74 books

The most I’ve ever read in one year!

Here are my top 4 in no particular order:

• Manacled by SenLinYu

  • Traumatic and heartbreaking and lovely and beautiful. I would never recommend you read it, but if you do you are in for an incredible story.

  Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

  • A highly enjoyable, scientifically dense romp through outer space. Weir understands humanity and our relationship to the universe in such a beautiful and simple way.

• I Who Have Never Known Men by Jaqueline Harpman, Ros Schwartz (translator)

  • The best and worst of our kind laid out for the reader to experience. Urges us to consider what we are underneath everything we take for granted and what drives us to keep living day after day. Everyone must read this in their lifetime.

• In Memoriam by Alice Winn

  • This tragically beautiful novel showcases the ugly gut churning reality of war alongside the stark simplicity of a love that cannot be expressed.
