I read a ton of books this year (as usual) but these are my favorites of the year! I highly recommend anyone read them and I'm happy to go in depth on any that catch your eye either privately or here in the comments. I would've done a top 10 but actually my tenth was only an E-book 😅
Top tops of the year would have to be a toss up between Yellowface and Recursion 😊
The Future (Alderman) Should not be missed! The Candy House (Egan) The River (Heller) The Trackers (Frazier) Dark Matter (Crouch) ! The Stars are not Bells Victory City (Rushdie) Not sure when I read Crawdads, but definite favorite The Iliad !
Finishing Heaven and Earth now - and Recursion is up next!
@JovialMoose Fair point! I was mostly just teasing (though truthfully I fully admit to being a physical book snob XD ). Any form of reading is fantastic!
@Gangstress The Drift was solid! That post-apocalyptic survival with a side of social commentary? Right up my alley. I am VERY disappointed I didn't get to read The Square of Sevens it sounds so good, but I'm sure I'll get to it!
Secondly, no femme can rock a white sweater like you. 👏👏👏👏👏
'tis and extraordinary list to be certain and I'm familiar with most of those tomes. Discussion of which shall begin in pm at your leisure, of course 😁
Hmm....to begin, what did you think of the (immensely popular) F-Mac's 2 books topping your pile?
Almost any reading should be praised and encouraged. Subsequently, I will post the recent books I read, which is admittedly an idiosyncratic group, but all of which I would recommend.
@stound Starting with Recursion, since you asked first, - time loops, false memories, reality glitches - Crouch threw everything at the wall, and somehow, it all stuck. The tension is masterful, every jump forward, every revelation, my heart was in my throat. Not for the faint of mind, but for those who crave a mental workout.
