Like everyone should be doing right now, I am staying put and staying at home. (I hope that, unless your job is an essential one, you are doing the same, because that's the most important thing to do right now.)

Reader’s Life – Getting the reading mojo back
Over the last four days, I have been slumping. The inactivity caused by the confinement was slowly driving me bonkers and everything suffered: my mood, my sleep, my optimism, and even my reading habits.

I said a one-day break,... Continue Reading →
