Fonda Lee - The Jade War Series/ The Green Bone saga
[Fantasy] Some describe this series as a Godfather-like saga about the Kekonese Kaul family and the magical jade, but it's also on the power struggle as foreign interests attempt to control and exploit the jade of a people they find 'barbarian.'

Sally Rooney - Intermezzo
No one writes personal relationships like Rooney does. This may be her best novel yet, and the story of two grieving brothers struggling through life has moved me to tears multiple times.

Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor - The Dragonfly Sea
They say don't judge a book by its cover, but in this case I would. Reading this novel is like listening to the sound of the waves crashing, the silvery reflection of the moonlight on the water, the atmosphere buzzing with dragonflies. It's stunning.

Richard Powers - The Overstory
Finally got around to reading this book, and I was blown away. I loved how trees were the center of the story, and how they interconnect lives of people. The tree-facts stuck with me, as well as the overwhelming beauty of ancient Redwood trees.
