Have you found that since we have started social distancing that you are reading more or less? This past weekend I definitely made an effort to immerse myself in a book. I also got outside a little and walked my dog while listening to a different book so I’d have to say I am reading just a tad bit more. What did I read? You’ll have to read below to find out!
This post originated over on Book Date, so thanks for the idea and letting me continue on the discussion.
JUST FINISHED

Synopsis:
From the author of Maybe in Another Life—named a PeopleMagazine pick—comes a breathtaking new love story about a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiancé who has finally brought her back to life.
In her twenties, Emma Blair marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse. They build a life for themselves, far away from the expectations of their parents and the people of their hometown in Massachusetts. They travel the world together, living life to the fullest and seizing every opportunity for adventure.
On their first wedding anniversary, Jesse is on a helicopter over the Pacific when it goes missing. Just like that, Jesse is gone forever.
Emma quits her job and moves home in an effort to put her life back together. Years later, now in her thirties, Emma runs into an old friend, Sam, and finds herself falling in love again. When Emma and Sam get engaged, it feels like Emma’s second chance at happiness.
That is, until Jesse is found. He’s alive, and he’s been trying all these years to come home to her. With a husband and a fiancé, Emma has to now figure out who she is and what she wants, while trying to protect the ones she loves.
Who is her one true love? What does it mean to love truly?
Emma knows she has to listen to her heart. She’s just not sure what it’s saying.

JUST STARTED

Synopsis:
A man of few words, Ranger Jay Daniels values the calm, quiet solitude of the Great Smoky Mountains. Never quite fitting in with either side of his family, he prefers the company of birds and trees to people.
Yeah, he’d most definitely prefer a bird—any bird, any bird at all, take a vulture for instance—to the human-tornado hybrid that just blew onto his peaceful stretch of the Appalachian Trail.
The path of true love never has run smooth for Olive Perry. After getting dumped and promptly abandoned in the middle of her multi-month hike, Olive swears off men. Determined to finish the long trek by herself, she doesn’t need a prince—or broody and taciturn ranger—to save her.
Yet, when an early snowstorm threatens the mountains, and Ranger Daniels is charged with getting hikers to safety, that includes hot-tempered Olive Perry. Snowed in and forced to share an abandoned cabin, can Olive’s heated intensity melt Jay’s cool reserve?
And if so, will this happy trail lead to true love? Or will their time together be just another bump in the road?
‘Happy Trail’ is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#1 in the Park Ranger series.

What are you reading while staying at home today?
Now that I’m a little calmer, I’ve been reading more. But it’s still hard to get a whole lot of time to read with my three young kids in the house…

I bet! I am lucky that I only have pets needing my attention. Remember to take a little time to yourself to decompress!

I didn’t understand what was happening in first few chapters. Now that I get it I’m enjoying it! I’m trying to cross genres and stuff so I don’t get sucked down any particular rabbit hole!

Aren’t audiobooks great? I did a little cooking yesterday and listened to a book while I did that too. I hope you’re enjoying your book!

For me the question is if I’m reading at all. I haven’t been reading as much as I thought I would during the quarantine. I keep finding things I feel like I need to do.

I am working from home and try really hard to not read, watch tv, etc. When I do have free time I actually find I’m drawn to mindlessly watch tv because I can zone out and de-stress. When I do read I am choosing light and fluffy books to also get away. It’s a weird time for sure!

I think I need to start doing that. We temporarily moved to India last year and during this time I would much rather be home in Slovenia, Europe.
