First - I am so sorry for your loss. My family has experienced this in the past two years. Be so kind and gentle to yourself.

Second - sometimes what helped me in my reading was to get totally far away from what I usually read (heavier lit fic). So I read Project Hail Mary (genre) and things like Four Aunties and a Wedding and Arsenic and Adobo and House on the Cerulean Sea. On the warmer side, I can’t recommend Stanley Tucci’s Taste enough. The stories of his family and good food are so personal and lovely. It’s wonderful on audio.

Sending love and healing.

84 Charring Cross. I gave this book to my mom. She had been in a reading slump. I didn’t know that. But this book made her laugh. Got her out of her slump. We read books, and traded suggestions. She died 10/26/20, cancer. This book and her happiness bring me joy
