      Let me see..
      Pachinko
      Into the drowning deep
      The fifth season
      The book of the unnamed midwife
      Wrong place wrong time

      I'd have to agree on Parable of the Talents. Also, At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop (this audiobook blew my mind), Book Lovers by Emily Henry, When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo, In An Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire, and The Love Songs of W.E.B. DuBois.

      The Moonday Letters
      Station Eleven
      I'm Glad My Mom Died
      Vita Nostra (I'm not done with this yet, but I can't imagine anything happening in the last 75 pages that's going to change my mind.)

      I've read 48 this quarter. I was shocked with how much I enjoyed Beach Read it was definitely a favorite this quarter. Other favorites were Beneath a Scarlet Sky, A Children's bible by Lydia Millet and Winter in Sokcho.

      @@BookswithEmilyFox I'm currently reading Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton and find it really enjoyable, much better than the movie Midnight Sky. It's End-of-the-world-as-we-know-it but is really about relationships. My favorite (even above Station Eleven) is The End of the World Running Club; however, I think because of the subject - also about relationships - it is probably more relatable to male readers.

    I read Beach Read last year and enjoyed it. Since you also enjoyed it, you might like books by Mhairi McFarlane. They are romances, but they also deal with serious topics, like Beach Read did with grief. If you’re in the mood to read a romance, I recommend Just Last Night, Mad About You or If I Never Met You by this author. Her older ones are good as well, but I think the writing is stronger in her newer books. They are set in England and I enjoy the slang and learning little things about the culture.

    Just a clarification: in Book of the Unnamed Midwife, it is men who have higher survival rates, which also plays into the major subplot of women surviving not only the deadly outbreak and child birth, but also surviving men, who now have far less women to “go around”. The second book in the trilogy (the first is essentially a standalone and far superior to the other two) goes into more depth.

Then I heard you mention Razorblade Tears and remembered that I had it on my shelf because I got it from book of the month earlier this year or last year. And since you were enjoying it so much I thought I would pick it up. And I loved it! it was funny and just a really good read and it’s also one of my new favorites. I want to read more Octavia Butler, but I decided that I am only reading books I already own for the rest of the year because even though I was not reading last year I was still buying books. I don’t mind having a large amount of unread books but it does stress me out when I’m not actually reading them, which is what happened last year due to my massive reading slump.
