Happy New Year . . . tomorrow.

Here are some things I've read so far this month or will be reading soon. A lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, expect a post on January 15. Also, just because I post something here does not mean I agree with it, it simply means it made me think and I think my readers might enjoy it.

I hope 2024 was good to you and I hope 2025 treats you well. Once again, I thank you for your continued readership over the years, and I always welcome your feedback.
