What I’m Reading - 8/24/25
Guess who forgot her laptop in DC in her rush to get to the shore? This gal. Kinda screwed up my plans to keep book editing part of this weekend, but it’s probably a sign I needed the break.
I’m ready for Fall. It’s always the sign of a good vacation or slow period when you’re ready for things to get back to normal. But until then I’m enjoying the last few days before Labor Day!
Have a great Sunday.
