Hey all, Dani here. Today is the start of Banned Books Week for 2020. Normally I have a big post talking about this event, and then I like to do recommendations posts and discussion posts and other stuff to highlight the importance of the freedom to read, and the issues of censorship that comes up,… Continue reading Banned Books Week 2020

Weekly Wrap-Up (72)
Hey all, Dani here. Okay, so this post is a little bit later than usual. We just got home from Damian's grandpa's funeral. It was a long day of driving and waiting and all the emotion and everything that goes along with saying goodbye to a family member. He had a pretty good life, he… Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up (72)
Weekly Wrap-Up (62)
Hey all, Dani here. Ugh, I am ready for the weekend...where I plan to be a bum and lounge around doing very little. I mean, aside from the usual reading, blogging, watching TV, and maybe a little video gaming. My body is one giant sore muscle, or at least it feels that way. Yuck. In… Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up (62)
Review: The Library Book by Susan Orlean
Hey all, Dani here. I originally intended to include this review during my National Library Week celebration on my blog. However, considering the date of the tragic fire that this book centers around, I thought it perhaps even more fitting to delay it a few days and have the post go up today. Work is… Continue reading Review: The Library Book by Susan Orlean
Review: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zavin
Hey all, Dani here. Hello and good afternoon everyone. When this post goes live I will be roughly 8 hours into Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon, and hopefully I'll have read a good number of books by then. Don't worry, I'll have my readathon wrap-up posted along with my Weekly Wrap-Up on Wednesday. Or, if you're… Continue reading Review: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zavin
Review: The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
Hey all, Dani here. I hope you are all having a lovely day. I'm actually hoping to get to bed at a decent hour tonight, because Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon starts for me tomorrow at 8am, and I want to try and read as much as possible during this readathon. But that also means that… Continue reading Review: The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
Discussion: Library Love
Hey all, Dani here. Good morning everyone. I'm feeling a little bit better than I was yesterday at/after work, but part of that was helped by spending an hour or so browsing the Barnes & Noble web site and looking over books that I want to buy. Oh, and then after I finish writing up… Continue reading Discussion: Library Love
Review: Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey
Hey all, Dani here. Today was not a good day at work, and it's because of this whole COVID-19 thing. Things only seem to be getting worse, and so many in the US are clamoring for everything to be opened up again. It is anxiety-inducing, especially worse when you are considered an essential employee and… Continue reading Review: Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey
Weekly Wrap-Up (61)
Hey all, Dani here. It is Wednesday once again, and I am so ready for the weekend already. I was sent to a new job rotation on Monday and I am working muscles that I haven't really worked in a long while, so I am sore and tired. Thankfully I just need to make it… Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up (61)
Review: Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron with Bret Witter
Hey all, Dani here. Today's review is a special one for me, especially during National Library Week. This is a book that I bought back during my undergraduate program, and it was a book club pick at my library, and I held on to my copy. Fast forward more than a decade later and I… Continue reading Review: Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron with Bret Witter
