I know that&#8217;s not the case elsewhere in the world (here&#8217;s one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ketto.org\/fundraiser\/mission-oxygen-helping-hospitals-to-save-lives\">charity<\/a> I&#8217;ve supported in India) so it&#8217;s very bittersweet. Both of my kids will be in school part-time starting this month, though, so I&#8217;m hoping for a little more time to devote to some of my blog items I&#8217;ve been neglecting.

For Goodreads, I&#8217;m up to 106 books out of my goal of 250 books, currently 23 (?!?!) books ahead of schedule.
