Hyperion by Dan Simmons – you kind of need to read the sequel Fall of Hyperion after so not sure if this fits the bill but if you like sci fi these two are brilliant books

Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne. I loved this book. I love the main characters – individually and as a couple. I love that the romance is just them already together and all the main conflict is outside the relationship. I love the cozy vibes.

Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. The only book that has made me cry. Now I’m making my way through all of his books.
It’s essentially a wall of text with no dialogue, very few paragraphs, but I didn’t find it a difficult read. I was interested in it.

Project Hail Mary. I’m not usually a sci-fi reader but I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since I read it
