What to read during lockdown

With Covid-19 locking the world down for who knows how long. I thought it would be appropriate to write a blog post about books to read during lockdown!

Well let's start off with what I'm currently reading. I'm making my way through the Harry Potter series. Right now I'm reading Goblet of Fire. I'm also listening to Crescent City by Sarah J Maas on audible (more on that later). Finally as I'm about 30 weeks pregnant I'm also religiously reading What to Expect When Expecting.

During lockdown would be a great time to start a series! Its distracting, the longer the series the better, and it's something to fill your time! Here are some of my favourite series:

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas (7 books + 1 novella)

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas (3 books + 1 novella, another spinoff series coming 2021)

Harry Potter by JK Rowling (7 books, 1 screenplay, 1 spinoff series)

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout (2 books + 1 coming 2021, more coming out later)

The Folk of Air (Cruel Prince) by Holly Black (3 books + 1 novella, another novella coming soon)

The Selection by Kiera Cass (5 books + 4 novellas)

True Blood by Charlaine Harris (13 books)

That's just to name a few! I could go on and on, but those are attention captivating, and they take you on a journey into their world which is what everyone needs right now.

Another thing I wanted to talk about was Audiobooks! I got into reading them last summer with Kiera Cass' stand alone book called Siren. The reader was amazing, and it really gave me a sense of being there. Now while I LOVE the feel of a book in my hands, audiobooks really offer a new sense to reading! So if you are busy learning to make bread, doing puzzles, online yoga, or another quarantine things I encourage you to try an audiobook. I'm currently listening to Crescent City by Sarah J Maas and loving it.

I hope this list motivates you to pick up a book, series, or audiobook during lockdown to keep us all sane during these insane times.

Stay safe and stay healthy.
