Howdy Bookworms, How y’all doing? You remember how much I loved Saving CeeCee Honeycutt? You don’t? Well. Go HERE. I’ll wait. Back? Good! Fortune smiled on me a few weeks back and I won a $20 gift card to Book Depository from I Solemnly Swear. Amanda was kind enough to allow me to go 14… Read more »
A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka
Privit Bookworms, That’s a Ukrainian greeting right there, translated into familiar characters, because Ukrainian uses a whole different alphabet. It looks pretty cool, but I thought I’d avoid having y’all think I was hacked first thing in my post. Why all the chatter about Ukrainian? A book, obviously. Last month I joined The Book Wheel and… Read more »

Howdy Bookworms, It’s Tuesday and you know what that means! The ladies of The Broke and the Bookish have tempted me with yet another list prompt. Today they’ve asked us to list our top ten books in ANY GENRE WE WANT. I can make up a genre, right? I mean, if I can think of… Read more »
Real Happy Family by Caeli Wolfson Widger (A TLC Book Tour)
Ciao Bookworms, I feel like I should be greeting you with air kisses today, because we’re going to Hollywood! Actually, we’re going more to the seedy underbelly of show business, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Mister Owita’s Guide to Gardening by Carol Wall
Greetings Glorious Bookworms, I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but it is STILL winter here. The eternal, never done snowing, frozen, messy, gray, icky winter is still holding on. That hasn’t stopped me from pining away for spring time and my garden, though. That’s part of the reason why I was super… Read more »

Happy Tuesday, Bookworms! We’re back with another Top Ten list this week (yaaaaaaaay!) Sorry for the lapse, but you know how it is. Some topics are easier for me to work with than others.

The Peach Keeper By Sarah Addison Allen
How Y’all Doing, Bookworms? I have really been digging some Southern Fried Fiction lately! I recently finished Sarah Addison Allen’s The Peach Keeper, and now I want to talk about it. (Novel concept, right? I should probably write a book blog! Oh wait…) Willa Jackson lives in Walls of Water, North Carolina. Her family were… Read more »
Idiosyncratic Lit List: Shifting Perspectives
Happy Friday, Bookworms! It’s been a while since I made a list (like, a week or two? Too long, certainly.) I ran across this fantastic post on Book Riot recently. Then I came across this one on The Huffington Post. They are both about how cool it would be to read a book from another… Read more »
Wilkie in Winter: The Woman in White Epoch 3
Wahoo, Bookworms! I feel so accomplished, I finished The Woman in White! A classic and a chunkster. Bam. I must extend my gratitude to The Estella Society, because without their read-a-long, I don’t think I would have tackled it. Since I’m talking about the final third of the book, consider this your SPOILER ALERT. Let’s take… Read more »
