Sometimes I think my reading life is a little all over the place. My tastes don’t fit a neat mold, and I’m definitely not always the “target reader” for the books I pick up. One shift I’ve made recently? Letting myself DNF books. Years ago, I would have pushed through no matter what. But now, […]

Once something’s on your mind, you start noticing it all around you. Like when you are deciding if you want a white car and discover that 80% of the cars […]
