G’Day, Bookworms! Man, do I ever love audio books. The last time I read a book by Liane Moriarty, I spent the first few chapters thinking the What Alice Forgot (review) was set in England only to be jarred when a mention of Sydney forced me to re-align my mental accent. I’m sure I would have… Read more »

Top Ten Tuesday Freebie: Potter Binge Highlights
Happy Tuesday, Bookworms! It’s been an age since I participated in a Top Ten Tuesday with The Broke and the Bookish. Me and my lazy pants blogging haven’t been feeling up to the challenge. Today’s topic is a freebie, though, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to put together my highlight reel for the… Read more »
Someone Else’s Love Story by Joshilyn Jackson
Happy Monday, Bookworms! You know what my favorite thing is? No? I don’t really know either, I have so many favorite things. One of the things I do happen to love, though, is when I pick up a book by an author I’ve not read before and upon finishing it want to add said author’s… Read more »
Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn
Good Day, Bookworms! Last year I participated in a super fun book blogger Valentine gift swap and received a copy of Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn. It took me nearly a year to get around to reading it, of course, but you understand. The burden of an overflowing TBR list is a real struggle. Read… Read more »
Bite Size Reviews: Jan 2016 Edition
Greetings Bookworms! I’ve been reading more than I’ve been blogging lately, and believe it or not, I’ve been reading things OTHER than Harry Potter. Of course, Harry Potter is so SOUL CONSUMING that I didn’t feel like discussing anything else. Today we’re going to play catch up and take a quick look at some of… Read more »
Thoughts on Revisiting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2
Oh Bookworms, It’s time. We’ve reached the very last half of the very last book of the Potter Binge. I want to thank the Estella Society for hosting this re-readalong. I’ve had so much fun reliving the magic. It’s worth every minute of the Harry Potter hangover I’m about to endure. My emotional stability is… Read more »
Thoughts on Revisiting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
Greetings, Bookworms. We’ve reached the final, darkest, and most emotionally draining installment of the Potter Binge (sponsored by the Estella Society), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. You know it’s going to be intense immediately if you’re listening to the audio books, because the musical introduction changes from a jaunty tune to a rather creeptastic… Read more »
Thoughts on Revisiting Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Part 2
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! I simply cannot get enough of The Estella Society sponsored Potter Binge. Honestly, I’ve had so many great conversations with real life friends and coworkers as well as with the internet that I just want to bring y’all over for a nice warm butterbeer and some treacle tart. Except, I’ve never had… Read more »
The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald
Good Day, Bookworms. It’s no secret that I’ve got something of a soft spot for books about books. Or books about readers. Or books about book clubs. What can I say? I can relate to the characters so easily if they like to spend their time with their noses in a book, you know? Of… Read more »
Thoughts on Revisiting Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Part 1
Happy New Year, Bookworms! I thought about kicking off the new year with a big old list of resolutions or something, but who are we kidding? I would break every last one of those resolutions and then feel worse about it because I’d announced them to the world. Why should I put myself under that… Read more »
