Ed. note : This is clearly a current, ongoing, and difficult topic, and your feelings on reading books that include the COVID pandemic may be different. We want to remind folks that it’s ok to like very different things.
This Rec League was sent in by Anna:
I recently read Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld, which made me realize that reading a romance set during Covid, especially one that doesn’t sugarcoat lockdowns, could really help me cope with grief over everything that happened (privately and globally) during the pandemic. Could you recommend some?
Sarah : For something light and a little goofy, there’s always Chuck Tingle, who has two releases: My Handsome Sentient Face Mask Protects Me Despite the Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories That He Won’t Also He Pounds my Butt ( A ) and Not Pounded by Anything While I Practice Responsible Social Distancing . ( A )
Love Under Quarantine by Kylie Scott and Audrey Carlan ( A | BN )
Love in Lockdown by Chloe James ( A | BN | K )
Amanda : I’d also recommend the movie Locked Down , which combines a marriage in trouble, layoffs, and a heist.
Which books would you recommend? Let us know below!
