Fortnightly* Update #20
Still a bit slow, but I plan on picking it back up with the end of the year coming. AKA back in January, when I signed up for a bunch of yearly challenges. Now I actually have to finish all of them. And I just signed up for another SOS BINGO. I may just go into book hibernation come December.
*I've decided to change this a bit to a bimonthly update, on the 1st and 15th of each month. But I'm keeping the name, since I really like the word fortnight.
