Konnichiwa Bookworms, The other day Hubs and I were driving somewhere when everyone’s favorite Styx song came on the radio. I share this because it’s important, and I don’t want to be the only one with the song stuck in my head. Behold: Now that we all have robots on the brain, let’s talk about some… Read more »
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! It probably won’t come as a huge surprise to any of you, but I’m a bit of a homebody. I like the idea of travel, but I seem to have been born with zero wanderlust. That said, I really like to travel vicariously though books. All the glamour, none of the bedbugs. When… Read more »
Happy Tuesday, Bookworms! For a while now, I’ve been on a personal quest. I’ve been trying to complete my very own Reading Rainbow. There are a ton of great books that list colors in their titles, and I wanted to have read one for each of the colors in the rainbow. This is how my… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms! You’re in for a treat today, because we’re talking about Emma Donoghue. Again. She’s awesome, what can I say? After reading and loving Frog Music a while back (review) I decided I needed MORE of Emma Donoghue’s historical fiction, and if prostitutes were involved, all the better. Luckily, Emma Donoghue’s back list offered me… Read more »
Greetings, Bookworms! I was on the fence about participating in the Six Degrees of Separation meme (hosted by Annabel Smith and Emma Chapman) this month because the starting point is a book I haven’t read, The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. Boosted by the fact that April created her post not having read the book either, I figured I… Read more »
Happy Thursday, Bookworms! Sometimes after having read something outside of my comfort zone, I like to follow it up with a comforting read. My happy place is women’s fiction. I hesitate to call it “chick lit,” because I tend to think of chick lit as sassy, but my comfort reads are decidedly sweet. I was… Read more »
What’s up, Bookworms? I imagine things are wonderful, as here in North America, it’s finally SUMMER!!! (I can’t help but imagine Josh Gad belting right there. You just did too. Admit it.) This week this ladies of The Broke and the Bookish have asked us to list out what is on our pile o’ books… Read more »
BOOKWORMS! THIS. IS. SPARTA CARTHAGE! Why yes, I have seen 300. And Gladiator. And you know? Despite the gore, I rather enjoyed both films. Thanks to these movies, when I was offered a copy of Hannibal: Enemy of Rome by Ben Kane, I thought I’d give it a shot. *I received a complimentary copy of this… Read more »
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! I don’t know about you, but after reading Northanger Abbey last month, I’m totally jazzed about The Fellowship of the Worms! A good discussion will do that for you. After careful consideration (by which I mean I saw a whole lot of super positive reviews around the blogosphere) I’ve chosen The Storied… Read more »
Ahoy, Bookworms! Who’s up for a little romance on the high seas? You’re not? Well, TOO BAD! A few weeks ago, I ran across an article on NPR books discussing the re-printing of a well loved romance novel from the early 1980s called The Windflower. After that kind of review, I couldn’t NOT read this,… Read more »
