My reading and re-reading…
Just finished: Class Clown, The Memoirs of a Professional Wiseass by Dave Barry. Though this memoir doesn’t lean as heavily on humour as I had expected, Class Clown was still a funny, charming, and interesting look into the 77 years that have shaped Dave Barry into one of America’s most recognized humour writers. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Current re-read: Spark of the Everflame (again) by Penn Cole. Cole is running a guided re-read in anticipation of Burn of the Everflame which will be released in September and I am definitely participating as this one of my favourite series. Check out her website for how to join the discussion on discord, to see new fanart, find hidden hints and easter eggs (warning: the re-read posts and certain sections of discord are not a spoiler free zones!)
