Link Love

It's Friday, which means it's time for Link Love, where I share some of my favorite bookish articles and blogs from the past week. There are quite a few links I found interesting and worth sharing this week. I hope you find something here you enjoy and maybe to help you find some distraction from the current situation. Personally, I am struggling to concentrate on reading. I am making slow progress on The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, though I usually love the author, and have dipped into some poetry anthologies and audiobooks, which seem more manageable right now. Happy reading and stay well!
