Getting my newspaper today was a bit of a trip, but what a bounty of items!
1) For the word nerds, a column on correct usage of the comma around porque and pero (syntax differs between tongues!);
2) #OnlyInColombia: Colombia sits down with one of the dominant guerrilla groups here, ELN, to talk economics and peace (because the two are always related);
3) Mpox in Colombia: only two active cases! Stayin' sharp!
And...
4) Book fair a-coming! September 6-15! π₯³ Who's comin' with? π
@MLClark Came across "Blind Date with a Book" a couple years ago in DC. A vendor had used books wrapped up in brown paper. Each book had a label describing its genre and general subject material That was it. No title. No author.

It's a testament to how much folks love an added thrill in their reading, that the concept has a warm place in your thoughts!
Book culture for me has changed since I left Canada; I went from having a large library to the few volumes I brought with me, and the very rare new read, always in Spanish, when I've finished my last.
Most of my reading is for reviews, and the rare other English book is an e-read, too. Material holdings are few these days. Just a different phase of life!
