I don't have a video for this week, I have to start recording my reviews for the first three novels of the Rougon-Macquart series. I will get on that ASAP. Until then, I thought I would try a live stream, see how it works and if it's something fun to do.
Hopefully a few people will be interested enough to show up and leave some comments for me!
And I feel so embarrassed that I somehow thought Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Argentina! I got a little tired at the end. Sorry, I feel so stupid about that!
