Hey all, Dani here. Well, we've finally made it to Friday. This has felt like a v-e-r-y-l-o-n-g-w-e-e-k, at least to me. By the time I finish my shift tonight I will have worked 52 hours this week, which has left very little time for anything that I can't accomplish while at work--you know, so I've… Continue reading Recommendations: Wintery Atmosphere

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

Goals for 2020
Hey all, Dani here. Since we are now in the early days of the year, I suppose it is time to make some resolutions.

Review: The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith
