So, this Valentine’s Day, let’s bring all of that out into […]
You May Be a Bookworm If …
Just because you read a lot doesn’t mean you’re an actual bookworm. Bookworms are a special breed. They’re not just committed to their books, they’re attached. (Like the joke around the eggs and bacon – the chicken is committed but the bacon is attached.) And if you’re wondering if YOU may be one of the […]

Fall Reading Challenge
It’s here! My favorite time of year. The leaves are changing, there’s a new crispness to the air, football is on the television, the best holidays are right around the corner, and pumpkin spice lattes are on the menu.
