As I said, lots has changed and this website will have to as well. Lots of work ahead. E-readers seem to have taken over! It’s great and sad all at the same time. Great because we are finding solutions to help this planet stay clean, and we are advancing our technology. Sad, because there is [...]

Of course I am still a bookworm! Unfortunately, this world seems to move faster than the speed of light and at times keeping up is difficult. The way we read has just changed so much that I wasn’t sure what to do here anymore! Lot’s has changed since I last blogged. I have created two [...]

 Well, this will not be a book review. This is my nudge to you, to please believe that you can make a difference in bettering our planet. Make small changes, they add up to great accomplishments. Recycle, compost, reduce water consumption, omit chemicals, quit smoking, bike/walk instead of driving…so many ways to make a change. [...]

I read The Next Best Thing by Kristan Higgins; a feel good romance novel. As I mentioned in previous posts, I love romances. I equate them to what people classify as “chick flicks”.  So any who… I enjoyed the book, worth the read. So, falling in love, do we have control over who? The book is about [...]

Author Danielle Steele was on The View yesterday and I caught just very little of it. Joy asked her why she never writes sex scenes, the response was that she always prefers to close the bedroom door. Something about not being a voyeur was mentioned although I cannot recall who said it. So I got to [...]

When I had my son, Christopher, I had the opportunity to open myself up to the wonderful library of books available to children. Some, from my childhood, I revisited, and others I enjoyed for the first time. One book that was new to me yet first published in 1952 is Charlottes Web by E.B. White. Fern [...]

Happy 2010 bookworms! I kept meaning to read, The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold, and when I saw a movie trailer for it, I made sure to read it fast, not that slow is an option with this story. Maybe some of you like to watch the movie before reading the book…not I. I need [...]

Nora Roberts’ book two in the Bride Quartet, Bed Of Roses, doesn’t disappoint! If you have the time or inclination to go back and read my post on the first book, Vision In White, in the Bride Quartet, you will see that I loved it. My only complaint about Bed Of Roses, is that I wanted [...]

So, at times, quite often in fact, I can be Mrs. Procrastinator. I have received a couple of questions concerning my twitter account, and have failed to update you properly. I am simply, thebookwormcafe on twitter. Now, I know that that is what I should have been all along but what can I say…..actually not much, [...]

As a young girl, I read and fell in love with, Louisa May Alcott’s ” Little Women“.  Amongst my many Harlequin Romances that I have soaked up in the last couple of months, I decided to revisit the heart-warming story of the March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Set during the American Civil [...]
