Welp, it is now somehow . . . *checks calendar* . . . 2024? Hmm. That doesn’t seem right, but okay. And in case you’ve forgotten who I was, I am Sammie, resident bookwyrm of The Bookwyrm’s Den, and okay, I get it, it’s kind of been a minute, hasn’t it? I’m not entirely sure […]
It is now . . . *checks notes* October. I’m pretty sure 2023 has been a fever dream that we will eventually wake up from. But until then . . . BOOKS! Specifically, bookish goals, now that the end-of-year deadline is apparently lurking just around the corner. So, at the beginning of 2023, I did […]
Okay, technically the title of this is a teensy bit misleading, because, spoiler alert, I’ve been here this entire time. You know, fangirling over various books, being threatened by my now-sentient (and out for revenge) TBR, and “buying too many books,” according to hubby . . . whatever that means. Pffft, if I’m honest, I’m […]
In case you haven’t heard, libraries are these mystical, magical places filled with fun, chaos, other worlds, and sometimes serial killers. In the fictional sense, of course. I may be just a teensy biased in this assessment, though, seeing as how I work for one. Yes, it’s true. I’ve worked in this small, rural library […]
Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly bookish meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and is now hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits! Each Friday, there is a discussion topic for bloggers to write about, which I post on Saturday because, pffft, what even is time anyway. This week’s Let’s Talk Bookish topic is: 2023 Reading […]
Most of you know by now that I don’t love reading books with heavy romance . . . but when I do, I prefer my romance to be full of conflict, tension, banter, and questionable life choices. You know, like it was intended to be. Even though I don’t read a ton of romance, every […]
More and more, I’m seeing silly (and often frustrating) misconceptions about what it actually means to be a librarian, so I’m here to set a few things straight. I did a post similar to this a couple years back called A Day in the Life of a Book Blogger, and that was well-received. So I […]
For those who didn’t know, I spent from January 2021 to May 2022 in grad school pursuing my Master’s of Science in Library Science (otherwise, more conveniently, known as an MSLS). I was not, as it turns out, kidnapped by dragons, forced to accept the bone throne, and become their blood queen. Yeah, I know, […]
I don’t really “do” resolutions, because I think they’re these horribly flimsy things that have the tendency to buckle under scrutiny. So really, what we have here is a list of hopes and wishes for 2022. Now, that’s not to say that they also won’t buckle under scrutiny. That’s definitely not what I’m saying at […]
February is the month of loooove. What do we love here at The Bookwyrm’s Den? Books and coffee, of course! So yes, this month was the month of books and coffee, which isn’t really a bad way to spend a month, is it? It’s actually kind of ideal now that I think about it. It […]
