Good morning Twitter https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☀️" title="Sun with rays" aria-label="Emoji: Sun with rays"> Yesterday I noticed I read 21 books during the quarantine (it& #39;s quite a lot, even for me) and I thought it would be nice to do a quick thread of recs about some of them, as they really helped me to cope

First I reread one of my all-time favourite: The Bedlam Stack by Natasha Pulley. It& #39;s magical realism in Peru in 1859 with slow-pacing, a lot of coffee & sass, discussions about languages and Merrick is the best narrator you could ask for & I live for his relationship w Raphael.

Next, the most comforting book: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. Honestly, this story has the same effect than a warm, weighted blanket, I can& #39;t explain it otherwise. It& #39;s a sweet fantasy with found family at its core & a slow-burn MLM love story.

I decided to read smth outside my comfort zone with Weather by Jenny Offill and it was a really good choice. Hard to describe, it& #39;s contemporary North American lit that reads more like a personal blog than fiction. A bit depressing but the writing style is kind of my thing.

Then I read the 3 books in the Dominion of the Fallon series by Aliette de Bodard in 3 days. Urban fantasy based in a historical Paris ruined by a magic war. Fallen angels, Vietnamese dragons, important discussions about colonialism&power&kindness & a queer cast.

Also,">https://mailchi.mp/4dd06c85f... starting in book 2 you& #39;ll meet one of the best couples for the arranged marriage trope.)

I& #39;ll end this thread with Beach Read by Emily Henry. Rivals-to-friends-to-lovers romance btw a romance writer and a literary writer. They decide to compete to see if they can write a book in the other& #39;s genre. It& #39;s funny and healing and you& #39;ll Feel so many things reading this https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Sparkling heart" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkling heart">
