O'Farrell's Hamnet was one of my favorite reads in 2023, so I'll be adding The Marriage Portrait to my list! I've also added How to Stay Married and You Could Make This Place Beautiful after seeing them show up on multiple rec lists. Emily St. John Mandel's The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility are both excellent, and have some connecting threads to Station Eleven, if you choose to keep reading her books. I devoured them both in a day each.
I bought How to stay married and you could make this place beautiful because of your recommendation. They were so so good
I'm so glad you loved them too!
Some of my favorites:
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, Gabrielle Zevin
Bomb Shelter, Mary Laura Philpott
The Things We Cannot Say, Kelly Rimmer
Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne
Little House in the Big Woods, Laura Ingalls Wilder
The Lost Tales of Sir Galahad, ed. Ned Bustard
All Who Are Weary, Sarah J. Hauser
A Man Called Ove, Fredrik Backman
Thanks for sharing yours!
This is a great list! I want to check out the other Zevin book for sure. Thanks for sharing!
It was a reread for me this year. Loved it just as much. Completely different from Tomorrow x3.
