    The Crimson Parrot: A mob trying to figure out to use zoom for the first time. It was funny as they tried to conduct plans via zoom and them struggling as they were being distracted at any given moment. They all had find places around their house as they sat with their laptop/computers. I really enjoyed this, was laughing throughout the story. 

    The Cape House: Two estranged brothers reunite in their childhood home. After both their parent death, they decide to go through their dad finances, the discover their dad wasn’t very good with his money. As they were discussing the future of their childhood home…that’s when quarantine hits. A book where two brothers reunite. And the ending…it shook me. <spoiler>He shot him.. The plot was really good it was a shame that the brother didn't get along. </spoiler>

    Stop Motion: After a break up with her boyfriend, she is now spending quarantine alone. JJ tries goes back to all those hobbies that she once neglected, one of those being stop motion. <spoiler>Through doing this she discovers her neighbour has been murdered by his husband. </spoiler>. I loved the plot line of the story and how she solved the murder.
