You were smart to load up on library books. I actually popped into the library the last day it was open just to grab a book I’d put on hold. I didn’t see any signs saying it was closing the next day, but when I got home I had an email notifying me. Luckily, I have a lot of spring eARC’s to get through. Stay safe!

The only reason I finished three books last week is because the first two were almost finished as the week began. My reading is definitely slower and I find I’m up and down all the time, finding it hard to just settle into a story. It could be the books, but I think it’s me. Stay well!

Surreal is the perfect word to describe our current reality. I thought when they first cancelled schools that the online learning might still give me a little more reading tie. Maybe that will happen in the future, but this first week was insane. I worked way longer hours than I ever do normally and all that is screen time which I’m not used to so much of either. Fingers crossed things will settle down a little for all of us as we find routines and ways to make this work.

After last week, I’m beginning to wish I was retired. The first week was hard…really hard! Stay well.

Hopefully, anxiety levels will settle down soon and we can all get back to a little more focus in our reading. In the meantime, carry on and stay safe!

I’ll be curious to hear your final thoughts on The End of the Day. So far this year his book and The Glass Hotel, both books I was so highly anticipating, have been disappointments. Ah, well. Stay well, Jan.
