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.
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.
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!

thanks for sharing Erifili. Makes me want to share my reading list for the year :)
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
