James was a top fave from last year!! I’m reading Wild Dark Shore right now and already suspect it will be a top fave.

So glad to hear we’ll see more of you on here!! 🙌

This list is SO good. Deep cuts was outstanding and I, too, stan Curtis Sittenfeld. James is on my TBR pile but immediately moving it up to next in line!

Deep Cut is on my TBR as a possible comp for my own book and I have been so excited to dive into it!! This just made me even more so to see it on your list!

Ahhh thank you for the link to the Deep Cuts playlist! I just finished the book yesterday and loved it SO much despite knowing maybe 6% of the songs written about. I need to reread it alongside the playlist like a music theory curriculum.

Thank you for introducing me to Confessions! I bought a copy early in the year and absolutely loved it - I'm always a sucker for a great Irish family story and I thought this one was exceptionally written! It's going to be tough for anything to move Broken Country from the top of my list this year - wow! Such a powerful story and I'm so glad you loved it, too!

I really need to prioritize Deep Cuts, Show Don’t Tell and You Between the Lines!

A few of my favs have been Definitely Better Now, How to Read a Book and The Motherload
