Fortnightly* Update #21
I've been reading a lot more and have picked back up the pace. It's a combination of getting back into making reading a priority, the SOS Bookshelf Bingo, and I need to finish up a bunch of yearly challenges...
*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.
