What I Read This Week: August 2, 2013
About What I Read This Week: I read a lot. All the time. Too much. I’d like to be held accountable. During my day-to-day, I keep a Google doc that I update with an article name, URL, and a quote of everything I read or watch. I blog the list every Friday.
It happened. I read only two handfuls of links this week. Here’s a theory—I quit social media on Monday for a week sabbatical. That and I’m focused on an Etsy shop update deadline, took two classes, and cooked quite a bit. What a welcome break for my brain! New for you—there’s a list of tv watched too, all compliments of Netflix.
