Last year I only wrote one post about the books I had read. It was a pretty long post highlighting a few of my favorite reads from the first half of the year. I never did write about the second fifty of the year, but you can always check out my GoodReads situation to see … Continue reading 13 Books

I Don’t Buy Books
There are a lot of memes - especially in my bookish world - about people who just can’t stop buying books.
