Great to hear you talk about books again! My 5-star reads in 2023 are Crow Lake by Mary Lawson, Kindred by Octavia E. Butler, O Caledonia by Elspeth Parker, Germinal by Émile Zola and Wade in the Water by Nyani Nkrumah (the last one a must-read if you like To Kill a Mockingbird).

I loved The Woman in White too! The elegance of the writing is so joyous! I'm also excited to read Our Missing Hearts because I've loved other Celeste Ng books. My latest five-star book was Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty :)

Thanks you for this video!I prefer when you detail the books.It is more interresting to know the resume and your point of view about the books than just the grades(sorry i'm not english speaker).

you always describe your books so eloquently ❤Will you be trying the new S A Chakraborty novel she just brought out? I know you loved city of brass (as did I!!) xx

Alan Garner's BEST books - The Weirdstone of Brasingleman and Elidor. Philip Madoc reading Weirdstone on Audio takes the story into orbit. Especially if you listen in bed!

I am a very slow reader and am still on the latest Robert Galbraith book. I have plenty of other stories lined up though and I'm also going through my poetry collection in surname alphabetical order (so Kim Addonizio first).
