I’m still reading a way of kings by Brandon Sanderson. Really enjoying it. Half way through it. It’s one heck of a thick book. I’m a slow reader. ---

This might sound stupid, but the last year or so I have been reading teen and kid fiction. Stuff like the Harry Potter series and at the moment I am reading the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. I find that these books are easier to read because it feels like my attention span for reading has dropped as I age. ---

OMG that’s awesome. The cost is the only thing stopping me from consuming tons of them. I have a library within walking distance without having to cross any roads so I might go ask them in the next couple days about doing that. ---

Indeed. Initially 3 loaves. But once gone, she foraged for all sorts of things. Severe asceticism! Me I struggle to fast Wed/Fri throughout the year and during Fasting Seasons in general - and ultimately its not even a drip on the difficulty of what the Desert bunch did for years on end. Without complaint or concern. I get sad I have to eat vegan twice per week. Poor me 😆 all hail King Banjo who deserves better/more. ---
