I reviewed The Diapause for @theglobeandmail.com. It’s CovidLit, yes, but also veers into near future sci fi. Feels like Force Majeure meets Station Eleven, and some of the most vivid prose I’ve read in a while.
Review: In The Diapause, author Andrew Forbes delivers CovidLit with a deft hand
For anyone who does feel it’s too soon, I can reassure you that The Diapause – although an early specimen of CovidLit – mentions the virus, and the mass loss of life, sparingly

Couldn’t help myself. I had to finish this last night bugger the consequences for today. #NeverLookDesperate drew me in with the promise of the appearance of pineapple undies and then left me all emotionally discombobulated. #RachelMatthews

Has anyone got any #COVIDlit #reads they recommend?
Photograph of Rachel Matthews third novel, ‘Never Look Desperate’, a pale peach colour with the title and author in strong black capital letters and the graphic being a grey speech bubble with the three dots one watches is waiting for a response for a text message with the words ‘a novel’ scripted across the bottom middle to right. The book is set against my reading pillow which is currently covered with my white pillowcase featuring two children on various forms of transport including camels and horses.

My blurting of thoughts on #RachelMatthews’ new book, #NeverLookDesperate, wouldn’t fit on Instagram so for the first time in over a year, #ThePloddingHistorian returned to her #Blog to share her thoughts on this #GoodRead. I’m into Aussie #COVIDlit at the mo. Recommendations appreciated. #BlogPost
