First, I'm envious of your flip phone. I need to go back to one. It is very satisfying to flip it shut after a call lol. It is just not the same to press the end button on the phone after a heated phone call lol

Second, what a great video! I love the blurb telephone concept.

Hah awesome! Love this. Emergent reading is always a thing I can get behind.

These all sound so good. I have been getting more into Memoir lately and appreciate the list!

I’ve been meaning to pick up Laymon’s work and had no idea about him purchasing back the rights! Also love the idea of ideas “trapped in amber”. Loved the vlog as usual, I want to do my own blurb telephone!!

I recently read Agatha Christie’s biography and it was wonderful.
