Hi everyone, apologies for the lack of updates. I have decided to take a longer break, for my mental health sake. I'm okay, and the comic will continue after this break, I just need some time of proper rest. Thank you everyone for your continued support!

Hey, everyone! I've been sick for a few days and I'm not feeling better today so unfortunately I will not have enough time to finish and post a page next week, therefore Bookwyrms starts its break now and will be back on the 5th of September. I'm really sorry about this. There's only so much I can predict : (

Hiya! Quick heads up that I'm going to be streaming in around 40 minutes (at 10pm UK time), in case anyone wants to come by! I'll be working on either comic pages or Suzzen's chapter cover. Have a nice end of the weekend! <3

Dear all! Tomorrow the Bookwyrms break was supposed to end, but two unexpected things happened during this off time: I was temporarily changed to do a longer shift at my day job, and I moved to a new home. Technically, I am still in the process of moving and I won’t be living in my new home until this weekend, when the phase of getting things out of boxes (things like my desktop and cintiq) and life back to normal will begin. Why am I explaining all this? Because even if I have tried my very best, I haven’t been able to create a buffer of pages in the last weeks. Good news is, I have written a lot of script and the process of editing the text for the printed version of the comic is going very well. Bad news is, realistically, I won’t be able to post a page until Thursday 17th of May.

Because I’m not sure how fast I will be able to work in the next weeks while this shift lasts, I can’t say for sure if I will be able to post every week so on the 17th I will let you know if I will be doing a 1 page per week schedule or a 1 page every other week schedule. I really don’t want to keep the break open, so I’ll do one of those two. Hopefully it will be 1 page a week straight away, but if it’s 1 page every other week I expect it to go back to the normal schedule very soon. I just want to be on the safe side.

Other than that, I hope you are all well and I miss posting and reading your comments and DRAWING (I miss drawing so much it hurts </3) But this Sunday hopefully I’ll be able to use my cintiq again! Thank you all for your patience!

Lorena Simbelmina creator May 20, 2018
Yes! :D I'm still going to have a few weeks with little time to draw but that's just because I had planned for a couple of long weekend trips with friends long ago (which I'm very much looking forward to, haha!) But other than that, everything's back to normal and I'm drawing a lot again these days, yay!

Heey. I'm sorry to say this, but my energy's at its lowest (fighting a nasty cold/flu/whatever it is) so I won't be able to update Bookwyrms today. I really hope I can do so tomorrow.

Happy Sunday everyone! Just wanted to share the joy about Bookwyrms' 2nd anniversary! The draw is on and you can find posts to share on twitter and tumblr (facebook's post will go up in a couple of hours!) if you want to take part in the event.

Also there's the new support wallpaper, including some mysterious figures whose identity you may or may not guess! :D Check it out here: gum.co/iKXvh

Hello, hello! This message has two goals: to serve as a reminder that there's no page today (chapter break week) AND to ask you what kinds of things you would enjoy as reward for a raffle I am -finally- organising to thank tippers! I thought of avatar and banner designs but would love to hear your input about it! Have a great rest of the week :)

Today is World Book Day in my country of origin (and in a few others!). I thought it was a nice excuse to draw these little librarians enjoying their reading :)

PS. It was also good practise for their new outfits!
