The Alice Networkreesewitherspoon: The votes are in y'all... #TheAliceNetwork won as our next @rwbookclub selection! I think you’ll really enjoy this exciting and fast-paced story about a pregnant American socialite who teams up with a female ex-spy and a hot-tempered young soldier in the aftermath of WWII. A story of courage and redemption. Happy

The Bear and the Nightingale and A Gentleman in Moscow are the best new books I've read this year.

Seconding The Goldfinch or the Neopolitan series

They both follow amazing characters over a long time period where you witness so much development and they feel authentic, although the Neopolitan series in particular is so interesting for the insight into women's stifling roles in Italian culture and the attempts of two young girls to reject that however they can. Plus it's so addictive and easy to read.

Seconding the Neapolitan series rec!

If you just want sth light and fluffy, my permanent fallback is P.G. Wodehouse, Leave it to Psmith is one of my all-time faves (you don't have to read things in order or anything, it's the end of a series starting with Mike and Psmith but it still works as a standalone)

Juliet Takes a Breath

I just finished The Visit of the Royal Physician by Per Olov Enquist. It was SO GOOD. If you've seen A Royal Affair, it's about the same people but with a very different take on them.
