    1. Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.

      Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman.

      Both are exceptional and made me feel many many things. Enjoy!

    2. Beloved – Toni Morrison

      The History of Love – Nicole Krauss

      A Girl is a Half Formed Thing – Eimear McBride

      The Trick to Time – Kit De Waal

      Moonglow – Michael Chabon

      Hamnet – Maggie O’Farrell

    3. Nonfiction: When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Khalanithi. I was sobbing but also not far removed from my own cancer diagnosis.

      Fiction: How High We Go in the Dark, by Sequoia Nagamatsu. The whole book isn’t that way, but one chapter had me wrecked in a way that no other piece of lit has torn me up.

      Fiction: The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. Good god I couldn’t catch my breath for being emotionally pulverized.

      Fiction: A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini. Even more emotionally pulverizing than The Kite Runner.

      Fiction: My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, by Fredrik Backman. Touching kind of tears.
