Melissa Gorga has recently gotten into a brand new self-quarantine activity, and she's loving it. We've seen her dance in TikTok videos with daughter Antonia Gorga and update us on her family's life at home, but now, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member is trying something she's never really done before.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/7c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

In an interview with Daily Mail TV, Melissa raved about her new hobby. She said, "I never read books before. I'm really not a big book reader [but] I've been reading books."

Although Melissa never considered herself a bookworm, she seems to be enjoying her new affinity for reading — but what does her husband, Joe Gorga, think about it?

Melissa explained, "Joe tells me he likes it because it's keeping me quiet while he's watching Ozark."

Clearly, everyone wins with this new hobby. However, reading isn't the only activity the RHONJ boutique owner is engaging in at home. In the same interview, Melissa revealed she's been brushing up on her cooking skills and going all out on family meals. 

Melissa disclosed, "I'm cooking back to when like, I first got married and I was so into it and I wanted to be a perfect little wife," adding, "I'm back to that, but I told Joe don't get too used to that because that's not going to keep happening."

We think Melissa is doing a great job at staying productive during this time, don't you?
