Happy Sunday! Now begins week 6 of quarantine/self-isolation. Not much has happened this week other than the occasional walk outside, weekly trip to the grocery store or working from home. Excited for the day this ends and I can go home and see family/visit friends.

Happy Sunday! I think I’m out of my isolation reading slump. I’ve gotten back into the habit of reading before signing on to work and before bed. Not much else to update on outside of reading and working from home. Any one do any fun activities inside?

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya by Nagaru Tanigawa
Published on: June 6th, 2003 by Pamela Dorman Books
Goodreads | Amazon
Summary (from Goodreads):
Haruhi holds the fate of the universe in her hands; lucky for you she doesn’t know it!
Meet Haruhi—a cute, determined girl, starting high school in a city where nothing exciting happens and absolutely no one understands her.
Meet Kyon—the sarcastic guy who sits behind Haruhi in homeroom and the only boy Haruhi has ever opened up to. His fate is now tied to hers.
Meet the S.O.S. Brigade—an after-school club organized by Haruhi with a mission to seek out the extraordinary. Oh, and their second mission? Keeping Haruhi happy—because even though she doesn’t know it, Haruhi has the power to destroy the universe. Seriously.
Anyone else in a reading slump? I find I got most of my reading done while commuting to and from work each day and with the self isolation and working from home my reading came to a complete stop.
In order to ease myself back into binging books and getting sucked into fantastical worlds/stories I thought I would read the shortest 11 books currently on my owned and need to read TBR. Continue reading

Happy Sunday! It’s Sunday, right? The days of the week are blending together. I took about three weeks off from blogging this month. The only posts that were published were ones that had already been written and scheduled. I think the lack of blogging came from my lack of reading. I’ve been work from home now for just over three weeks and I think the lack of commuting put a damper on my reading. This weekend I gave myself a goal of reading a book and I finished The Secrets We Kept in one day! (spoiler)
Does anyone have any good books that got them out of a slump and back into reading?
March — the longest month ever. The days and weeks are blending together and the only way I know what day it is is when one of the podcasts I listen to do their weekly release. I haven’t read much this month. The first two months of the year hitting almost 20 and this month I only read 6. I’m hoping to add reading back into my weekly routine and finally start making a dent in the stack of books that I own and need to read.

Someone We Know by Shari Lapena
Published on: July 25th, 2019 by Pamela Dorman Books
Summary (from Goodreads): “This is a very difficult letter to write. I hope you will not hate us too much. . . My son broke into your home recently while you were out.”
In a quiet, leafy suburb in upstate New York, a teenager has been sneaking into houses–and into the owners’ computers as well–learning their secrets, and maybe sharing some of them, too.
Who is he, and what might he have uncovered? After two anonymous letters are received, whispers start to circulate, and suspicion mounts. And when a woman down the street is found murdered, the tension reaches the breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they’re telling? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their own secrets?
In this neighborhood, it’s not just the husbands and wives who play games. Here, everyone in the family has something to hide . . .
You never really know what people are capable of.
