I’m about 80 pages into Klara and the Sun (Kazou Ishiguro) and loving it. I also just read Strange Weather in Tokyo (Hiromi Kawakami) and The Body in Question (Jill Ciment)

“Nothing” by Janne Teller. A deeply nihilistic and unsettling short novel. Don’t let the YA classification fool you, this book is not to be underestimated.

Thistlefoot by Gennarose Nethercott (beautiful modern weird fiction), The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman (extremely American vampire novel whose unreliable narrator could convince you of anything), A Most Remarkable Creature by Jonathan Meiburg (nonfictional examination of human interaction with the natural world using a highly charismatic bird as its axis)

I don’t have a book suggestion, but I just went to the library the other day for the first time in FOREVER. If you ever want to feel stupid- try to remember how to – and find – a specific book. I was *stressed*. Twas a successful mission though!
