If you know what NAMI is you can imagine the hard time my wife and I are having with our youngest, who turns out has BPD. They are med non compliant as is their partner the best we can tell.

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, and I Hate You - Don’t Leave Me would all have made the top list if I didn’t have an arbitrary limit of only two top books a month.

That said most of the books I read in February I loved. For the complete list:

      I’ve looked at it but decided against it. Not that it’s bad but it doesn’t track nearly enough of the data I use and then I’d have to port some of the data over and it’s just not worth the hassle to me.
