Wrap-Up 2020: The Twenty Sixth
Hey Bookworms, It’s July now. Because time no longer means anything. On the upside, my child is contentedly watching some outer space educational cartoon set to a hip hop soundtrack. There are also robots. I’m not sure what’s going on, TBH, but it’s one of the better things we’ve stumbled across on YouTube. Anyway. I… Read more »
Weekly Wrap-Up 2020: The Twenty Fourth
Hey There Bookworms, How are things? This weekend, my best friend got married. She and her fiance had planned a big wedding, and then COVID-19 went and ruined it. The party has been rescheduled to next March, but the date they’d originally chosen held a lot of significance for them. They opted for a low… Read more »
Weekly Wrap-Up 2020: The Twenty-Third
Hey There Bookworms, I took a break from my regular updates last week because I wanted to highlight some awesome romantic comedies authored by Black women that feature Black people in the starring roles.

2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Twenty-First
Hiya Bookworms, This is the twenty first weekly update I’ve written this year so far. And, fun fact- my baby cousin turned 21 last week. I know that doesn’t seem super interesting, except that my whole life all my cousins on both sides of the family were relatively close age-wise. I was a teenager and… Read more »
