The Queue

I read Why We're Catholic as part of a Catholic YouTubers book club collaboration & I'm now reading The Defendant as part of a Catholic YouTubers book club collaboration.

I received Clueless in Galilee yesterday as a Christmas present. I hope to receive additional books as gifts once the extended family arrives later in the week & the Christmas gift-giving continues.

From Sunday 20 January thru Saturday, 20 April, some friends & I intend to put ourselves through Exodus 90, a ninety-day spiritual exercise, a period of prayer & asceticism which, among other disciplines, means refraining from watching T.V. & listening only to music that lifts the soul to God Almighty. What does that have to do with "The Queue"? My hope is that this period will result in much more reading.
