I think it’s probably no surprise by now that books have a habit of sort of languishing, shall we say, on my TBR. Chilling. Taking their time. Enjoying the view. And speaking of enjoying the view, it’s probably also no surprise that many of them end up there thanks to their stunning cover. I mean, […]
It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE books that involve superpowers. Any sort of superpower, whether it’s the traditional superhero book or magic or just amazing people who are obviously superheroes whether they know it or not. It may surprise some of you, but I’m a very normal, non-super human. Trust me, no one’s more […]
Romantasy is what you get when romance and fantasy begrudgingly set aside their rivalry and make a love-child that blends magic with stabbiness . . . but in a steamy way? I confess that I used to think that romantasy wasn’t my thing, even though it’s hard to imagine that was ever the case. Because […]
I feel like novellas are really trending lately, and why shouldn’t they? Sometimes readers are busy (rare, but sure, nerds have lives too) and there’s nothing better than a short, bite-sized book to satisfy your reading needs. I confess that I used to have my doubts about novellas, too. How can an author possibly tell […]
New years mean different things to everyone. Sometimes new resolutions. Sometimes the marking of new opportunities. And sometimes just one step closer in the march to the endless, inevitable void that some call the future. But for bookwyrms? New years mean new books, which means new authors to discover! Also, maybe (probably) some of the […]
I think we can all agree that 2023 didn’t exactly go to plan. It started off perfectly fine, as far as years go, but went off the rail somewhere along the way, and we didn’t quite do all the many well-intentioned things we’d intended. You know, like reading all the books. Okay, sure, we probably […]
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 […]
Oh yeeeah, it’s time for Fall TBRs. You know what that means! Spooky stories, cozy romances, weird paranormal stuff, and, most importantly, a fresh start with a group of books that, let’s face it, you’ll probably completely ignore in favor of all the books that weren’t on your TBR. What? Just me? Pffft, I refuse […]
When someone mentions relationships in a book, a lot of readers immediately go to romance . . . and okay, fair enough. But as an asexual, I would like to counter that there’s more to relationships than just romance! Am I maybe biased in this opinion? Okay, yeah, sure, probably. But do I have a […]
