Hi everyone! I made a list of some books I want to read this year, some from my tbr, some from looking through this reddit . I recently came across this idea of pairing fiction books and non fiction that are of similar topics for a more thought provoking experience and would love if you guys could give any suggestions that could pair well with some of the books I have. Any nonfiction, memoirs, fiction, even poetry or movies etc literally any form of media honestly. I really want to read intentionally this year and learn something new. I know some of the books are classics that many read in high school but I did not so I definitely want to do that. And if you have any other book recs I’d love to hear them as well. Thank you 🙂
