Tea, Blankets, and Substack: My Winter Reading Stats (Because Why Not?)
A Lighthearted Look at My Winter Reading Habits—and Whether Anyone Cares.
While the rest of the world was basking in the summer sun, here in Aotearoa, we were wrapped up in blankets, sipping hot drinks, and—apparently—diving into endless Substack posts. So, while it wasn’t exactly a “Substack Summer” for us, my “Substack Winter” was just as productive.
So I thought I'd share. I'm not sure why or if this is good content at all, but I thought I’d share and test.
