I posted our book of Covid pandemic poems and stories to Goodreads and below are the Goodreads reviews which have given it 4.67 stars to date.

This was an anthology of poems and short stories by three different Irish authors. Each was a story about Covid from a different point of view. Everyone's perspective was represented: children, the elderly, those with Covid, those just simply fearing, country folks, city folks, and everything in between. Some of the stories were heartbreaking (and I'll admit to a good tear or two), while others were amusing, humous or even, bizarre.
I did enjoy this anthology. (I especially liked the short stories - the one about the man walking in the rain with the twist at the end was my favorite. Though, I felt like most of the poetry fell a bit flat for me, personally. I tend to like more rhyme-y poems.) That being said, I would feel strange rating this because there were a lot of little errors in the manuscript that I feel like could be corrected quickly, and due to the nature/topic of this novel, it would be a bit petty of me to knock it for that. So I'll leave it unrated for now.
