News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly.
Thanks to everyone who contributed. We had some very good posts this week, led once again by @denlillaapan, who contributed the top two. I sometimes forget how much I enjoy going back to re-read the top posts and hunt for a few gems I missed.
Reminder: For the time being I will zap the top post half the rewards I receive before the next week’s issue, rather than split zaps into cowboy credits.
Happy reading!
.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
