This was a weird year for a lot of things, but it was also a weird year of reading for me. Like many others, I often struggled to find the focus or willpower to read much of the time, and when I did have enough of those, I often turned to comfort reads or books …
Well, everyone — we made it! We made it to the end of this looooong, hard, rollercoaster year. And while we literally have no clue about what surprises 2021 has in store for us, we at least have the promise of a fresh start, which is always hopeful in and of itself. For the past …
