• Share the pleasure of reading

Although reading is an act, in principle, individual, it can actually become a social experience. Reading the same book that someone else important to you may be reading from a distance can make you feel a little closer to them. If, in addition, after reading, you can share opinions about that work, the bonding effect will be greater.

Reading book passages to other people will help you bond right now. You can read stories to your children at home but it is also a good idea to share literary moments with older people who are going through confinement alone, over the phone.

• Join a virtual book club

Some bookstores, even if they keep the blind down, still offer an online virtual reading club for their customers. Find out if your regular bookstore offers it. If you don’t have it, you can buy the book they propose online and then participate in a virtual meeting with other people to share interesting aspects about reading that work.

• Sign up for online literary activities

The networks are going to offer you many interesting literary encounters. For example, throughout the day great female athletes will read their stories through the Solidarity Workshop and will encourage the little ones to carry out literary activities from home.
