Happy Tuesday, Bookworms! As you know, on Tuesdays, I make lists with The Broke and The Bookish. Today’s topic is my Top Ten Bookish Goals for 2013. It’s a big old list o’ resolutions. Let’s do this thing! 1. I (rather foolishly) committed myself to read 100 books in 2013 via the Goodreads Challenge. Now, I… Read more »
On Gold Mountain by Lisa See: A Lesson in Reading the Synopsis Before Purchase
Hey Bookworms, How is everyone doing today? I just finished slogging through Lisa See’s On Gold Mountain. It taught me a very important lesson. You should always read the synopsis of a book before you click purchase. This was on sale for the kindle so I snapped it up thinking, “Oh Lisa See! Always such great tidbits… Read more »
Confession Friday: I'm A Low Talker. Apparently.
Happy Friday, Bookworms! It’s been a while since my last confession, but I just can’t keep this one in any longer. According to the pharmacist at Wal-Mart (don’t judge me- I’m frugal!) I am a low-talker. Seinfeld did an episode on low-talkers, but I just saw Pitch Perfect and the only low-talker I shall ever… Read more »
A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows by Diana FREAKING Gabaldon!
Have I not sufficiently expressed my adoration for Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series?! Because OMG I love it so much. My Aunt told my mom that she absolutely had to read these books (Hi Margie!) I borrowed the books from my mom. They are super awesome. Anyways, Diana Gabaldon recently published a novella explaining the mysteries… Read more »
The Fault In Our Stars (Is That We Haven't Enough Tissues) by John Green
Good Day My Dear Bookworms, I typically don’t read a ton of young adult literature, but I’m beginning to branch out into the genre more and more. There’s some amazing stuff out there geared toward teens these days. After seeing this book on a crap ton of “Best Books of 2012” lists, I decided to… Read more »

Do You Hear The People Sing? (Give Them ALL THE OSCARS!)
Hiya Bookworms, Oh man. I just saw Les Miserables. I rarely go to movies because I don’t like to put on clothes that aren’t pajamas on weekends. Yes, I’m exaggerating. But I seriously don’t go to the movies that much. Which is why I can in good conscience declare that Les Miserables should win ALL THE OSCARS! (It’s not… Read more »
9 out of 10 Penguins Prefer My Blog (The 10th Penguin was Eaten by a Leopard Seal.)
Hello my Bookworms! I know, I know, I’ve been absent. I’m sorry. I’ve been rolling around jovially in a potent stew of holiday spirit, thousands of cookies, and more than a few drops of liquor. It’s been a magical experience, to be sure. I’ve been trying to keep up with my reading, but you try… Read more »
Merry Christmas To All, And To All A Good Night
God Rest Ye Merry Bookworms, Let nothing you dismay. I’ll be back to writing for you After Christmas Day. My husband sits here being weird, And I think that’s okay. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and Joy. Ooooh-oh ti-idings of co-omfort and joy!
Don't They Know It's The End of the World?
Hi Bookworms! Today is “Doomsday.” People who have misinterpreted the Mayan calendar have decided that the world is supposed to end today. I’d really prefer the world not end. I have things planned for next week. Beyond that though, I’d do very very poorly in a post-apocalyptic world. I looooove dystopian novels, so I figured… Read more »
