To Tend and Befriend, part 1

Posted on

It’s summertime for me now, and I’m gleefully starting my readings for Fall semester, which doesn’t start for another three or so months — this time I won’t get caught short on time! I’m going to try reading all the books that really interest me first, so I have plenty of time to ponder them….

This is, I think, a serious issue with most…

  1. Thanks so much to you both! I’m so thrilled it’s finally all done, completed, and uploaded — WHEW! :)
    Also, Ms. M, fair warning: the Methodology is probably skippable, while the Lit Review will be of interest mostly if you’re looking for other similar-subject books to read. The Intro, the actual research chapter, and the Conclusion, though, I hope will be fun and/or intriguing! :-D
