If you're interested in Clarice Lispector, I cannot recommend 'Too Much of Life' highly enough! It's a collection of all of her newspaper columns & I just love her way of approaching the world

I read Babel this year and loved it, absolutely recommend it! Other than that I really want to recommend The Book Eaters! It’s a fantasy and the main character is a mom trying to save her son while escaping sort of a cult. It is is really good, I promise.

You know Reading for me hasn’t always been a thing to do, it felt like studying when I was at school, but started reading when I was at uni and nowadays it is my favorite part of my day. I just love reading. Just like you said, you get transported into the world of the book and I keep imagining it in my head that I feel I am inside the book or watching it as a movie in my head. When I was at uni, my favorite novels where the ones written by Lianne Moraiarty. I read most of her books then and the last one this year, Nine perfect strangers. I always loved her stories and her prose. I mostly love murder mystery novels as well, not sure if it is your type.

I love a good murder mystery as well! Thanks for the recommendation, nine perfect strangers :)

No problem, Hope you like it if you are going to read it. BTW Nine perfect strangers is a mystery not murder mystery. Okay since you love murder mystery, I loved all of Holly Jackson’s and Karen M McManus’s novels. They are young adult murder mystery novels. I read The death of Mrs Westaway and it was a good one as well.

I also want to add that Babel is on my to read list too- the cover looks quite intimidating but I have heard good things

Thank you for this list! I loved R.F. Kuang’s Yellowface (very satirical, which relates to my next point!) but haven’t read her other work yet. I was intrigued by How I Became A Famous Novelist though, I can’t believe I haven’t heard of it!
