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 […]
It’s that time of year! Today is Valentine’s Day, when love is in the air amongst all those hopeful singles and new couples who still have something to prove. To translate that for all you old married couples like hubby and I, it’s time to argue over who has to take the offspring to her […]
A new year means new books, and new books means new authors to fall in love with! While I obviously intend to continue with the tried-and-true authors whose work I already love, it’s always exciting to discover new talents! 2023 is already shaping up to be an interesting year for releases. I keep saying I’m […]
You know what all these books have too much of? Words. More books with pictures! *Thor-smashes mug* Specifically, I’m talking about manga and graphic novels. Because someone has to! I feel like these are things that tend to get overlooked. Especially now that I work at a library, I see first-hand what a bad rap […]
