Confession Friday: My Sense of Humor is Ridiculous
Happy Friday, Bookworms! I must confess. My sense of humor is often completely ridiculous. You know how sometimes you find something hysterical that probably isn’t all THAT funny? I have seen this clip several times over the past few years and EVERY TIME it leaves me howling. It makes me laugh until my tummy hurts…. Read more »
The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Hola Bookworms, It’s occurred to me that while I chatter to y’all incessently, I very rarely discuss what I spend the vast majority of my time doing. That’s right. I’ve got a grown-up job. I don’t talk about my job much for a couple of reasons. First, it has absolutely nothing to do with books…. Read more »

Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Greetings, Bookworms! Last week I talked about how much I enjoyed Divergent by Veronica Roth, and in true Katie fashion, I began the second book IMMEDIATELY after finishing the first. I’ve been completely sucked into this world, so Insurgent and I got along juuuuuust fine. I said the other day that the second book in a trilogy… Read more »
Take Me Down, Six Underground (Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman)
Well Hello Bookworms, I am not much of a world traveler, so it may surprise you to know I have, in fact, left the good old USA on occasion. When I was in college, I took a mini-mester in London. It was a two week trip where our instructors traveled with us. We took three… Read more »
Confession Friday: I Had to Google "Twerking"
Hey there Bookworms! Happy Friday! It’s been a while since I’ve hit the confessional, so I thought I’d clue y’all in to how utterly out of touch and uncool I truly am. All week everyone has been talking about the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs, for anyone that’s even more out of touch than I… Read more »
