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.
The Splendid and Vile by Erik Larsson came out around then, all about the blitz in London. I found it strangely comforting to read about another place and time when the world had felt like ending. I remember relating a lot to peoples’ journal entries at the time.
On the other end of the spectrum I went thru an extended “royalty in disguise” romance novel period too. There are, maybe unsurprisingly, a lot of them :)
