I'm grateful for this slow read. #BelovedFebruary
As we moved into the second week of #BelovedFebruary, let's do two things at once: ⓵ what stood out to you in this chapter AND ⓶ how is this book resonating with you overall this month?
What has this slow-read been like so far?
I'm grateful for this slow read. #BelovedFebruary

Run by Simon Haisell on Substack - he provides “summaries, background, footnotes & tangents to enrich your reading” - so far so good 👌
Anyone else?
