Thank you so much! I have always been writing, my whole life. I started with English, then I moved to my home language (Afrikaans) and now with Hive and my PhD, I am back to English.
So true, it is sometimes bewildering just how much there is out there. Doing my PhD, I am reading 2-4 articles per day, and this is not even touching the vast amount of literature there is on my topic. So much goes unread in life, which is sad because spend so much time producing those works.
For sure, I know this to be true! I will make a post about the books we bought, they will arrive in a couple of weeks time, I think. Thank you so much again, you really gave us the best Christmas present, as books are really expensive and we used most of our expendable income on gifts for family and not on ourselves.
