Book Riot's 16 Uplifting Books to Read in These Dark Times

"Yeah, I know, another list of books that someone claims you should read while in quarantine, while you sit on your couch and just stare at your phone because that's all you're capable of doing. I get it. I'm in the same place right now. We're going through a global trauma event right now and your brain doesn't have a whole lot of space available for much else. This list isn't here to say "if you don't read these you're doing quarantine wrong." These uplifting books, these happy, distracting, think-about-something-else-for-a-while books are here to just be a distraction, something to pick up and focus on when you make the mistake of looking at the news and feel your blood pressure rise.
So here: try these uplifting books. If you can't focus enough to read, try an audiobook. Maybe that will work better. But let these books become the world you live in for a little while."
