The best book I've read this year is definitely The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab (very late to the party), but it's followed pretty closely by Season of the Witch: Enchantment, Terror and Deliverance in the City of Love by David Talbot. Season of the Witch is a nonfiction history of San Francisco California in the late 1960s through the early 1980s, specifically through a political lense. I really got into it because I work in and live near San Francisco. It was fascinating to learn about this particular time period because it was so culturally relevant, not just to the area, but to American culture in general. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (again, very late to the party) is a new favorite that I just wrapped up a few days ago.

Would recommend "Dark Eden" series by Chris Beckett, since you love sci-fi. I really enjoyed the wordplay in this one, although read it in translation. It tempts me to read them again in English, since I bought the set of three after reading them from the library - they are pretty expensive in their polish edition now and the last volume hasn't been translated yet.

The whole time you were talking about your most disappointing book and building it up I was sure it was gonna be that one. Sad I guessed right but I’m still excited to continue on the series. I still need to read Saga Vol. 10 but I did enjoy marathoning them so I may wait until Vol. 11 is out. I’m also eagerly awaiting my FL copy of Shadow Cabinet! I’ve only had 3 5 stars so far this year - one being our June Moonie read. I’m not sure about our July read it. I may pick it up if I have time (or I’ll wait for people’s opinions first)
