I read 30 books in 2025 ๐Ÿ“š My yearly average is usually 2-3. The competitive Aries in me took over (it wasnโ€™t a competition, but itโ€™s always a competition).

Now making my way through the Booker Prize shortlist.

Overall recommendation: โ€œThe Rest of Our Livesโ€ by Ben Markovits โค๏ธ

Good for her. I saw the exhibition here in SF, and it was wonderful. Sorry, DC. Maybe in 2028.

Iโ€™m floored. 91.6% of my students passed the AP exam (107 of them took it). I had a great time teaching the course, and the students were so fun. I guess joy really is a good study tool :)
