[close] Powering through 2016, one page at a time! We're using the PopSugar 2016 reading challenge as a guidepost for finding new and interesting reads this year: http://www.popsugar.com/love/Reading-Challenge-2016-39126431 As the year progresses, maybe we'll look at doing a book club-style all-of-us read to fit some of the categories, but mostly we'll be checking in with each other, offering recommendations (and support!) and sharing what we're reading and loving.
