Reading List

Reading to me is a window into other worlds. This section will house my current favorite articles, books, podcasts, or newsletters I've read. Yes, I know podcasts don't count as reading, but I think they serve much of the same purpose as reading. These will not encompass all the articles and things I am reading, as the list might be tedious to scroll through. I will send out the full weekly list in my newsletters. Many of my favorite science fiction/fantasy books will be listed on the about me portion of my website.
