Many people are taking mental breaks from our COVID-19 world by getting lost in the pages of a good book. UMCom staff are no different.

From fantasy to reality, fiction to non-fiction, so many of us are finding solace and escape from the "new normal" on their bookshelf. 

Check out what your co-workers are reading and get ideas on what to add to your list for Sunday's National Book Lovers Day and beyond.
