  • Best book you have read this year?

    Hello everyone! I am looking for some books recommendations to wrap up my reading year strong!

    I started the year with a major reading slump, probably the worst I have had in recent years and I barely opened a book from February until May. Pretty much 80% of what I tried to read in this time ended up as DNF.

    After much thought I realised that this might have happened because I was forcing myself to read books I had already bought or that had been in a TBR since forever rather than just picking up whatever inspired me. So now I want to do the opposite and ask everyone for their favourite book/s they have read this year so that I can read whatever calls me the most from your recommendations. This will also be a great way to maybe explore new genres and styles, which is why I am asking for YOUR favourite recent read rather than a recommendation based on what I like or what you think I might like based on my reading preferences.

    I will start: my only 5⭐️ read so far this year was “Endling” by Maria Reva, and I highly recommend it! Is a book about a bizarre road trip adventure, snails, the wedding industry in Ukraine but also about so much more than all that! Other books that I absolutely loved: “There is no Antimemetics division” and “Fallow”.
