Month two of 2017 is a wrap and I'm happy to report that by-and-large my reading mojo is returning. Whether that's due to better books coming out or the fact that I've doubled the amount of time I spend working out to keep myself mentally sound while trying to deal with the toxic levels of fear and absurdity in our government right now, who knows?
