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 BABEL was the book that blew me away this year, though certainly I enjoyed many others, particularly by debut authors.
@Undertow @kimlockhartga @bookstodon adding to BABEL praise. Epic.
@jillrhudy @Undertow @kimlockhartga Not a fan of fantasy, but Babel has been receiving so much praise, I keep thinking about it 🤔
@likewise @Undertow @kimlockhartga I don't know how to describe it exactly! It's history with parallel fantasy. I love words, linguistics and etymology and that made me love it more.
@jillrhudy @Undertow @kimlockhartga I love those as well, so that makes me think I should give it a try 👍
@likewise @jillrhudy @Undertow It's definitely a good fit for wordsmiths.
