The Road So Far (4)
Hey all, Dani here. I’m on my fourth year of doing this annual post! You can check out my posts for 2016, 2017 and 2018 here. Today also happens to my Mousai Books’ Blogaversary. I posted my first blog post on this day back in 2016, which feels so long ago even though it was only… Continue reading The Road So Far (4)
Best Books of the Decade
Hey all, Dani here. I've seen a lot of blog posts and YouTube videos of people talking about their favorite books of the past decade (2010-2019), and it seemed like a fun idea, so why not do a post about so of my favorite books from the last decade. The problem was figuring out how… Continue reading Best Books of the Decade
Calendar Girls: January 2020
Hey all, Dani here. Hello everyone, and welcome to a very early post for me. Clearly as this post goes live I'm in bed, but I wanted to make sure this post was up for all of my fellow Calendar Girls, so here we are.

Discussion: Readathons
Hey all, Dani here. Welcome, once more, to Friday.

Discussion: Blogging Process
Hey all, Dani here. It's time for another discussion post. And I actually came up with the idea for this one a few weeks ago when I was starting to do my planning for my October posts. I realize that we all go about the blogging process a bit differently, in terms of planning, generating… Continue reading Discussion: Blogging Process
Discussion: Book Censorship
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
Discussion: DNFing Books
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. First up, just in case you don't know, DNF stands for Did Not Finish. This is a topic I have seen discussed all over the book… Continue reading Discussion: DNFing Books
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
Discussion: Book Buying Habits
Hey all, Dani here. Let's spend today talking about buying books, because well...I've had book buying stuck in my mind for a little while now, so it seems like an appropriate topic. Also, everywhere I turn online I'm being reminded of the current and upcoming sales at places like Barnes & Noble. For example, right… Continue reading Discussion: Book Buying Habits
