It's been a while since I posted and for that I'm sorry - although Rodham was wonderful, I have yet to complete a reviewable book (I've read the third book in a series and in my humble opinion, it's hard to review a book within a series because it has built upon the books that came before!). That being said, I'm finishing up the fourth of the series of books written by Elena Ferrante. She is the talented (and anonymous!) author of the Neapolitan Novels, a quartet of books written in Italian about two young women that come of age in Naples and how their lives progress through adulthood. I'm just about done in English. My mom got me the first one in Italian, so I will likely read a chapter a night in Italian starting when I'm done.
I'm also currently reading The Teenage Brain and Masterminds and Wingmen in the hopes that they will give me a better understanding of what the hell is going on in my (almost) teenager's brain. I mean, how do I have an almost thirteen year old!

The last few weeks have been increasingly intense as far as the social fabric of our country. We are at a turning point insofar as race relations and public health stuff. I'm not blind to it. I've accumulated some of my favorite links related to not just reading and books but about the things that are going on in the world today that hopefully can give everyone some insight. Please be kind to each other!
