I love to exchange opinions on books and discover “new” ones I didn’t know before that I might find interesting. So I’m asking you guys which is the last best book you have read that you have actually really enjoyed/has left you with something 😃

[The Hands of the Emperor](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/af2bba9c-8f41-4a3e-b87a-8532a44ccb67) by Victoria Goddard! It’s a (very long) beautifully written slice of life book about the personal secretary to the emperor of the world, with a heavy focus on platonic relationships.
The Last Flight by Julie Clark had me guessing until the final paragraph
Cosmos by Carl Sagan
[**The Golden Compass** by Phillip Pullman](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/119322)
i can’t overstate how much i love this book. it’s the only book i’ve ever read that i consider to be PERFECT. it’s an absolute masterpiece and i was totally blown away when i first read it in my 30s. i wish i could sit every single person on my lap and read this story to them. it’s so magical and atmospheric and it made me laugh and cry and scream and hold my breath and scream some more and cry some more and yell FUCK YEAH! it’s a rollercoaster of a book. perfect and i doubt any book will top this. this book is so so special.
(if you’ve seen the movie adaptation of this, it does NOT do the book justice **AT ALL**):
