I don’t know it’s the best book of the decade but The Island of sea Women was the best book I’ve read in years.

Before we were yours
Educated


The only good book among these is Crawdads. Before We Were Yours was awful.


I hated where the crawdads sing. Loved educated. The other 2 ok but wouldn’t really recommend.

Yes! Also Commonwealth. I.will probably read Bel Canto before 2021.

Tom Hanks does a great job narrating The Dutch House FWIW.


I think Bel Canto is probably her best.

All the Light We Cannot See---WWII book, but both magical and moving.

Interesting -- I disliked Bel Canto but loved Commonwealth and the Dutch House.

+1 Don't watch the movie, it stinks. If you have watched the movie, read the book.

Radiance of Tomorrow - does deal the aspects of civil war, but I did not find it to be depressing.


2 States: The Story Of My Marriage - loved this a love story from the male's perspective.


It's What I Do- some intense moments but I didn't find it overwhelming
