The Magical Language of Others: This is a memoir by a woman whose Korean parents, after having immigrated to America with their children, went back to South Korea and left them behind...her mother wrote her letters, and Koh went back and re-read them as an adult to try to make sense of it all. This sounds heart-wrenching and amazing.
White Teeth: I've somehow never read Zadie Smith before, and this story about two war buddies coming back to England and changing as the world changes sounds like a great place to start.
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek: This environmental non-fiction won a Pulitzer, so I'll read it.
Shatter Me: I don't read much YA, but this book is supposed to be fun and I could use some brain candy right now.
The Perfect Son: I'm a sucker for a family saga and this one has very solid reviews.
A Beginning at the End: I would actually probably skip this pandemic-based post-apocalyptic story right now but I feel bad enough about being late to get to this review copy!
Cutting for Stone: Another family saga! This one has been recommended by people I trust so I'm going to try it out.
Bird Box: I've had this hanging out on my Kindle forever, long before the Netflix movie came out, and I'm finally going to get around to reading it!
The Son: I'd heard good things about Jo Nesbo's work and found this one secondhand before I found the first of his Harry Hole series so figured I might as well start here.
The Weight of Silence: This was a book that looked good during a browse of what was on sale for the Kindle, so we'll see how it plays out (suspense isn't always my fave).

I've been saving Pilgrim at Tinker Creek for a good day, and maybe Spring will be a great time to pick it up! Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteI hope we both enjoy it!
DeleteGreat list! Josh Malerman is a horror author I really want to try. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually much of a horror reader, but it had very good buzz even when I bought it (long before it was made into a movie!)
DeleteHappy reading! I'm curious about Bird Box, too.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT .
I hope it's involving enough to keep my attention!
DeleteA Beginning at the End is on my general tbr! I need to get to it soon (though, yes, maybe not a great time)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT!
It does seem a little too on the nose right now...hopefully by the time I get to it things have calmed down a little
