2020 pulled a fast one by giving us an extra week of January. And man, was it brutal. To give you an idea: I spent this evening in an elementary school running boxes of Girl Scout cookies up flights of stairs while contemplating how epically the American math curriculum has failed us.

Here’s what you missed this week:

• Jami Attenberg and I definitely have the same sex dream. (Vox)
• Here’s a helpful lesson in how not to be that guy. (LitHub)
• I’d love to know what book is going to smell like summer in the city. (Electric Lit)
• As a lover of the British crime procedural, I’m ready to book my plane ticket and ignore everything in this post. (CrimeReads)

Cheers,
