News Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
Sorry about the delay in getting out the newsletter. Vacation and the time zone changes set me back. There were a bunch of great posts while I was gone. This week the top two posts of the past fourteen days will share all of the sats.
This newsletter is getting a little long. I think it’s time for some consolidating. I would like to start by organizing the book reviews into their own posts by topic, author, etc. If anyone wishes to volunteer to organize a category or two, I’ll zap your post a few sats and it will earn a permanent place in the newsletter. Now that my daughter @moonbeetle has joined SN, maybe she’ll help out her dear old dad.
Happy reading!
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
