Short stories for every reader
Hello Bookworms, when I was younger, my most effective way out of a reading slump would be diving into a short and entertaining comic. Something that, seemingly, we can all agree, is easy to read. I needed a sort of palate cleanser, something not too easy, but not nearly taking any energy I would need Continue reading

book review – autopsy of an ex-teen heartthrob
Hello Bookworms, I am certainly no poetry expert; I would say I am an expert at nothing at all, even. But I do think I can say with certainty what this collection of poems lacked. And it was honesty. I was looking forward to this read for a variety of reasons, some being out of Continue reading

A Reading List for severance
Hello Bookworms, if the title has confused you, Severance is a show. Now don’t get confused, I’m not here to force you to watch Severance. I’ve never liked when people insist on pushing popular shows onto me. But by the time you finish reading, I suspect you’ll be at least intrigued by what this show Continue reading

My obsession with the library
Hello Bookworms, what is the importance of a library? Well, what is the importance of a sanctuary, a home, or a safe space? These could easily be interchanged with the first, as they pose the same question to me. I cannot remember when I was not elated to visit the library. As a child, my Continue reading

a reading list for ryan ๋࣭ ⭑
Hello bookworms, I had a magnificent friend who passed away. He was always focused on self-improvement, bettering himself, and overall just being a better human. This made him such a gift to be around and to talk to. He was someone who left every interaction positive. He really made me a better person and taught Continue reading

Hello Bookworms, only a few books touch me. But the few and far between that are why I continue to be such a devoted reader. Even from its cover, Klara and the Sun had always given me the inkling that something extraordinary awaited me inside. The cover, with its serene depiction, seemed to promise a Continue reading

winter means pillows of comfort
Hello, bookworms; this was originally meant to be a post about November. It then turned into December, and now it’s about winter. The process of giving myself more time is a great one. These past few months have flown by. They always do, and so for that, I am not surprised. It’s comforting to be Continue reading

word of the day – jolabokaflod
Hello, bookworms; I’m almost certain this is a new word for many of you. It certainly was for me. And as someone who loves “collecting” words, if you can even call it that, this was a delightful discovery. I do enjoy collecting various things, and I don’t see why words cannot fall under this category. Continue reading

spending fall with Søren Kierkegaard
Hello bookworms, one thing about studying abroad, to warn you all, is that you will miss your mother. This may seem glaringly evident; however, past Erin, silly old me, silly August Erin…quite overestimated her abilities. The only upside I can recount to being away from my lovely mom is that she cannot stop me from Continue reading

book review – giovanni’s room by james baldwin
Hello bookworms, for the past few months, I’ve had a sudden change in my luck with the books I was reading. Thank you to my fairy godmother. I must’ve been blessed, but I went from feeling mediocre about the novels I had read to discovering new favourites almost every read. Giovanni’s room was one I Continue reading
