Nina, I could've sworn we had a book in common this year, but maybe I'm remembering last year. We should just pick one book and read it so we know we overlap at least once :). Love your lists as they help me grow mine.
Love your book lists and pithy book reviews...I see we only overlapped on two books this year (Yellowface and Long Island Compromise). My top recommendations for the year (you've probably read some of these already...I didn't go back and look at your 2023, 2022 lists):
- We All Want Impossible Things by Catherine Newman (in fact, I'm nearly positive you've read this one already!!)
- Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau
- Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
- American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld
- Everything Matters! by Ron Currie Jr.
- Your Presence is Mandatory by Sasha Vasilyuk
- The Bee Sting by Paul Murray
- Displaced Persons by Joan Leegant
- Prophet Song by Paul Lynch
- The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka
Love these short reviews. Ina Garten’s book was my favorite audio listen of the year!
It was such a delight.

I agree!
Love it! So happy we did an event together for Blank… and that you read The Last Love Note! Read Pictures of You next!
Thanks for commenting here! And please come back for the next novel. You're a Minneapolis favorite.
