What am I reading?
The below is all of the same from last week. I got sidetracked with a lot of work and books I’m still behind on reading and reviewing for colleagues, and so I’m hoping to wrap up the below this week. These are my readings for enjoyment. I’m also listening to a few on audiobook.

I’m re-reading The Creative Act by Rick Rubin
Social Media
Given I have a lot I’m working on (see above all of those books I mentioned above!) I’m trying to be on social media way less, and reading and writing and living in the real world way more.
I’ll post updates on my socials as they come.
