What to read while in self-isolation.

Midnight at the Blackbird Café. (A feel-good novel)
     

A delightfully heart-warming novel. All the readers who love, hate, regret and long will relate to this story of hope and forgiveness. I'd move to the wonderful village of Wicklow in a heartbeat if I could.

A must-read for book worms. If you can, read it with a piece of fruit pie, it will make it even better.

Whiskey in a Teacup. (A novel about the joys of Southen living )

What can I say? I can't cook and I loved the book. I've never been to the south of the US and I'm willing to move there right now.
A lovely read with delightful pictures and heart-warming stories.

Red Tea (A mystery in a foreign country)

This novel is set in Japan, one of the most fascinating countries in the world because of its unique culture which the author describes in many parts of the book. If you love that country, this book is certainly for you and you will wish you had some green tea and a delicious onigiri to enjoy while you are reading.

Little Fires Everywhere. (A must-read before watching the TV show)

A very entertaining novel about the seemingly perfect life of an upper-middle-class American suburb. The author describes skillfully the ups and downs of the wealthy Richardson family and the struggling Warren mother and daughter.

Defy the Stars (A YA Sci-Fi/Romance novel)

Claudia Gray has written a beautiful novel about what means to be human and to have a soul. It may seem an ordinary sci-fi/romance YA novel but it's much more.

What makes this novel special, in my opinion, is the development of the characters, a human and a robot and their growth and evolution in the book. They question their beliefs and are able to make tough decisions.


The Little Book of Higge.(A novel to learn about another culture)

A good book to read right now. Although everything the author mentions is not possible at the moment,I think it will make you feel better at home.
