Here’s a look at what we’ve been reading during this time of Covid-19 social distancing and working remotely. Some of us find we have less time and miss those precious minutes indulging in a good book during our daily commute. Some of us have found more time to tune into a podcast series or settle in for a long read. Here is a snapshot of the books, articles and podcasts that have captured our interest over the past two months – we’re taking it all in.
