Yes to be honest I like to watch the news a fair bit or listen on the radio. It is big times really. Nothing like this has happened on this scale because our populations and travel is like it is today. Having technology helps to keep in touch which is great. We are only beginning our 4 week lock down, ask me in 4 weeks! I watched CNN one night just has a horror story about a NY family and I haven't been back there since. My own country is all I can take! Except here we hear about most countries on our news.Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581790816548017087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-63264667714764902872020-03-23T14:10:38.432-04:002020-03-23T14:10:38.432-04:00I've been reading and listening to a few cozy ...I've been reading and listening to a few cozy mysteries these past few weeks as a distraction, because I've been spending way too many hours scrolling through social media and reading about the coronavirus. My most recent one was Title Wave, part of the Booktown series by Lorna Barrett. It was set on a cruise to Bermuda, and I was going to read it on a cruise to Bermuda in April, but that trip is most likely not going to happen now!

I finally turned off my phone news notifications yesterday and started reading the old Laura Ingalls Wilder book, The Long Winter, and I was finally able to relax into a book. <br /><br />The strange thing about books has been that even though our libraries are closed I have been able to find any book I wanted to read either on Overdrive or Hoopla. <br /><br />Happy and You Know It is a title I'm adding to my list to read someday when life gets back to normal.<br /><br />Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-10963945503830048622020-03-22T06:46:05.425-04:002020-03-22T06:46:05.425-04:00I am rewatching Sherlock with the fam currently.
