Books

I've been reading a lot recently but at the beginning of the pandemic I hardly read anything. Reading took too much brain power. At the beginning, all I could do to stay sane was watch movies and TV shows that could help me forget what was happening in the crazy world. It was a stressful time (and it still is stressful but in a different way). 

Now, though, I can't stop reading and I love it! Here's a list of books and the ratings I gave them (on goodreads) that I've read or listened to since the pandemic started. (Ratings are out of 5 stars).
