I’ve enjoyed your reviews so much-you’ve introduced me to a lot of books I would never have found on my own, while dipping into beloved novels as well. A great mix! Some of my top 2023 books: Thought provoking: Omeros by Derek Wolcott, Favorite new author: Wendell Berry, Most harrowing: Quicksand by Nella Larsen, Possible overall favorite: Piranesi by Susanne Clarke (I cannot emphasize enough how unique and wonderful a book this is), Favorite theology: On the Theology of Death by Karl Rahner, favorite reread: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn-hadn’t read it since middle school and it was a really unique experience to compare what my initial impressions were with my reading as an adult/wife/Mom
