    Best Books of 2018

    Welcome one, welcome all, to the downright obligatory Best Books of 2018.

  • Blogmas Reflection & Happy Holidays

    I could make this a long post, or I could keep it simple. I’ll try for brevity, for once. If you haven’t gathered, I’ve been trying to bring a little Blogmas spirit to the blog since the start of the month and I’m slightly surprised I managed to keep it going until today, Christmas Eve.…
