Books in Review Q4 2020
This quarter was filled with some really amazing reads that I hope some of you pick up so you can talk to me about them (even though I actually forget 90% of what I read after I finish the book). There’s some fluff in here, too, for good measure. In order of finishing, not recommendation: […]
