February Reading Wrap-Up

So I wrote this post just before February ended. And yet. I still couldn't get it posted in time. Because I'm just that organized. Well, an attempt was made at least.

Another month down and February was quite an eventful month. Or I guess there was really one main thing, that is starting a new job, but that's a big thing and since I hadn't started a new job in over a decade, CHANGES. I mean, there were changes at the old job, but it was the same company and even when I changed departments it wasn't like changing jobs.

I expect my audiobook consumption to increase even more than it has over the last few months. Previously, my old commute afforded me lots of time to read while on the train. Now that I am driving to work, it really wouldn't be in anyone's best interest if I were reading a book, so I'll be listening instead.

In goblin news, he's 7 months and that is crazy to me. I mean, I get how time works and such but still.
