Loading up my Christmas reading list, last great book you read?
After my finals I’m doing nothing but reading by the fire and I need help loading up my reading list. So what was the last book you read that you really enjoyed? Any genre!🍫🍫🍫
I loved “Say Nothing” by Patrick Radden Keefe about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It was a very fascinating nonfiction book.

My last 5 star book was The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig. It’s part of a series, but the books revolve around a geographic location more than people, so you can read them out of order. I do recommend the whole series, though!

Thunderclap by Laura Cumming. It’s a beautifully written non fiction: part memoir, part art history. One of my favorite reads over the past decade.

Split Tooth, by Tanya Tagaq. She’s better known as a singer and poet, and the book switches back-and-forth between poetry and prose – it’s the story of growing up in a small indigenous town in northern Canada, but it’s mixed in with Inuit myth. I’m not sure if it read anything quite like it but it’s absolutely unforgettable.

Broken Harbor by Tana French. It’s book three in the Dublin Murder Squad series.

Trust by Hernan Diaz
Well written and unique form of storytelling. The book has essentially 4 different sections and each one morphs your view of the story.
