Days are blurring into weeks, weeks into months. It’s like we’re stuck in limbo, wondering when life will return to normal . I keep coming back to reading because no matter what else is going on, reading is reassuring.
It’s also been a great time to re-watch some of my favorite movies, many of which are based on books. While I can’t tell you to visit your local library and check out the books listed below, I can guide you to their digital counterparts. There are many other books-turned-into-movies available through OverDrive, so be sure to visit www.fvrl.org to take a look. You might be able to start reading your favorite film today.
