I LOVED Moby Dick. I haven't read Song of Soloman but have read The Bluest Eye, Beloved, and Tar Baby. She is amazing.

I need to read that Donoso one, have really liked everything I've read from hi so far, specially The obscene bird of night, highly recommended and sounds similar (in a good way) to the one you mentioned 🙏 I could probably bet it's more twisted, I mean if not, Jesus... it feels like a fever dream and sleep insomnia combined

My favourite read so far this year was a shocker to me. True Grit! I read it and listened to it read brilliantly by Donna Tartt on KZitem. I wanted to give everyone I know a copy and almost bought it for a baby gift because every girl should read it.

Good to know! I love it when quality audiobooks find their way on KZitem. I really loved Winter's Bone earlier this year so I think True Grit might have a similar feel!
