Thanks for the January overview and reminder of what's on tap for the month. Seems like ages ago that I read your initial Roots and Wings post, and now 2026 is just about here. Also, I appreciate your advice about how to support writers and artists through a variety of approaches, such as buying their books, if one's paid subscriber budget is maxed out. Best wishes for 2026!
Nice presentation for the upcoming month! I want to say that I am incredibly impressed at how you put yourself out there in such a humble and thoughtful way. I would categorize you as an introvert, but you have so much to offer regarding your reading life, and your support of the community on Substack. Thank you for letting all of us into your world! I have decided to nurture my love of history in 2026 and your in-depth list of books is food for my journey! Happy January birthday. To you and to this community, best wishes for 2026!!!
Thanks Matthew! Lovely to be in such great company and thanks for the kind words. Yes, I hope to publish (and be) here more soon, too! I think it will happen…
Here's to a great new year! I recently tried for a copy of Exogenesis by Peco Gaskovski on inter-library loan, but could not get a copy; it is too popular at the libraries that have it, so they won't send it out for an extended loan. I would be very happy to get a copy from your generous offer.

Thank you so for the mention, Matthew! Glad to be on this list and I'm so glad Empress Editions found me: Here's what she has to say: https://substack.com/@alisajones/note/c-192886150?r=ls40v&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web
Matthew has also done a lovely review that appears on my website.
