I'm confused by what your state has deemed essential, though. Salons, really? I mean, I know I want a haircut it's looking a bit crazy right now, but is it essential? Not so much. I know we need to get back out and try and get the economy going again, but I do question if politicians have thought it all through.

I enjoy sharing books with my mom, and use to with my grandma as well. It's a lot of fun bonding over authors and favorite reads. I really loved All I Ask and can't wait to see what you think of it. I'm nervous about things starting to reopen, but am glad that it's being done in slow phases where I live. Author events are so much fun, and it's awesome that the focus was on the book you just read :) <br /><br />Lindy@ A Bookish EscapeLindy Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037195934272974300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-67195509466146185922020-05-12T13:15:26.165-04:002020-05-12T13:15:26.165-04:00Same here, Suzanne.

I love talking to my mom about books.<br /><br />That Jennifer Weiner event sounds great.

I've gotten my MIL to read a few YA's but for the most part she's a snob and considers them light reads for when she doesn't want to read *real* books. lol<br /><br />I'm glad I don't live in FL during this. WA and nearby OR are taking a more measured approach. However, people are over it and opening things anyway. We had a woman cut the tape to a playground and promise kids cotton candy if they showed up. And, of course,t hey did.<br /><br />I would feel better about reopening (we can't stay home forever) if people wore masks, there was consistent testing and contact tracing - which is what the stay at home order was supposed to set us up to accomplish. <br /><br /><a href="http//www.fwiwreviews.net" rel="nofollow">Karen @ For What It's Worth</a>Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-73884836857617819432020-05-11T13:04:02.475-04:002020-05-11T13:04:02.475-04:00I agree, Rachel.
