What Does the Bookworm Say?: Social Media

Hi and welcome to What Does the Bookworm Say?, a feature where I discuss bookish topics with my friends at The Reader’s Antidote, Books Unbound and The Windy Pages. Each week, we will discuss a new bookish topic. This week’s topic is social media. What are your thoughts on social media? 

Uncovered (117): Falling Into Place

Uncovered (117): Falling Into Place

Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover? Uncovered is a weekly post where I show some cover love. Hope you enjoy! I was hopping around Goodreads recently (as one does) and came across the cover to the upcoming novel Falling Into Place by Amy 

Audiobook Review: I Don’t Know What You Know Me From by Judy Greer

Audiobook Review: I Don’t Know What You Know Me From by Judy Greer

I’ve been a fan of Judy Greer’s for a while now. While she may not be instantly recognizable to some, her acting resume is impressive and varied. She’s been in Thirteen Going On Thirty, The Wedding Planner, Arrested Development, The Village and 27 Dresses. One of my favorite roles of hers is Cheryl/Carol from the animated series Archer, in which she plays a psychotic railway heiress who likes auto-erotic asphyxiation, bobcats and country music. She often plays the best friend or kooky co-worker, which suits her well as she seems like she would be a really great girlfriend.

Uncovered (116): I’ll Give You the Sun

Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover? While it isn’t always the marker of a good book, it certainly helps when I am making a decision at the bookstore. Uncovered is my weekly post that pays homage to great book covers. Each week I’ll talk about one of my current cover loves.

This week’s Uncovered post is all about I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson.

ALA 2014 Recap + Giveaway

Hi, everyone! Sorry this post is a bit late but I feel like I needed a little time to recover from ALA and the Fourth of July weekend. I can’t believe that ALA is over. I had been planning the trip with my friends since 

Review: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han

Review: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han

I just finished this book and I have to say wow, I really liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Though I’ve heard lots of great things about Jenny Han (I have her Summer series one shelf waiting to be read and have met her and find her think she’s funny and adorable), contemporary YA novels aren’t usually my thing and I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this. However, the pretty pink cover drew me in and I decided to give it a chance, and I’m so glad I did. To All the Boys is fantastically written, with well developed characters and relationships that make for a standout novel.
