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.
Well for the first six months or so, I was only reading information about all of the new work guidelines. I was an HR manager consultant for about 75 small companies in a wide range of industries, so I was working hardcore about twelve hours a day, then would get on social media to advise friends and family as well. I went straight from that to full burnout. At that point everything I read gave me anxiety. Then until recently I could only do total fluff, including all of the Jenny Colgan books.
I’m sorry for your burnout. My spouse went through something similar as director of online learning for a college, and is still trying to recover.
