If you’re someone who has a child—or who works with children … or occasionally kidnaps someone else’s child—no doubt you’ve felt the bitter frustration of attempting to get a non-reader to read. Listen, I’ve done a lot of harrowing things in my life. Well … some. I’ve done some harrowing things in my life. Nothing […]
2020 has been a decade, but you know, at least something good came out of it. Namely, these books! My original goal for 2020 was to read 150 books, my stretch goal was 175, and my stretch stretch goal was 200. I ended up reading a whopping 180 books, which is way more than I […]
Today’s post asks one of the hardest questions you can ask a bookwyrm. No, not even anything TBR related (though you know how much we all dread that, too). I’m talking about the horrible F-word. You know, *whispers* favorites. Sorry you had to hear that. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is favorite books of 2020. […]

It may come as no surprise that the woman with the dragon layout has a thing for fantasy. But in case you hadn’t noticed yet … I do. Fantasy is definitely my thing. It makes up the majority of what I read, and even when I read other genres, they tend to have a fantasy/magical […]
It’s time to shout-out some great MG and YA books. My theme this week is: witchy goodness. Continuing on with the Wyrd & Wonder theme of fantasy this month, I come to you bearing not only two fantasy novels, but two such books that happen to filled with witchy goodness. Of course, in one, the […]
It’s time to shout-out some great MG and YA books. My theme this week is: fantastical fantasy. Since Wyrd & Wonder will be starting tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to highlight some fantasy. Yes, I’m actually early for something for a change. Please don’t die of shock. I worked hard to write this […]
