The most beautifully written and affecting book I've ever read. I could not put it down, and I cried my eyes out in the end.

I thought His Dark Materials were the best thing I'd ever discovered as a kid, and they remain special to me today.

I love the social commentary, Keiko as a character, and all the little details. A fun book that I was able to relate to in a lot of ways.

A bleak read, but one that I couldn't put down. The ending broke me, but in a good way?

I want to sink into this book and wrap myself up in it.

Humans will always make art and share it with others, no matter the circumstances. This is a beautiful book.

This was my first literary love. I read it at a very young age, and for several years I re-read it annually. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

A book as delicious, warm, and comforting as your favorite cup of herbal tea.

This book is a master class in writing from multiple points of view. I love the world Beagle has built, and it often feels like a fever dream, but one I don't want to wake up from.

Piranesi's world is at once beautiful and terrifying. The secrets at the core of the story unravel subtly yet pack a punch at the same time. Just an expertly written book.

I'll never be able to get Nao as a character, and her slow downward spiral, out of my head. Possibly the most intricate and richest character study I've ever read.

This is my ultimate comfort read. There's something about stepping into the past through Joseph Mitchell's eyes that's just really captivating. While it's a bit outdated in parts, this is one of the most strikingly human books I've ever read.
