Have you been reading more, or less, during this stay-at-home period?

  1. I've been reading more too. Loving my books and finding them a great distraction. I enjoy Jane Green's books so must have a look for the title above.

  2. Those covers cheer me up. Look at The Chef's Secret. And That Month in Tuscany. Fiction has not been working well for me, but I think I am going to look for those. I could use some escapist fiction, escaping into travel or food stories.

    I feel like I am spending too much time in nonproductive activities. I feel inspired by reading others' posts, like yours, with your focus on reading. My comadre (my daughter-in-law's mother) is busily painting for the first time in forty years, and one of our blogging friends is writing a book, and here you are, reading like crazy. I need to focus!

    Please have a safe week!

  5. They all look appealing, and it seems like a good variety.
    I’ve been reading a little less with the kids home 24/7 sadly.

  17. My reading has been very up and down. Some days I'm just too distracted. I like the variety of genres you've been reading.

  18. I went through a reading slump at the beginning of the quarantine, but I'm back in the swing again. It helps that I set aside 1 hour for my kids and I to all read silently together.
