Hey There Bookworms, I was in the mood for more rom-coms recently (when am I NOT in the mood for rom-coms, honestly?) and I thought I’d check out a new-to-me author. I’ve seen Jackie Lau on Twitter and she always seems lovely and smart, so I imagined her books would be similarly lovely and smart…. Read more »
2021, Week the Twenty-Ninth: In Which I’m a Bit of a Grump
Hiya Bookworms, I realize I missed a couple weeks, but since it’s a bonkers time at work and a bonkers time at home with the upcoming move, I’m just going to be a hot mess for a while. A hot mess who is ravenously devouring books as a coping mechanism because I am deeply uncomfortable… Read more »
2021, Week the Twenty Sixth: I Read a Bunch of Romance Novels About Blue Aliens and I’m Not Mad About It
Hey Bookworms, I have a bookternet friend, Sarah. She’s never steered me wrong when it comes to romances, it’s true, but when she started talking about a series called Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon I wasn’t sure that I wanted to go there. I don’t want to yuck anyone else’s yum, but I typically… Read more »
2021, Week the Twenty-Fifth: A Deal With the Devil
Hey Bookworms, There is absolutely no common thread in any of the books I’m talking about this week. I mean, it is the mishiest mashiest roundup. Some weeks are like that, though. And other weeks you binge read a bunch of romance novels featuring blue aliens… Oh wait. I’m telling you about those NEXT week…. Read more »
2021, Week the Twenty-Fourth: Blessed be the Rom-Com
Hiya Bookworms, Sam has been back in daycare for about 2 months now. It’s been good for him, though, not without its challenges, and it’s provided me with a heck of a lot more quiet time than I’d become accustomed to (hence all the audiobook bingeing.) I am still working from home, mostly because I… Read more »
2021, Week the Twenty-Third: I’ll Take Disturbing Sci-Fi for $300, Alex
Greetings Bookworms, I took a break from my endless stream of romantic comedies to read some science fiction. I read one book at the suggestion of a group of long time bookternet friends and the others at the suggestion of “you bought this series on sale because you typically love the author but it’s been… Read more »
2021, Week the Twenty-Second: There’s Something About Marysburg
Hello My Darling Bookworms, I fell head over heels for Olivia Dade’s writing when I read Spoiler Alert (review) so it was only a matter of time before I started reading her back list. I enjoyed the entire There’s Something About Marysburg series via audio, thanks be to my Library’s Hoopla services. Kelsey Navarro is… Read more »
2021, Week the Twenty-First: Give Me All Your Rom-Coms and Nobody Will Get Hurt
Hey There, Bookworms, Life is slowly but surely starting to get lively again. I’ve now got errands to run and things to coordinate and stuff to worry about. Who am I kidding? I worry about everything all the time pandemic notwithstanding. It’s basically the description of my Enneagram personality type. Anybody else a 6? We’re… Read more »
2021, Week the Twentieth: Let’s Go to Grayson Grove
Howdy Bookworms, I’ve been reading through Beverly Jenkins’s backlist lately and I thought I’d tell you about the Grayson Family duology in the same post even though it’s slightly out of the chronological order of my reading. As though anyone other than me is keeping tabs on that sort of thing. Sometimes my brain boggles… Read more »
2021, Week the Nineteenth: It’s not Pride and Prejudice… But it’s Kind of Pride and Prejudice.
Hello Hello, Bookworms! Another week has gone by and we’re getting more and more re-integrated into life as it once was. Now that our extended family circles are fully vaccinated (minus the kids, of course, but they’ll all be vaccinated as soon as it’s approved) we’ve been making plans for visits and birthdays and summer… Read more »
