Now every publication and their mothers have posted their lists, what ya'll got in the vault's vault?
For me:
New Waves: A Novel by Kevin Nguyen
The brief synopsis: two friends bond at work over being overlooked because of their race. Out of spite, they steal their company’s user database. Then one of them dies, and the other one, who’s paranoid at this point, wonders if her death was really accidental. So he hacks into her computer to search for answers, and instead, he ends up learning all kinds of things about her that had been invisible in their in-person friendship. What parts of people do we really know, and where are they really being themselves?
"Is the future defined by technology, or is it defined by the evolution of our connections with other people in times of rapid advancement? That’s the question at the heart of Kevin Nguyen’s debut novel, New Waves, which starts out like a techno-heist movie before an untimely death shifts the calculus." ~ Observer

The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida by Clarissa Goenawan
The brief synopsis: actually Penguin's description is the briefest of descriptions. This book has thoughtful exploration and a dedicated character study in that the late Miwako's issues and the unraveling narrative compound a story that reflects how secrets and inner turmoil stewing beneath the surface impact individuals and those around them.
"University sophomore Miwako Sumida has hanged herself, leaving those closest to her reeling. In the months before her suicide, she was hiding away in a remote mountainside village, but what, or whom, was she running from?" ~ Penguin RH

In all honesty, do we have any info on how the virus reacts to paper? Like how long it can remain on it’s surface? Apparently it’s about 24 hours on cardboard.

Bout to dl both these
Honestly if I hadn’t already just reread them, I’d probably reread the Harry Potter series.
I feel like if I had to self-quarantine myself because I was sick I’d probably want to read something comforting, and the Harry Potter series excels at that.
Currently reading Men in the Sun by Ghassan Kanafani.
I have Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese, Hard Rain Falling by Don Carpenter, and Setting Sun by Osamu Dazai being delivered to my local library by library transfer so I'll have some great stuff to keep me occupied.
If work forbids me to go to the office and I do not have to work remote I will go and finally read Crime and Punishment.
Here’s a “lockdown” list by Bobby hundreds
A game of thrones for me but I’ma slow reader so it’ll be well after the quarantine that I’m reading this s***
