I figured it was time to share what I’ve been reading latelyish. My peak reading time is now somewhere between 11pm and 4am. And there are now three TV-less nights a week in this house. So, there’s that, too. The Unseen World, Liz Moore – This book. This effing book. I identified with Ada more than I care to admit, and as such, did not want this to end. Ten big, fat, teary stars.

Part of the re-vamp of this blog will be me participating more regularly in memes, blog-hops and other social blogging projects that I like/make sense to me/want to share with others. One of those such things is Top Ten Tuesday from The Broke and The Bookish. Today’s list is Resolutions for 2016. I prefer the term goals. Let’s call them goals. See, they’re trees, um, goals.
