With everything that is going on in the world right now with the Coronavirus, I decided to make a detour on what favorite thing I had planned to write about today. Even if you haven’t been confined to your house yet, it seems that you most likely will be in the near future. Schools are closing, events are being canceled, people are asked to telework, and everyone is being told to stay home. Well, I don’t know about you, but the thought of having to stay confined to my house for an extended period of time has me fearing for my sanity. I am certain that there will be a lot of binge watching and moving watching going on. However, you may start to feel like you want to stimulate your brain a little more, so I thought I would share some of my favorite books with you. It is a great opportunity for you to dive into a good book. If you prefer a real book to an ebook, I think that Amazon is still delivering (at least for now). Becoming enthralled in a book can certainly help save your sanity. I plan to do a lot of reading while I am stuck in the house. Up first for me is my book club pick for March, When Time Stopped by Ariana Neuman, since I haven’t started it yet.
I am a big fan of books in a series. I love the anticipation of the next book. My favorite author of all time is Karen Kingsbury. I have read so many of her books and there has never been one that I didn’t love. I also really like most books by Jodi Picoult and Kristen Hannah. Check out 20 books/series that I have read over the years and loved. Some will be very familiar to you and others you may have never heard of.
