Undertow Publications ✅Dec 20, 2022

Interested to hear everyone's favourite reads this year, whether short story, novel, non-fiction, etc.

I recently read Claire Keegan's "Small Things Like These," and Laird Hunt's "Zorrie," and adored both.

Also, these are both small books. I love small books.

@Undertow @bookstodon

It’s an older one, but “City of Stairs” by Robert Jackson Bennet completely entranced me with not only fantastic worldbuilding, characters, and writing style, but its treatment of issues like religious freedom, imperialism, colonialism, free speech, ethics were just *chef’s kiss* BEAUTIFULLY done. Highly recommended.

@la_marteau @Undertow @bookstodon Oh oh OH! I absolutely INHALED that series this fall, on the advice of a bookshop boy. It was brilliant and brutal and I loved it!
