Bookish and Not So Bookish Thoughts: COVID-19




Hi Everyone,

Thought I would pop in on this Thursday with some bookish and not bookish thoughts. The world around us is experiencing some uncertainty. 

I hope that this finds you safe, healthy, and able to take care of yourselves.  In light of that, I thought I would share a few things that have helped me throughout this time and may be of interest. 

1) Of course Books! There are lots of ways to get books to read.  My favorite is my local Overdrive Account from my library. I realize not everyone has access to a library thought so I thought I would share a few other sources for books- https://openlibrary.org/  and https://stories.audible.com/start-listen

2) Book related content-I have learned to love Elephant and Piggy from the eyes of my nieces. Each day at lunch Mo Williems has been doing a video doodle. Follow along on Youtube.

3) Iheartradio.com. This is great for tunes, but also for Podcasts. Personally, I have found I really enjoy breaking it up with a good podcast. Let me know your favorites! 

4) Carmen Sandiego content. First, I love this series. I love that they further made lessons related to the content. https://www.carmensandiego.com/resources/


5) Smithsonian Discovery Lab and Podcasts. Our world is so vast and there is much to learn. Which is why I love this place. https://learninglab.si.edu/#sll-create

Bonus: I heard this on Good Morning America the other day-what is something that has always interested you? Why not take an hour and learn 5 new things about it. It can be anything music, comics, history, famous people...anything.

How are you staying busy during this time? How are you doing? Feel free to drop a line! 


(Note: None of these are paid/sponsored advertisements...just thoughts that I thought would be good and wanted to share for those that are looking for something to do.)
Happy Reading!
