    I picked up Beartown because of your last video talking about it and I'm 300 pages in - it will be the first fiction novel I have finished since high school (High school made me hate reading), so thank you for that! The book is amazing. Definitely a tough read, but as someone who is from a small rural Australian town, it actually hits pretty hard for me - especially since we also have the divide in wealth based on where you live (certain area of our town would be considered "The Hollows" for instance).

    Coincidentally, The Golden Couple was also the first book I read this year, too. And I agree with your assessment. It was a good read, but nothing special. And, I thought, despite the twists, sort of predictable.

    As you enjoyed Before You Knew My Name you might also like Bright Young Women. It fictionalises the events and lives of several women who were impacted by a well-known American serial killer. The book never mentions the killer's name and instead focuses on the women, to counteract society's tendency to glorify serial killers and forget the victims. It was a tough read (triggers should be checked) but incredibly interesting and poignant.

    I read Addie Larue based on your original recommendation and loved it! I'll have to check out a few more of your favourites.
    My fav trilogy this year was the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy). Phantasy/SciFi. The world building is incredible, and the characters were great, genuine heartbreaking moments and lots of action. I was genuinely sad when I finished it.

    Have you read Dear Mrs. Bird yet? I think you might like it. It's an easy and light read and the stories are cute and funny, but also very touching and heartbreaking at times. The audio book was very engaging and well done! There are 3 books in the current chronicle. "A charming, irresistible debut novel set in London during World War II about an adventurous young woman who becomes a secret advice columnist."
