In keeping with established tradition.

I have not spent much time reading over the last year. At least, I haven't spent much time reading books. So, I hardly finished any books this year: only six, and one of those is a pretty lightweight piece about a television show. I hope to spend more time reading next year.

There’s a new episode of Welcome to Night Vale tomorrow, everyone! Which means I’ve had two weeks to process the most recent one, and… here are the results of my processing it.
