    Hi all!

    Please help me out of my reading slump. I’ve read every piece out there by my three faves: Emily St. John Mandel, Neil Gaiman, and Donna Tartt and cannot get into anything! (the last great book I read that I loved was “I Have Some Questions for You” by Rebecca Makkai – I’ve read all of her, too lol).

    I love magical realism that is heavy heavy on the real side, beautiful prose, world building, third-person narrator. Not into YA, most true crime style stuff, or anything too straight sci-fi.

    I know I’m particular 😢😢😢. Hoping the book experts can help me! Thank you!

      I love Mandel and Tartt too, I suggest almost anything by Lauren Groff (Vaster Wilds is gorgeous and world building, technically historical fiction but not really), Emma Donoghue’s The Wonder, Hannah Kent’s Devotion and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Also Leave The World Behind is extraordinary but I am too lazy to remember the author.
