Are You Social Distancing? Book Recommendations to See You Through

Netflix move over, it’s reading time. If you’re self-isolating (or social distancing, as the cool kids call it these days), reading is a great way to escape, switch off, take a break from the constant stream of updates and – often misinformed – social posts, and disappear into another world for a bit.

Make yourself a cuppa, bake a tray of these delicious and nutritious cookies, and delve straight in.

It’s worth checking if any of your favourite bookstores delivers at home, the London Review Bookshop for instance takes orders via the phone, and it’s always important to try and support local independent businesses first. Otherwise, the Amazon Kindle App could be a lifesaver as it could be downloaded on both mobiles and tablets. Another convenient favourite that also has audiobooks – but a more limited book selection – is Scribd.

Stay safe, be kind and considerate.
