I’m getting behind on these, but you’ll note that it doesn’t say 20 CONSECUTIVE days.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

After a few weeks of effort, I’ve achieved a 98 average skill on WordleBot. Only 99 remains.

It’s been a true joy to me that this piece I wrote some years ago continues to be relevant in the present. It’s on one of my very favourite themes in the whole liturgical year: the light of Christ dawning into the world’s shadows.
