Howdy Bookworms, Since my kidlet has returned to school, I’ve had more opportunity to enjoy listening to audio books. It’s been a bit of a binge listening situation around here. I’m also still reading with my eyeballs, too, of course, but I really missed audio books. Sammers has been doing well at school, and despite… Read more »
Well Met, Bookworms! Did I just go all Renaissance Faire on you? I did. And for reasons. I have finally conquered the non-fiction book that I’ve been reading at a tortoise-like pace and I am here to tell you all about North by Shakespeare by Michael Blanding. I received a digital galley of this book… Read more »
Hidey Ho, Bookworms,Sorry I flaked on you last week but it was a doozy. As of last Saturday I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (both shots plus 2 weeks.) So is my husband. Working from home full time for an entire year with a toddler was not doing either me or the toddler any favors…. Read more »
Hidey Ho, Bookworms!I was trying to think of a subtitle for this week’s blog and all I could come up with were 20 year old Barenaked Ladies lyrics. Hi, I’m An Old. Anyway. I’m very very slowly meandering through a non-fiction book right now. It’s really good and interesting but I just cannot read non… Read more »
Hello My Dear Bookworms, My reading has been going pretty slowly this week, so I figured I’d take this opportunity to highlight some of the books that I’ve been enjoying reading with Sam lately. We’re hopefully coming to the end of the seemingly endless working-from-home-with-a-small-child-to-avoid-COVID thing. The grown ups in this family are well on their way… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms! This week I celebrated my second birthday under quarantine. I was told that I don’t have to count birthdays during the lost year, so I’m happy to report that I remain 36 years old. Just kidding. I’m 38 and it’s FINE. Really. I don’t know why I continuously have anxiety about aging because… Read more »
Hello There, Bookworms, Ah, another week into 2021. Still pretty much the same old story around our house, but I’m optimistic that things will change soon. I mean, they have to, right? Because my “two weeks” of working from home with a toddler has been a OVER A YEAR. Vaccines are finally becoming less scarce,… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms, Exciting week! I finished an audio book I’ve been working on for a while AND got through a second audio book! Sam and I have reached an agreement on the nap front. IE: I no longer expect that he’ll nap as a matter of course. We’ve compromised on his having “quiet time” in… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms, It’s March again. I’m having some feelings about the lost year. That’s what it feels like. It’s just… Lost. There’s stuff that should have happened that just didn’t. It’s a weird, time-warp-y situation, especially since we’re (knock wood) starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. A year ago I… Read more »
Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Bookworms! I hope you’re all warm and safe and healthy. I don’t know that I have a ton of readers at the moment, but if any of you are reading this from Texas, I sure hope things have improved for you. What a nightmare! I’m just here in the… Read more »
