Bonjour, Bookworms! I feel like greeting you in French because ballet lingo is all in French, and today, we’re talking about le danse! When I saw Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead in the Netgalley catalog, I requested it IMMEDIATELY. I have a soft spot for dance, what can I say? I spent most of my childhood… Read more »
Happy Tuesday, Bookworms! You know what I love about Tuesdays? Making lists with the ladies of The Broke and the Bookish!

You can click HERE if you’re interested. But you’ll be happy to know that this… Read more »
Greetings, Bookworms! I turned 31 this weekend. The fact does not thrill me. In order to combat the “I’m getting old” blues, I thought it would be a good time to write about some YA fiction I read recently.
