    This is a terrific list. Several that I've enjoyed already and a bunch that are on my TBR. The library just called to tell me that Thunderclap came in. 😊

    Lovely to see a celebration of reading Ros! And great to hear about Wandering Stars - especially as it's now on the Booker list! I'm so excited for it. There There was on a list of top books of 21st century I saw on Instagram and it put him on the map for me! Soldier Sailor is definitely up there for me too this year!

    I loved Thunderclap such a beautiful and interesting read.❤I re-listened to Small Joys again recently and Muddy bought me so much comfort. I still love him so much.
    Brotherless Night is one of my faves of the year so far too, I completely agree❤
    Lovely to hear about your reading Ros ❤

    Sounds like a wonderful reading year so far, Ros. I really loved Welcome to St Hell. I adore Angela Harding's illustrations - they are stunning!

    So many great books! Thanks for this. You have reminded me of some to prioritize on my TBR (books by Matar, Almada, Hammad, and Selby Wynn Schwartz).
    I wish you happy reading in the second half of the year!

    Selva Almada is wonderful - her non fiction book Dead Girls is also superb, but also quite upsetting. I thought it was just as good as her novels. Oh and thank you for mentioning me - looking forward to The White Book!

    I have been in such a mood for memoirs so Thunderclap and A Flat Place sound especially intriguing!
