End-Of-Week-Summary, Lent 2019 – Part 1

I gave up reading non-fiction for Lent… which slowly led to me not watching or listening to much non-fiction either. Since Sundays don’t count in the 40 days of Lent, I allow myself to catch-up on news and articles recommended by friends on Sundays and thought there would be so few that I could do a single end-of-Lent reading post. I’ve been squeezing a lot of reading in on those Sundays! Yikes! So, here is the Lenten reading summary – Part 1.
