Yay! Very much appreciate your review of Martr! I loved The Sentence as well! ❤ love the cover of Worry. Privileged women having a hard time - I like that.
That's a great list of books! Thanks for talking me into picking up The Coin again (soft dnf it a while ago). Ooh Worry is in my priority pile, you made it sound fabulous 👌 Happy New Year 🥳
My Friends is so high on my list. I haven't seen a negative review of it yet haha. I was a big fan of Martyr! and I thought that the ending actually made a decent amount of sense given how the book as a whole hinged on a decent amount of absurdity. It was beautifully written, for sure!
Totally agree about Martyr! I read it and thought of creating a long form review, but all I could really think of saying was, "Yeah, this is a book." 😂 BUT Zaher's The Coin -- absolutely fab! Loved it
@@jacksontalley Happy 2025 to you too! Have you read any of Akbar's poetry collections? I enjoyed those quite a bit more than his novel (despite my not being a very poetry minded person)
@@jacksontalley oooo good good. You should also check out Mosab Abu Toha's poetry collection. He has one from a couple years ago I that I dip into once in a while. It's very good. He has a new one too, but I've yet to pick it up
You are the first person I’ve seen review both Mighty Red and The Coin, which I’ve had my eye on. From what you said I don’t think I’ll bother with the Erdrich 😂
@@GemofBooks Louise Erdrich is really great! The Mighty Red was just a miss. You should totally try her out if you haven’t yet - The Sentence, The Night Watchman, and the Round house are my favs. Happy new year!!🎊

@@ohmylainey happy new year! Worry was the better read for me over The Coin but both very pleasant surprises 😎
Happy new year 🥳 I felt the same about Martyr and My friends. The coin looks so interesting, I’ve put it immediately on my TBR!
@@cassandrenadler The Coin is definitely one of a kind haha! Let me know whatcha think!

@@Tristan-L-Space-Books you’ll love My Friends! It’s a beautiful book. I’m also excited for what Kaveh Akbar does next.

@@professoraugust I think Martyr was good enough that his next one will pique my interest. So glad I stumbled across the coin! Happy new year 🎊

@@professoraugust no but funny enough I’m hoping to get in to poetry this year. I haven’t really read much to date.

Lol privileged women having a hard time is an amazing description. Definitely checking out Worry!
