Well, it’s been quite a year! Personally I’ve gotten another new job (hoping this one sticks), became President of our local Toastmasters club, joined a program advisory board for a local university and have a ton a new friends and colleagues.

Equally so the Bookworm (my alter ego) has been busy herself. Below you’ll see some of the top posts from 2015. Feel free to browse, read and respond.

Bookworm is the reading hippy who uses books to escape reality and take far out trips. In the afterglow of her trips, Bookworm is always struck with enlightenment from what she has just read. She sees how modern literature is influencing cultures, society and even future histories. If you dig it, stay tuned as Bookworm shares her thoughts and ponderings related to the books she’s reading.
