Friday Reads: Dipping into books


*The week in review on my channel:*

Zooming In: These are our brains on books: Trevor & Shawn on the art and science of reading: youtu.be/zuuXjHobihE?si=jidfECbsMMUuS450


I’m now going to put mystery guest webpages and books they’ve written near the bottom of my show notes, so you might better resist the temptation to peek. 😜 (This also means that books authored by mystery guests will not be in the regular book list or time stamps but in a separate section farther down.)


Should you wish, *support me on Patreon*: patreon.com/user?u=75826765
