You are so inspiring! From the beautiful Oregon Coast, wishing you well, AL

    I'm a pretty new reader, but these are my top five 5 star books! ⭐️
    1- As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow ~Koulfa Katouh
    2- Heaven ~ Mieko Kawakami
    3- The Yellow Wallpaper ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman
    4- Howl's Moving Castle ~ Diana Wynne Jones
    5- a Curse so Dark and Lonely ~ Brigid Kemmerer
    Note: (I'm currently reading "Letters to a young poet" and oh my God. It's the best thing I've ever read. 16 pages in, I've only finished the first 3 letters and I'm so glad I'm reading it, I'm annotating A LOT and it is just the perfect time in my life for it. So yeah, that will definitely go on the list.)

I remember feeling really seen for some reason. Felt like such an important book for kids by showing them they could survive hardships and that adults and society can be absolutely stupid.

      I’m a new reader can you suggest me few books to read? Actually i was reading a lot of books during my school years but later fell off from that habit but i came back to reading novels after Silent patient. Can you suggest me novels which is like a thriller,Twists and turn or you can call it suspense or Adventure type books. These 3 are my favourite genres

I feel so related to the way you talk about it bc it has given me so many beautiful things in my life ❤ also I just started reading The girl who drank the moon and I’m loving it!

    I'm pretty sure some other people have recommended this before, but the way you talked about Castle in the Clouds here really reminded me of the Winterhouse trilogy by Ben Guterson! They're not flawless books but the atmosphere is my favourite and it's one of my all time favourite middle grade series. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone if you ever get your hands on it!

    Gorgeous list! My next reads from your list will be Season of Migration to the North and Icefields, waiting for them to land in my mailbox 😀
    I'll do a top five five star books I've read that I think you could love:
    1) The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts by Louis de Bernieres (set in Latin America, heavily inspired by Marquez, but also its own thing)
    2) The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo (this man can write like no other)
    3) Brodeck's Report by Philippe Claudel (litfic, about "the other" in a small village community and the after effects of war - also stunning writing)
    4) Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton (dystopian literary sci-fi, Arctic setting, orbiting Jupiter setting, but mostly about loneliness and friendship, and as the others has magnificent writing)
    5) The Last Bear by Hannah Gold (lonely child moves to Bear Island (Bjørnøya - Norway) with her father, befriends the only polar bear on the island and tries to cross the seas to get him back to Svalbard - lovely middle grade)
