Hey all, Dani here. I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle of late nights and very long and busy days. So yesterday Damian and I worked our usual 10 hour shift, went home and finished packing, drove three hours to Cincinnati, and then ended up working on booth setup at Cincinnati Comic Expo for… Continue reading Discussion: Book Censorship

Hey all, Dani here. Wow, this is such a timely topic for me, because I actually just DNF'd a book this morning. So, I guess let's talk about that.

Weekend Writer: Beginnings and Endings, or Chapter Three of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into by doing my Weekend Writer posts this way. For those first couple of chapters it was like 30-40 pages, so not that much material to cover. Well, hello chapter three, thank you for changing all of that for me. Yes, this chapter… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Beginnings and Endings, or Chapter Three of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer

Hey all, Dani here. There are many reasons to re-read a book. Sometimes it's an old favorite, or perhaps it's one that you slogged through because you weren't in the mood and you feel like giving the book another chance now that you're in the right mood. Maybe it was a book you *had* to… Continue reading Discussion: Rereading Books
