Happy New Year! I know it's the fourth, but I was celebrating with family and friends and am just now getting back in the swing of things. A big project that took up a lot of my time in 2015 is winding down, so I'm hoping to have more posts in addition to link posts here for you in 2016. (I know, I know, it's 2016 and I'm saying I'm going to BLOG MORE, sheesh.) I'm not sure exactly what this will look like yet - please let me know if there are things you want to read about (or not) - but one thing I'll definitely add this year is a running list of the books I've read, with at least a few thoughts on each one, if not full-fledged reviews. Look for the first of those posts later today.
A few people have asked me recently if there's a way they can support this blog and specifically the link posts financially, and I'm looking into options for that. But don't worry - it will be completely optional and your reading experience won't change based on whether you pay or not.
Okay, on to the links!
