This is the back half of the dog days of summer, the stretch where the heat has settled in and everything feels a little slower than usual.
That’s not a bad thing for reading. Slower days tend to have more room in them, even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.
This week also wraps up Jeremiah and moves into Lamentations, with a quick handoff into Ezekiel by the end of the week. A few of the books are short, so the transitions come quickly. Don’t let that throw you off. You just read the next section, whatever book it happens to be in.
