2024 brought me some books I raved about and foisted on others near and far. Off the top of my head I loved: fiction: Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Beautyland, Jen Beagin’s first two books (Pretend I’m Dead and Vacuuming in the Dark), Trust, Tell Me Everything, the Librarianist. fiction in translation: Forgotten on Sundays (Valerie Perrin). NF: Tell Me Everthing (Erika Krouse), The Way of Integrity, Brave the Wild River.

Thanks for these, Kelly! Beautyland has been on my radar and I'm excited to look into these others.

I downloaded Ethan Frome (Edith Wharton) to my Kindle after your post!

Great ideas thanks. I read the Kevin Barry and "One of Ours" this year -- I was curious about how she treated the troopship journey because I have one in my novel.
