Anna K by Jenny Lee: A Refreshing Revamp of Classic Literature
Darling Bookworms, You know how there are approximately thirty seven zillion different Jane Austen retellings? I almost always enjoy them, but when I don’t realize I’ve picked up yet another revamp of Pride and Prejudice, sometimes I get the teensiest bit cranky. There are other Austens!

2021, Week the Forty-Fifth: A Giant Hot Swedish Family
Hello Bookworms! I recently binged a romance series. I hesitate to say it’s the entire series because there are at least 3 Bergmans left, BUT I’ve completed what is currently available of The Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Liese. It centers on the love stories of a large Swedish-American brood, the Bergmans. There are seven… Read more »

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. Also didn’t want to rush and publish a slapdash post for this particular set of books, because they’re all wonderful and surprisingly tender. They’re just so heartfelt and lovely that they… Read more »
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.
