Lincoln in the bardo by george saunders

I don’t remember the last time a book made me actually laugh, smile, and cry over its course. It’s not only a beautiful and hopeful story, but it’s also METICULOUSLY researched. A little something for everyone, especially the existential, hopeful, and maybe a little history nerdy among us.

“blood meridian” by Cormac mccarthy and “a drifting life” by yoshihiro tatsumi

blood, guts, gore, and the wild wild west by cormac. as a palette cleanser, the grandfather or alternative manga’s autobiographical masterpiece. Incredible read if you are curious about the history of manga, postwar japan, or the creative process of manga-making in general.

Station eleven by emily st. John mandel

A master at writing genre fiction as literary fiction. Multiple narratives, stellar characters, a time-hopping, pre- and post-apocalyptic plot, and a killer miniseries adaptation to watch once you’re finished

Sophie

I only saw her perform twice, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else live more than once (though I obviously would like to see a lot of them live again). At least I can say one of the times I saw her was her very first US performance 🥹💔
