We’re so back, baby. Three kids plus touring but not writing a book meant (comparatively) more time for reading. My book launch and my littlest baby being big enough to not travel with me synced up well, and meant I had plenty of flights with no one on my lap and quiet time with paper books. That meant for the first time since 2021 (one child, pregnant with the next, pandemic-ish, 117 books), I read more than 90 books in a year (95 books, 29,739 pages).
