I've been lucky to be able to read and write a bunch these past few weeks. I'm going to thread a few things that posted this week, in hopefully less of a self-promo way and more of a "maybe you need something to read besides news reports" way.
Might keep doing this. Might not.

. @TorNightfire let me do an appreciation of Grady Hendrix, an author who manages to find the absurd horror in everyday life. His latest, THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB'S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES, is one of the best things I've read this year, in any genre. https://tornightfire.com/grady-hendrix-is-the-modern-master-of-everyday-horror/
It's hard not to think of space as the ultimate escape from *gestures* all of this. But my favorite space stories are often the ones where space travel is just Humans Acting Badly — On Location. @BookRiot

Finally, my favorite thing to write recently, straight from the murderous mouth of the clergy. https://bookriot.com/2020/04/06/how-i-the-parson-of-a-humble-english-murder-village-am-practicing-safe-social-distancing/
Decided to keep doing this: If you want to get off your couch (metaphorically), here are several international or internationally set horror novels. Actually, they may make you appreciate the safety of your home more. @TorNightfire https://tornightfire.com/travel-hell-6-international-horror-books-to-take-you-around-the-world/
Or if you're in a very different mood, I rounded up some lovely, beautiful fantasy novels to delight and distract at @BookRiot. https://bookriot.com/2020/04/11/lovely-fantasy-books/
And final addition to this thread: more escapism, this time for YA readers. https://bookriot.com/2020/04/10/portal-fantasies-for-ya-readers/
