Books for a Quiet Day at Home – Quarterly Round-Up, Pandemic Style

I sometimes say to my children when they are telling me about their woes, “Oh, the world.”

In the midst of this unsettling time, I find myself saying “oh, the world” to myself more and more. The beautiful world, so interconnected and vibrant and interesting, is now on hold at best, in grief, at worst.

Reading can only soothe us so far. And yet, if we are reading something something really engaging, we can actually feel better and more connected. This past quarter, bookclique bloggers read some incredible books and wrote some incredible reviews. Check them out here:
