*The week in review on my channel:*
Zooming In: These are our brains on books: Trevor & Shawn on the art and science of reading: https://youtu.be/zuuXjHobihE?sijidfECbsMMUuS450
I’m now going to put mystery guest webpages and books they’ve written near the bottom of my show notes, so you might better resist the temptation to peek. (This also means that books authored by mystery guests will not be in the regular book list or time stamps but in a separate section farther down.)
