I read quite a bit, often following several series at once. I’ve been keeping up with four separate series whose writers have been kind enough to be on quite fast release schedules.

It’s been a rough two weeks without Lacey. I’ve been watching the house and yard the best I can, but it’s not as fun as it used to be. I was caught under the house again. Lacey used to cover for me, and I’d be back out before they noticed. But not anymore. I haven’t…
