Hey all, Dani here. Greetings! I usually like to do these monthly wrap-ups on the first of the month, but I had a couple post office delays with the delivery of my OwlCrate and a Book Loft package, so I decided I would wait one more day since the shipment tracking said I would get… Continue reading April Wrap Up and May TBR

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

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

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
