Lots of reading for the Brave Writer Podcast this year. Just finished Tia Levings's incredible memoir (interviewing her this month) and am beginning Leslie Martino's The Joy of Slow for an August interview.

Meanwhile, my long-term readaloud of The Odyssey with Huck & Rilla chugs along. We are enjoying Emily Wilson's translation to pieces. Lots of delicious slow reads this year, with the teens & with online cohorts.
