I recently read somewhere that it is natural for self-described "readers" to have trouble reading in times of severe stress and anxiety such as what we are currently facing with COVID-19. The article suggested picking up short stories to help overcome the inability to read full novels. It is for this reason Body Language came to me at the PERFECT time!

I couldn't motivate myself to pick up a book. I usually cannot be found without a book in my hand, reading 2 or even 3 books a week, but lately I wasn't "feeling it." Body Language is exactly what I needed, when I needed it and how I needed it. With stories about love, loss, pasts and futures, each character and each story captivated me. With 12 stories roughly 10 to 20 pages each, I flew through this book and can't brag enough about how perfect these short stories are in our current times of stress.
