Obviously recency bias is a thing, but are there any books released since 2020 that you can confidently say are in your top 5 of all time books now?
For me, I have to give it up to ‘The Whalebone Theatre’ by Joanna Quinn. Still can’t believe it is her debut novel. Such an unbelievable coming of age story spanning the decades between post WW1 and WW2. If you are a theater nerd or love historical fiction or just fantastic family dramas with lyrical prose, check this amazing book out.
What about you all?

Blacktongue Thief.
The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. It won the 2023 National Book Award and is on a lot of lists of the top fiction books of 2023.
Not for me, personally. Hard to read as much these days!
Last year one cracked into my top 5. Chain Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. Absolutely loved it and can’t wait to read it again.
