As Christmas nears, I’ve been struggling with what to write. I want book-related content, but I also want something besides book lists and gifts. What I ultimately want is time. Quality time to spend cozied-up in a chair with a good book or twelve. The...
I started writing this post stating the definition of mortal. But it was so absurd that I scratched what I had written and started over. Other than saying what mortal means, the end of the definition said, “not immortal,” well, no sh*t. On that fine...
