New Year, New Me!
Okay, not really, but also maybe. We’ve definitely got a new look going here. It’s something I’d been thinking about for a little bit, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted the space to look like. It’s a lot like redesigning a room using your existing furniture. You get rid of the old worn out…

Two months later…
The past few months have been a little hectic. There’s been some change, some reversal, some purging. I had a moment during which I decided to get rid of all the books I wasn’t keeping or hadn’t read yet. The idea of revisiting over 100 books to talk about them before getting rid of them…
