The Comfort Book by Matt Haig was my first read of the year and it was such a nice, gentle way to start the year.

The five senses book sounds so interesting!

I keep meaning to read more Haig, and hearing your description makes me want to pick this one up sooner rather than later. Thank you for mentioning it, Heather!

First book: Hame by Annalena McAfee - a challenging read but worth it.

Standout read: Mr. Palomar by Italo Calvino - philosophy without the headache. Final chapter on death was WOW!

Favorite read: Even Though I Knew the End by C.L. Polk - fantasy novella that broke my heard in the end.

I am intrigued - I haven't read any of these! It sounds like your reading year is off to a great start. Thank you for sharing!

Awake was one of my top ten reads last year. All of my favorite people have raved about The Correspondent, so I’m bumping it up my TBR list.

I can't wait to hear what you think of The Correspondent - it was my final book of 2025 and I loved pretty much everything about it! And I couldn't put Awake down once I started. Feel free to share any other of your top reads - I've got my TBR list ready!
