The first page is no surprise but the second did surprise me given that it only just published four months ago. It seems a lot of people are curious about Pavlov; I’m glad they will have a better understanding of just how horribly he treated his dogs.
Overall, I was pleased to see a broad mix of fiction, nonfiction and poetry represented — along with a few essays and our growing compilation of EcoLit quotes.
Thanks for visiting this past year — we hope to see you in 2025 and beyond!
