  • Birnam Wood

    By Eleanor Catton
    4 stars

    Incredible use of different perspectives to tell the whole narrative. At some points the characters were almost too visceral, and written to be human to a fault. The resolution felt both rushed and poetically justifiable.

  • Station Eleven

    By Emily St. John Mandel
    4 stars

    Eerily aligned with the alternative reality the pandemic could have brought us, this novel forces us to reflect on the things that are important to a life well lived.

  • The Luminaries

    By Eleanor Catton
    5 stars

    This book is timeless. A perfectly constructed mystery that shows the complexity of humanity and the connections, both real and mystical, that we have with others.

  • Klara and The Sun

    By Kazuo Ishiguro
    5 stars

    Klara and The Sun is a hauntingly beautiful commentary on what it means to be human and the power of hope.
