yes the dutch house goes so well with whistler and tom lake! commonwealth is quite good too.
i liked bits of almost life but it ended up feeling a bit unbalanced to me — i thought we saw way more of erica’s flaws and laure’s strengths while being told they evened out! i did read it very quickly though
You never disappoint! I think you finally convinced me to put Hill on my TBR (just need to choose what to start with). Anyway you are my go-to for lit fic recs and my favorite literary Substacker🫶🏻
i was torn between the nix and wellness, and i went with the nix because it’s his debut so i might as well read them in order. i recently bought wellness too. and thank you so much, that’s my fave thing to hear!! i hope you find some new fave books 🫶🏼🫶🏼
I need to read Almost Life too. From the blurb, it sounds like my kind of story and I'm focusing on reading more queer books centered around lesbians this year since I used to read a lot of books with gay/bi characters
I finally read Yellowface and it’s as razor sharp as everyone says. I’m also very into Amal El-Mohtar after Seasons of Glass and Iron so I read The River Has Roots which is short but still gives you a great story with beautiful turns of phrase.
i also read whistler and almost life this month! wanted to love almost life and truly did love whistler
what did you think of almost life? whistler was so sweet, everyone has been telling me i need to hurry up and read the dutch house next

half of this list is on my TBR omggg, I need more time in my day to read!!
so much to read, so little time is such a curse
Almost life is my favorite book so far this year. I was so devastated.
so good! i was very surprised when i discovered the author usually writes fantasy and almost life was her first contemporary / lit fic book
Seriously! So incredible. I’ve already got her other books from the library!

Do you think you preferred Whistler to Tom Lake? I am desperate to read it!
i personally liked tom lake more!

i still haven’t read yellowface! i’ve heard mixed things but it does sound really interesting
