Finding it hard to get into anything

I am finding it so hard to get into anything recently. I've been dipping back into my pool of books I've loved.

There is so much going on in the world. COVID symptoms can last 4-6 months people. Which means I'm only a month and a half in. My town is opening back up and I'm just not ready. We don't go anywhere other than parks and to the grocery store. You might think it's silly because it hasn't affected you, but all of this is real. And it sucks. And it's dangerous. It's not like the flu that you get over in a week. It lasts and lasts and lasts, like an autoimmune disease.

I recently started relistening to the Molly Harper Mystic Bayou series. It is so good. I can easily get lost in the world and characters.

I read so many new books in May. I think I just got tapped out.

Hoping you are all well.

A Simple Favor: Review

Let me start off by saying this...I don't often read thrillers. Why? I have an overactive imagination and a third degree black belt. I'm not the kind of person who needs to feel freaked out or that something is watching me. Also, why I don't do haunted houses. A Simple Favor is one of those books that you can't put down once you pick it up. It sucks you in and you just have to know how the story ends. I'm normally a pretty vocal reader- I'll laugh out loud at things that are funny, but I said a LOT of bad words while reading this book. There were so many WTF?! moments. I started reading it last night and had to put it down for the night and read something lighthearted(thanks Mutts comics) before bed. I picked it up again this morning, read for 2 hours before work, and finished it on my lunch break. Wow. The story loops and pulls and wraps you in it so tightly that you won't know who the bad guy really is or if the whole story is just a delusi...

Top 3 Books of the Year

There is a great post on Goodreads right now about the Goodreads Team's Top 3 Reads of the Year. I love posts like that because they are so personal. Everyone loves different things for different reasons. Some of the top books are books that were written decades ago, but are new to the reader. I love those. My Top 3 Books of the Year are: -Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Mass -Only Human by Sylvain Nuevel -The Loose Ends list by Carrie Firestone What are your top 3 reads of the year? What makes you choose a book as one of your top 3 reads of the year? For me: 1. Made me think 2. Made me feel 3. Put me in the character's shoes 4. Taught/ reminded me of a valuable lesson
