The Other Wind
by Ursula K. Le Guin

Satisfying conclusion to one of my all time favorite series. I wish more fantasy was like this, less about over the top adventures and more about the characters and the meditative and philosophical bend that comes with a world that involves magic and fantastic creatures
 
 

Silence
by Shusaku Endo

Very meditative story about faith and the lengths one will go for it. A lot of conversation on the differing perspective of worldview, and ultimately touches on the tendency to enforce belief rather than see through with compromise.
 
 

What The River Knows
by Isabel Ibañez

Loved this book.
 
 

The Unexpected Guest
by Agatha Christie

A very fun read, read it in one night. But, the "secret" was obvious. That was not fun. Still, a nice, light mystery.

Demon Copperhead
by Barbara Kingsolver

Excellent read by Barbara Kingsolver. Told from the orphan boy's point of view with sometimes funny, sarcastic humor that is relief from the heavy subject matter of poor foster care in Appalachia, drug addiction and dysfunctional family life. Good character development, and insightful research. Co-winner of the 2023 Pulitzer prize for fiction. It is a long book, over 500 pages and difficult to read if you have a family member or friend with addiction problems, but it is so well done and well worth the effort!!

Too Much
by I A Dice

This book was amazing, I finished the rest of the series and I was having withdrawal symptoms. I can’t recover from the impact the whole series had on me, there’s so much emotion put into them. I would definitely recommend finishing the whole series!
