It’s been more than two years since the first Covid-19 lockdown, so today we thought we could chat about some hobbies we picked up during those strict lockdown days! We’re also admitting to what we did (and didn’t) keep up as the lockdown went on, and now that things are opening up a bit more. *Disclaimer: we know Covid isn’t over, and we’re still wearing our masks, getting tested regularly, etc.! Then, enjoy some book talk. Today we have: investigative nonfiction and a couple of tense thrillers! Thank you so, so much for listening!
