Greetings Bookworms, We’ve got soe big things on the horizon this week. Sammy will be going on his very first field trip! I will be chaperoning, because I too want to go to the pumpkin patch. Plus, seventeen four-year-olds really cannot have enough adult supervision. Let’s hope this whole endeavor runs smoothly, because frankly, I… Read more »
Ahoy, Bookworms! Today be “Talk Like a Pirate Day” and if there’s one thing I know about little scallywags, it’s that they love a good pirate story. Y’all, my Pirate is rusty as heck. Which is surprising since every one of Sam’s baths lately has involved a pirate ship. (Also a police boat that’s entirely… Read more »
Hello Bookworms, How are we all coping this week? Well, I hope. Or at least, as well as can be expected under the circumstances. My week got off to a rocky start because a certain 4 year old of my acquaintance decided that he wants to be a pre-school dropout. After some mild cajoling, I… Read more »
It has been a WEEK, Bookworms. With the Delta variant circulating, it was probably inevitable, but last week we got notice of Sammy’s first COVID exposure through daycare. He tested negative (thank heaven) and we were very prepared for quarantine, but that was terrifying. I feel guilty. And helpless. I mean, we kept him home… Read more »
G’Day Bookworms! I hope you’re all staying safe and healthy. The world is… A really really huge mess right now. And while I’m not saying that you should stick your head in a romance novel and ignore everything around you, I’m also not NOT saying that? I just want to encourage self care, OK? If… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms, I’m really glad that when I requested this book from NetGalley, it came with something of a disclaimer. While it is, in fact, the third installment of the Helen Hoang series that began with The Kiss Quotient (review) and The Bride Test, The Heart Principle is tonally very different. *I received a complimentary… Read more »
Hey Bookworms, You know that thing that always happens when you place several books on hold at the library? You know, the thing where they inevitably all come in at the same time? It is a truth universally acknowledged, and not limited to physical books, apparently. I recently experienced a flood of digital holds becoming… Read more »
Ho, Bookworms. Remember a few weeks back when I told you all about the Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon and how I was binge reading them? Well. I took a short break and then started up again. What?! They’ve very enjoyable, OK? And, I’m refusing to call them a “guilty” pleasure no matter… Read more »
Hello Darling Bookworms, I do not recommend moving. It is extremely stressful, especially when you have accumulated 13 years worth of stuff in a too-small house and have a child with every single toy known to humankind. We’re in the midst of a prolonged move-out process (which was planned, though it still sucks.) All that… Read more »
Hey There Bookworms! How is everyone doing? I’m a steamy pile of anxiety. Like, I woke up this morning because I was having a dream so awful I was dry-heaving. I mean, I always have anxiety dreams but this was unusually horrible. I have a lot on my plate right now, so it’s not unexpected,… Read more »
