Dear AN ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE THING by Hank Green: You’re awesome.
Dear An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green, Wow, I am so proud of you. See, I’ve been what they call a “Nerdfighter” for years.

5 Classics for January
In this series, I recommend five classics each month that remind me of that particular time of the year. January has many sides in my mind: it’s a bright new beginning, but it also means the continuation of the long New England winter.

Dear THE BOOKSHOP by Penelope Fitzgerald: You are a bittersweet circle

Looking Back at 2019
Every year for the past few years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) I’ve made one of these posts, and each year I’m even more surprised by how much can be packed into just twelve months. 2019 was an… interesting year.

In this series, I recommend five classics each month that remind me of that particular time of the year.
