I’m not in a reading slump but more like a stand still- I flew through my TBR!!
Here are some of my favourite reads.. I love dystopian/post apocalypse, literary fiction, emotionally heavy books.. 😀
-The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
-Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn (I’ve read and loved all her work)
-Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
-I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
-Demon Copperhead & The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
-Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell (intrigued to read The Marriage Portrait by her.. if you’ve read both please let me know how it compares)
My number 1 read of 2024 was Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

This one is not emotionally heavy, but a fun dystopian/sci-fi concept: Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton. Quick read and pretty intriguing to read about!
Have you ever read any Kazuo Ishiguro – I recommend him as a good dystopian novelist.
