Published on January 30, 2023September 20, 2026 by Celeste4 Comments

Today’s review is about BOOKWORM by Robin Yeatman, a debut dark comedy about imagination and the alleged dangers of reading. Don’t let the seemingly jovial cover art fool you, though. BOOKWORM just might validate that women are free thinkers and reading does give them ideas.
