Usually in leap years I change the day of my weekly book roundups at the very end of February. But I was on a transatlantic flight last night, so missed my Monday write-up yesterday, and I think I will just switch to Tuesdays two weeks earlier than I had planned. (Two transatlantic flights in a week are good for the booklog…)
