Six years ago we were told to pack up our laptops and work from home until further notice due to COVID-19. It’s hard to wrap my head around all the changes, flexes, and pivots I’ve made since then. D Train’s “Keep On” is today’s earworm.

They seemed more direct than rhetorical, almost like Lady Whistledown’s Dear Reader.
Okay, BlueSky hive mind readers: I have a question for you. In the last two books I’ve read, the first person narrator breaks the “fourth wall” and repeatedly asks the reader a question. Is this a new thing? #amreading #Booksky
