A to Yuzz

“My alphabet starts with this letter called yuzz. It's the letter I use to spell yuzz-a-ma-tuzz. You'll be sort of surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond 'Z' and start poking around.” Dr. Seuss

For anyone who's ever asked about what I'm currently reading, a recommendation, or any question involving "a good book". Here you go.

I'm starting with what I've read this month. Eventually I'll log some of my favorites. I've found that the internets have taken over a good deal of my reading time. In efforts to curb that and to keep myself accountable for being mentally healthy, this blog has begun. I hope to be better at maintaining this...

Enjoy. Comment. Make requests.
