Looking Ahead #5

A new year always brings along with it resolutions, but I think this project is a big enough undertaking that I don’t need to harness myself to another commitment. I did set a reading goal on Goodreads of 30 books, which is above my normal 24-books-a-year pace. We’ll see how that goes. Let’s jump in to the next look ahead where I’ll be updating you […]

Looking Ahead #3

The year is winding down, and I don’t think anyone will be particularly glum to see 2020 come to a close.

Let’s jump in to the next look ahead where I’ll be updating you on the book I’m currently reading, and answering these questions about the next […]
