Friday Link Love 02/29
This is a special day, not only because it is Friday (and isn’t every Friday special?), but also because it happens to be Leap Day! The next time that Leap Day falls on a Friday won’t be until 2036 – if my calculations are correct (source). And yes, Brad’s Reader will be around to celebrate the next Leap Day Friday too.
Like every Friday, the following are links I have gathered from around the internet throughout the week. Some links are about writing and literature, some obviously are not. As always, have a relaxing and safe weekend!
