Rambling Thoughts: AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS! I will be singing about this book from all the library rooftops forevermore. Weekly posts are going to be focusing on some non-“programming” content for a while, as I don’t have as many programs to talk about since my work time is currently consumed by a bunch of other projects (but never fear, weekly book posts will continue, and there are some more program posts planned for a few weeks from now).
