Post from The CryptoNaturalist dated 7/22/22 We seldom admit the seductive comfort of hopelessness. It saves us from ambiguity. It has an answer for every question: "There's just no point." Hope, on the other hand, is messy. If it might all work out, then we have things to do. We must weather the possibility of happiness.

In this "one book per day for 20 days" challenge... Those 20 days don't have to be consecutive, right? 🙃 It's the end of the year and time is slipping through my fingers!

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh
