September’s “Best” Lists – There Are Now 2,193 Of Them!
Here’s my regular round-up of new “The Best…” lists I posted this month (you can see all 2,193 of them categorized here).
With the beginning of distance learning, I was only able to post one new one.
Fortunately or unfortunately, though, it’s almost time for me to start compiling the “Best of 2020,” so there will be about thirty more coming down the pike over the next three months!
