I for COVID

I really enjoyed The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, about a super-professional butler who knows how to inspect the silver polishing but, sadly, knows nothing at all about people. Very touching. 1989 Booker Prize Winner.

Hi Brenda,
I've just realised that I never officially entered this challenge, although I've been keeping a record on my Excel spreadsheet. Am I too late to throw my hat in the ring? (or should that be "throw my mask"?)

S for MASK

The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley is an entertaining debut by Sean Lusk which has some history, some magic, and exotic locales. It's not my thing, but I can see a real fan base for this one when it comes out in June.
