It’s been two months, and counting, since COVID19 stuck its foot in the door and demanded our attention.

How are you holding up? Ready to turn the page?

I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m getting used to the new normal, but it no longer feels odd to keep my distance and wear a mask when I’m out.

Some of my creative energy has returned. I’m working on a new short story for Christmas featuring Emelynn, the heroine in The Gift Legacy series. Short stories suit my attention span of late.

I’ve also been doing a lot of reading

I know I’m not alone in that. Escapism has never been more appealing. If you’re looking for something to immerse yourself in, here are two of my favourites:

An oldie but goodie that I recently reread and still enjoyed is John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids. I read this in school and it’s stuck with me. Find it here on Goodreads.

Another of my favourite reads is Deborah Harkness’s A Discovery of Witches. LOVED this one. It’s $12.99, and worth every penny with +7,000 reviews! It’s the first in her All Souls Trilogy. The first two books have been made into a series, which I also loved. Read it twice; watched it twice. Can’t wait for the third instalment. Find it here on Goodreads.

Over to you. Have you got a favourite book you want to share? Post it in the comments below and let me know. I’m always looking for a new escape.
