Happy Tuesday, Bookworms! It’s time for our weekly list fix with the ladies of The Broke and the Bookish! This week the book blogosphere has been challenged to come up with our top ten books about friendship. D’awwwwww. Shall we? 1. Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg. Was there ever such… Read more »
Hello my darling Bookworms! I know I’ve been a bit out of touch, and I do apologize, but I had a lot of good quality Aunt-ing to get done over the past week. It’s been wonderful, but I’m hopping back in the saddle. I suppose now would be an appropriate time to make a joke… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms! I don’t know what is is about the American Civil War, but I cannot get enough historical fiction based on the time period.

It won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and the book blogosphere has been all a-twitter about its greatness. I couldn’t in good conscience keep going along ignoring this book, but… This… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms, It’s Tuesday again, which means the time for list making is nigh. This week the ladies of The Broke and the Bookish have asked us this week to list out ten book covers with art lovely enough to hang on our walls. I rarely notice cover art as I do the vast majority… Read more »
G’Day Bookworms, It’s been well established that I love a good plague story. I saw a review of Killing Williamsburg by Bradley Spinelli a while ago on Life Between Books. I commented that it sounded right up my alley, when lo and behold, I was contacted by the people behind Killing Williamsburg with an offer to read and… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms! I am very excited today because I officially get to check an item off my Bookish Bucket List! That’s right, kiddos, I helped put on a Bookish Baby Shower for one of the members of my book club and it was so much fun! “C” is our resident pregnant lady, expecting a little… Read more »
