September hasn’t been my best month, reading wise and beyond.
I had a successful month free of booze (hurrah), but I also had to start job hunting, which left less time to read than usual (not hurrah). However, I’m trying to see the whole palaver as an opportunity. On to bigger and better things…I hope.
But for now, let’s just get on with the stats…
