Another week done; another week isolated.
After being cooped up in the house for so long, I have caught a case of Cabin fever. I feel like I’m going insane and have been trying to occupy my time with new projects. But here’s the thing, I have schoolwork I could do, but for some reason I would rather waste time lying on the couch complaining about having nothing to do instead of being productive with my homework. Some good news though, as one of my new projects was to de-clutter my bedroom, I found 4 old Barnes and Noble gift-cards that haven't been used in my desk. This is because, being the only English nerd in my extended family, a Barnes and Noble gift-card is a staple present on holidays. I’m not complaining though! This means that for the past day I have been scouring Barnes and Noble’s website and Goodreads to find any books to buy.
If anyone has any recommendations, please comment!!
Staying on the topic of Barnes and noble I saw an article in the PW Daily email talking about how over 400 Barnes and Noble franchises have closed in-store shopping. They have also closed all in-person events until April 30th, this virus has really been affecting businesses. I was kind of holding on to hope that this would be over by the beginning of April, but that doesn’t look like it is too likely anymore. The Library I work for back home has been shut down for two weeks now and I know that they are starting to make programs virtual, my boss has been filming virtual story times for little kids. Authors have been cancelling their book tours, and in the same email it said that all of the Big Five publishers have withdrawn from BookExpo and BookCon which take place in July.
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! Hopefully this situation will get better soon but it looks like things are continuing to be cancelled.
