Let's READ

Books haven't stopped being written or published because of the global pandemic we're experiencing (thank goodness!). People across the planet are being forced to adjust in ways we never imagined, and the writing and publishing community is no exception. Books that were expected to launch with grand (or not so grand) aplomb are being released with a fizzle. And because our libraries are closed, there is even greater reason and necessity to support these industries.
We can help booksellers, publishers and writers by continuing to buy and read.

What I'm currently reading (published March 20, 2020):

Books that just came out and are already in my pile:
