Back when the coronavirus was considered a global emergency and lockdown was in order, I found myself having to change my library items from physical pick-ups to digital on Kindle. One of them was Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan.

It’s a contemporary about a woman, as the title suggests, opening a new bakery in a town she’s moved into. Along the way, she finds herself taking care of an injured bird and getting close to a beekeeper. I found it being the light read I definitely needed at the time.

If you had one, what was it? I noticed that House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune was often cited as one on BookTube.

    During the peak of quarantine I spent a week reading the fan translation of Mo Dao Zu Shi. It’s not exactly a comforting story but I got so sucked into the story that I could hardly think about what was happening outside. Spent the next few weeks reading the author’s other works.

      I watched The Untamed right before we went remote and then spent the first chunk of quarantine reading a LOT of danmei. Lan Zhan got me through!!
