Grace of Kings
Ken Liu
I read this years ago, and I still remember it. There's nothing quite like it.

This novel really captures the feel of a cdrama. I've read a lot of historical novels in Chinese, and among the novels written in English, this is one of the best at capturing that feel. Plus, I'm a sucker for the girl-replaces-dead-brother-to-present-herself-as-male trope.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
V.E. Schwab
The beginning was interested and the premise hooked me, but as the story went on I lost interest. I DNF'd about halfway through.

I read this in 2020. It was downright creepy to read this in the first year of the pandemic.. and realize it was published in 2019. It describes how a 'pox' would cause the world to shut down and adopt anti-congregation laws, then tech companies would consolidate into monopolies and run society while many people stayed at home, worked remotely for low wages, and bought everything online from the largest, most powerful tech company.
A Gentleman in Moscow
Amor Towles
I read this for a book club. Wonderful book. We all loved this.
The Story of the Lost Child
Elena Ferrante
The devastating conclusion to the Neapolitan Quartet.
Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay
Elena Ferrante
It's part of one of the best book series I've ever read.
The Story of a New Name
Elena Ferrante
This was the book which clicked with me and hooked me into the entire Neapolitan Quartet. After finishing this book, reading the rest became a high priority in my life.
Uprooted
Naomi Novik
I read this years ago. I recall that it was a page-turner. Though the sex scene was just weird and didn't fit in the flow of the story.
My Brilliant Friend
Elena Ferrante

The first time I read this, it was a slog, and I barely got through it. Then I read the rest of the Neapolitan Quartet and I was hooked. I read this again. It hit very differently once I knew what would happen to all the characters in the future.
Nevada
Imogen Binnie
I read this years ago, and still remember it. I read it because it's one of the novels most recommended by transwomen. I'm cis, and you know what? It stayed with me too.
