LOL Too funny! But yes, it seems we read every book about sick people differently, these days. Somehow I missed the new Arlo Finch book. I so enjoyed books #1 and #2, so I'll have to hunt down a copy of book #3. Thanks for sharing, Michele!

I stopped trying around middle school, when he was churning through at least a book a day. Lots of good books here, and I'm with you with seeing things through a virus-lens -- no one in books knows about social distancing!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005286623073064886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-26815965835389663782020-04-01T10:47:54.631-07:002020-04-01T10:47:54.631-07:00I have been reading but actually writing reviews h...I have been reading but actually writing reviews has been tough. I finally posted my #IMWAYR today so feeling better now. I love Sergio Ruzzier's books so looking forward to One Mean Ant. I am eagerly awaiting to read What Lane. I am next on the list with #bookexcursion and hoping to receive it soon.

But yes, I feel bad for many things that aren't being celebrated the way they should because of the pandemic, but also I want everyone to STAY HOME. :) <br /><br />Happy reading this week :) Kelleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402368920655764307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-75806541093177451692020-03-31T19:35:06.713-07:002020-03-31T19:35:06.713-07:00My reading habits haven't actually changed muc...My reading habits haven't actually changed much with the pandemic. I did notice that many people are skipping excessively sad books right now, but I’ve been avoiding them since well before all this started! I just read and reviewed New Kid, so if What Lane? compares well to it, then it is a must-read!

I was especially happy about the Mindy Kim series since my granddaughter is half Korean. <br />Reading is harder, and I don't want anything to intense these days. I am really appreciating audio books that I can listen to when I go out for walks.

It is a very short book that packs a lot in. I had previously marked One Mean Ant as to-read and totally forgot, thanks for the reminders. I loved your comments about how we are reading books differently right now, and also share your thoughts on cancelling vacations right now. Tough but necessary. We are looking at a lot of vacation photos, a slideshow on the computer while it is in sleep mode. Makes us feel grateful for the trips we have had and we have a list of places to go back to when that is possible. Thanks for all the great shares, I never read the Jenny Han series either, but I had it when I worked at middle school. They did look like nice, light escapist reading that many are looking for.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04960920764884687750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-37676212717656048502020-03-30T10:02:15.378-07:002020-03-30T10:02:15.378-07:00I love reading about What Lane? & still need t...I love reading about What Lane? & still need to read Tight! I am scattered & trying to find some way to finish a task before I start a new one! This is a new kind of learning for all of us! Wishing you the best wishes, Michele.

But staying home protects everyone, so you made the right decision. Once this is all in the rearview mirror, we'll all be able to take trips and actually ENJOY them. Glad you can at least escape in the awesome books that you share each week. I'm going to have a mile-long list when my library reopens. Thanks for sharing and have a good week with your family.Jana The Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904621400925950938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-73395476851565606842020-03-30T05:26:25.187-07:002020-03-30T05:26:25.187-07:00I've read a lot less than I thought I would - ...I've read a lot less than I thought I would - concentrating isn't so easy right now. I'm keeping up with my blog and following others that are devoted to books because I need to keep some normalcy in my life. I'm still putting books I want to read on hold at the library, but who knows when they'll be up and running again!
