I havent read a single published book since January and it's killing me because reading used to be one of my biggest hobbies for the past five years. To be completely honest I read a pretty wide range of books (or at least it seems so to me) and I can't really find a throughline to ask more of. But I have put together a list and would like something that have these kinds of literary/ dreamy/ conceptual/ emotional qualities but are also not too dense to get into after a long period of not reading.
Some of my most favorite books I've read in the past few years in no particular order!!!
