Hey there! It's a new year! Haven't been regular in posting my book reviews and I'm still not motivated enough to sit down and get anything done. In the mean time, making this list felt less of a daunting task, so here we are. A summary of my 2023 (finally uploaded at the end of …
2022 year review
Hey there! Happy new year! I’ve been quite busy over the past month or so as I’ve started a new job and the new schedule has taken some time to get used to. It’s gotten a bit better over the last week so this should be the start of a more regular weekly round-up newsletter. …

Audiobooks – To listen or not to listen?
