we asked this on Twitter and Facebook and got a mix of responses...some readers are saying they just can't stay focused. I find that's true for a lot of us in lockdown. But some are doing just fine - even ahead of their reading goals! How are you doing?

"We’re lucky enough to be able to #WFH at Hachette. I’m trying to find new and different spaces to work in my small Brooklyn one bedroom apartment--today it’s the coffee table 💻.⁣ I’m currently reading ✨ #JoyAtWork ✨ by @MarieKondo and @scott.sonenshein. This book comes out April 7 and is helping me find some joy during these uncertain times and stay productive at work (now from home). ⁣ Other #TBR books for my new #socialdistancing #shelflife are:.⁣ 💗 I’m finishing up #HowtoPronounceKnife by Souvankham Thammavongsa, a new book of short stories that I fell in love with a few weeks back. (Highly recommend if you liked Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous).⁣ 📖 BIG BOOKS! With more time at home, I’m hoping to finally spend my days reading the books I keep putting off. Pachinko and The Luminaries are top of my list.⁣ 🏔️ @sunisacompass is also a great adventure travel story. Caroline’s story will take your breath away and make you long for nature. It’s the best way to experience Alaska from the safety of your own couch.⁣ ☕ Light reads like #WhenYouKantFigureItOutAskAPhilosopher can help ease anxiety with a little dose of levity…perfect for when the cabin fever sets in." – Jess from @littlebrownspark ⁣
