Hello! Hello! Fellow Bookworms! Today marks the end of June and moves us into the second half of the year. At the beginning of the year, I had set some reading goals. This year, I didn't want to just read to hit a number, but wanted to expand the types of challenges I did, and [...]
"In Croswald, the only thing more powerful than dark magic in one secret..." This book was a delight! A magical, joyful delight! At the very beginning, we are introduced to Derwin Edward Night, a young and talented scrivenist heading to serve his new Royal family. Except, he never quite makes it and we are left [...]
The Owl Always Hunts At Night by Samuel Bjørk My rating: 4 of 5 stars I admit, I am always a bit nervous when sitting down to start a new crime thriller. I'm afraid it won't be thrilling enough, or compelling enough, or shocking enough. I am especially nervous when reading an author I haven't [...]

You Will Know Me by Megan Abbott My rating: 4 of 5 stars When I was younger, I took dance classes. I started ballet when I was three, adding tap and jazz along the way. I participated in recitals and private lessons and even competed. The world of competitive dance was too much for me, [...]
The Hot Guy by Mel Campbell My rating: 3 of 5 stars I liked the premise of this book, and really wanted it to be more. It sounded fun, had some really funny, witty writing and even had a decent plot line. Which makes this a difficult review to write, because I did enjoy the [...]
We live in a social media world. For better or for worse. There was a time, not so long ago, when sharing every aspect of your personal life would have been considered obnoxious and narcissistic. Who needs to know where I am or what I am eating every hour of the day? Those private details [...]
