August 2020 in Retrospect: What I Read/Listened to/Wrote About

In a nutshell: 27 books, 7,415+ (one book of I’m guessing 200+ pages was an Audible Original, so I don’t have a solid page count), and an average of 4 (there are four books I’m still deciding on tho, so that average can really change). Didn’t write as much as I wanted to, but more than I feared I would. A busy month, and a good one.

So, here’s what happened here in August in a bit more detail.
