I thought I’d do an almonst-but-not-quite-mid-month reading update. Why? Because who doesn’t love reading stats. To recap, in January, I read a total of 48 books. February, I read 18 books.

Because the news has not been pleasant thus far, from who will be leading DOGE (and that’s not just a cryptocurrency), as well as the other … More Blanket Forts on Thanksgiving Eve
