What book from the last 2 years will make it into the next 100 best list?
Underground Railroad
Underground Airlines too
Was disappointed. And I had looked so forward to reading it.
So disturbing to read. But necessary. I didn’t want to keep reading & I couldn’t put it down either.
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. It should be on the list and should be read by everyone! Amazing!
Just added it.
Agree. Absolutely fantastic
It is AMAZING!!
The Nightingale!
The Fireman by Joe Hill, Ancillary Justice, and the Three Body Problem
The Three Body Problem was really good. I enjoyed the different perspective.
A Gentleman in Moscow
Wonder
Jane Two by Sean Patrick Flanery. He’ s the actor from Boondocks Saints,Powder & Young Indiana Jones. He wrote a book based on his childhood & the wisdom his grandfather passed in to him. (He did change the names. ) But it was a great coming of age story about growing up in Texas in the 70’s & 80’s It’s got humor & drama.
The Orphan Master’s Son
Pachinko
The Nightingale and An American Marriage.
The Hate U Give It is an amazing debut book.

@ElissaWhat an incredible book. Not just the subject matter but the writing was so captivating that I was transported to each and everyone of the locations in the book as if I had been one of the characters.
