Since Romania instituted a general lockdown this week, I haven't really left the house. Not that I normally leave the house too much, nor that I can really leave the house even if I wanted to, because I managed to sprain my ankle, inside the house. But after

So, I have good news and bad news about my book reading habit in 2019. The good news is that I've read more Christian books than other kinds of books. The bad news is that I've read the least books ever in 2019: six. The interesting
