Hello and welcome back!
After seeing snow last week, I think I can finally be hopeful spring is here. It’s been in the 60s and 70s lately. My brother and his wife are visiting next month and he does not do well in anything 65 or below. However, spring in New England can be so hard to predict. I’ve had rainy, frigid Memorial Day weekends plenty of times. I told him to start making sacrifices to the ghost of Sam Adams or something to curry favor.
Other than that, is you’re typical not enough hours in the day for all my hobbies. At least my spouse is making me some birthday mac & cheese this weekend. The only time I get it is for Thanksgiving and leftovers last all of two seconds.

EC Spurlock sent in this link about the habits of super readers! What’s the most you’ve read in a year? For me, it was 212 titles and I was at the height of my depression.

A fantasy and dark lit bookstore is set to open up in Salem. There’s currently a Kickstarter running. I’m pretty excited for it!

There’s a book coming out about gamers in love (Levels of Love by Anabelle Stehl) and the game in the book Novel Haven was actually made and it’s on Steam! It’s free and I think it’s a neat tie-in extra.
…
Want a deep dive on the “We Buy Ugly Houses” people? I know I do.
