Reading is not a competition.

Thomas R. Howell 2025-06-20 | I'm a slow reader and I am okay with it. I know...I know...I am a broken record but, I don't think there is anything wrong with a friendly reminder. Maybe this video is just what someone needed. A bit of encouragement in this fast fast world.

Im starting a book club.

Thomas R. Howell 2025-05-16 | I have an announcement! I am starting a book club! No memberships. No discord. No patreon. We are keeping it simple. So how is this going to work?

-The last week of every month I will post a poll for 3 books to be voted on.

-The book that wins will be the book we read.

-Then we have a whole month to read that book.

-Ending the month with a livestream where we hang out and chat about the book we read!

-Rinse and repeat!
