You know you have reached peak boredom when even Netflix has lost its luster. There is only so many hours of rewatching The Office a person can do without completely morphing into a self-loathing quarantine monster. So, if you’re looking for something new to tick-tock the time away, check out these ten entertaining reads.
1.) “Deacon King Kong: A Novel” by James McBride
2.) “Becoming” by Michelle Obama
3.) “The Dutch House” by Ann Patchett
4.) “Educated” by Tara Westover
5.) “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone” by J.K. Rowling
6.) “Normal People” by Sally Rooney
7.) “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed” by Lori Gottlieb
8.) “The Testaments: The Sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood
9.) “The Water Dancer” by Ta-Nehisi Coates
10.) “Olive, Again” by Elizabeth Strout
P.S. Regular readers have been found to have lower stress levels, higher self-esteem, and lower rates of depression than non-readers, so crack open a book and kick those quarantine blues to the curb!
