I love lists, I love reading other people's lists and doing mine.
So I could not refrain from The best of...
Here we go, from the more recent reads to the ones I read at the beginning of the year:
Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine - G. Honeyman
Bitter-sweet, absolutely brilliant novel about a very peculiar and very strong woman who survives a terrible past. Funny, heartbreaking, a gem!
Where'd you go, Bernadette - M. Sample
Brilliant plot and characters, and there is no other fictional character like Bernadette, a legend, funny, tough, completely without filters. Adorable!

The two-family house - L. Cohen Loigman

L'arminuta - D. Di Pietrantonio
Un romanzo molto duro, quasi freddo nella scrittura, semplice eppur stupendo. Triste, amaro, bello.

Anything is possible - E. Strout
Strout is the master of narration and these stories, separate yet interlinked, are such a great read, simple yet so complicated.

Le otto montagne - P. Cognetti
Un libro che mi ha strappato il cuore, panorami stupendi, un'amicizia di poche parole, un libro che ho adorato.
