It’s been a while since I’ve done a book review. Like a long while. But this pandemic is certainly a time to start doing new/old things, so here I am, bringing you a review of a book that is both something that we are all too familiar with and at the same time, takes us… Continue reading Letters From Planet Corona Review
I had to say “no” to writing this blog post yesterday (I strongly prefer to write my posts on Sunday, that way they come out bright and early Monday morning) because there was just too much going on.
