I like non-fiction that educates on system racism, discrimination, colonialism, etc in the US and globally. I love historical fiction and literary fiction, not the biggest fan of romance or thrillers. I like Ann Patchett style books that are more character than plot driven.
My favorite book of all time is the Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne.
Books I’ve loved this year:
The Color of Law
Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Clytemnestra
A Gentleman in Moscow
Throne of Glass series
Tom Lake
homegoing
The storyteller
Yellow face
How the word is passed
The fire next time
