Announcement from my friend Arlin…

Featured Visitor: Me
I never did one of these for myself and I’m a little low on writing inspiration… so, why not?

Amanda Graham is an instructor of Circumpolar Studies at Yukon College and the coordinator of the University of the Arctic programme there. She spends a significant percentage of her income on books so she doesn’t have to borrow books from libraries because they have this regrettable habit of insisting that they be returned.
Assuming that you’ve [...]
