Ragged Company by Richard Wagamese. Beautifully written and has the perfect chapter length for winding down before bed.

The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz…written in 1938 (in four weeks!) after the author escaped Nazi Germany…it’s the story of a man on the run, trying to escape Nazi Germany.
Written with an amazing sense of urgency and authenticity. Only about 1/3 of the way through so far.

**The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince**, by Robin Hobb.
It is a prequel novella to Hobb’s 16 book Fantasy series, The Realm of the Elderlings. RotE is one of my favorite series of all-time: beautiful prose, complex characters, lots of political drama.
This novella is the only thing by Hobb I have never previously read – so I’m rectifying that!

So many great recommendations, I wanted to add my answer too: I am currently reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir but sometimes I find it hard to put down and end up going to bed too late. I also have Stephen Fry’s The Odyssey which I picked up at an airport bookshop and started reading on the flight home. I dip into and out of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and Psychology in Bite Sized Chunks which I got as a gift.

I usually read books I already read before bed. Otherwise I will stay up too late trying to see what happens next. Right now it’s Yellowface by RF Kuang and Wahala by Nikki May.
