The Ghost Who Ate Chocolate

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2025/10/30

We are back into the spooky season with another ghost book, though this one is more sweet than scary! This month's book is the first in the Black Cat Club series, "The Ghost Who Ate Chocolate", by Susan Saunders. It's a quick read, and features a ghost in a library which is always fun. We also talked about ghosts and other books briefly, with Marie sharing her own ghost story! Music: Fly Faster Chicken by Alexander Nakarada | //www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by

Where the Red Fern Grows

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2025/10/02

This episode was a bit delayed due to illness, but we still need the tissues! Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls is a childhood classic yet deeply moving. Whether you read it as a child, or have just now picked up the book (like our recovering book worm Marie), this episode we dive into the Ozarks with the sweetest dogs ever.Music: Fly Faster Chicken by Alexander Nakarada | //www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by //www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0

Magic Tree House Merlin Missions

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2025/08/28

We are taking our Master Librarian cards and proving ourselves to the one and only Merlin in the last installment of our Summer Series! We are looking at the Merlin Mission series of the Magic Tree House, which are a bit longer for older readers but still full of historical events and scientific information. We (aka Karla) also answer some questions from previous quartets and new ones presented to us. Music: Fly Faster Chicken by Alexander Nakarada | //www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted

Magic Tree House Quartet 3

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2025/07/31

We are diving into the next quartet of the Magic Tree House series, and on a mission to become Master Librarians! As adults we definitely had some questions for Morgan but as kids we were on board for every task. This series really exemplifies learning while reading, and this quartet especially feels like Mary Pope Osbourne found her stride with writing these books.

Magic Tree House Quartet 1

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2025/05/29

Happy summer to all! We are going on our first adventures with the Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osbourne, and there are so many books involved! This series is a classic for 90s kids for a reason. We got a few facts wrong at the beginning, but that didn’t change our enjoyment of the books and the characters.

Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2025/04/30

3...2...1...and we are off! Join us as we read the scifi classic Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet by Eleanor Cameron. This story features a classic adventure of going to space, with a surprisingly quick turn around in all the action that happens. Don't forget the chicken though.

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2025/03/27

We jump into an old series (with a family legacy) with Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle by Betty MacDonald. This is another book we both read and loved, though reading it as grown-ups does present a different perspective. But we would still love to have tea with Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle in her upside down house!Music: Fly Faster Chicken by Alexander Nakarada | //www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by //www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY

Encyclopedia Brown: Boy Detective

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2025/02/27

We're taking up the mantle of crime solvers this week, and joining the boy detective to solve 10 cases in the first Encyclopedia Brown by Donald J. Sobol! We both read these as kids, with very different expectations of how to read an interactive case book. Mild spoilers for some of the mysteries, but we'll call it a hint system in case you also get stuck on the ones we did!

We are finishing our discussion of Little Women, or Good Wives as it was originally published. Join us three years after the first half of the book as the March sisters face new challenges that are still surprisingly relatable!

Little Women Part 1

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2024/12/26

For the holiday season we are going back to the 1800's with Louisa May Alcott's Little Women! We'll be reading the first part of the modern story, originally published as it's own volume. Despite this being the oldest book we've read, it still has a lot of value for modern readers, and is a thoroughly enjoyable read!

6th Grade Mutants Meet the Slime

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2024/11/21

We dive into a scifi-esque story about a couple of kids who develop superpowers! We read "6th Grade Mutants Meet the Slime" by Laura E. Williams. But the stakes aren't as high as modern superhero stories, making it a fun story with a good message about how good helping others is. Of course, now the question is which superpower is the best to have?

Howie Monroe and the Doghouse of Doom

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2024/09/19

We are picking up a lighter read that asks the question: What would happen if a dachshund puppy rewrote Harry Potter? Marie's pick tackles just that question, we we dive into the third book written by "Howie". This is a fun and quick read, with plenty of silliness and a surprising amount of literary advice.

The Magician's Nephew

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2024/08/08

We're hopping back to the before times, with an introduction to a familiar face and a few new ones!

The Horse and His Boy

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2024/07/25

We dive into book five of Narnia, The Horse and His Boy! This book takes place during the events of the first book, so we are time hopping back a bit as well as visiting a neigh-boring country. We didn't expect to have so much to cover with this one, but there were several interesting details we dug into!Music: Fly Faster Chicken by Alexander Nakarada | //www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by //www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY

Silver Chair

Tales from Childhood Bookworms ·

2024/07/11

We get a new cast of characters for the next book in Narnia with book 4, The Silver Chair. We went loner than planned for this book, despite it being one of Karla's least favorites. But as Scrubb and Pole learn, the journey is part of the adventure!

We are onto the next book in our Summer Series, Voyage of the Dawn Treader! In book three of the Chronicles of Narnia, we set sail with the crew to explore some pretty fun islands (mostly). And discover the true hero of the story is Reepicheep, at least according to Karla!
