  10. Prince Harry - Spare (audio)
  11. Emily St. John Mandel - The Glass Hotel
  12. Natalie Zina Walschots - Hench
  13. Ann Leckie - The Raven Tower
  14. Emily St. John Mandel - Sea of Tranquility

  20. Carl Erik Fisher - The Urge: Our History of Addiction (audio)
  21. N.K. Jemisin - The Fifth Season
  22. N.K. Jemisin - The Obelisk Gate
  23. N.K. Jemisin - The Stone Sky
  24. Ann Leckie - Translation State
  25. Ashley Audrain - The Push
  26. Lisa Jewell - The Family Upstairs
  27. Jon Krakauer - Under the Banner of Heaven (audio)
  28. Zoe Whittall - The Fake
  29. Ottessa Moshfegh - My Year of Rest and Relaxation
  30. Antony Loewenstein - The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World
  31. Elena Ferrante - My Brilliant Friend

I’d absolutely recommend most of them. I really enjoyed The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility (to be read in that order), and The Whispers grabbed my attention so well that I almost finished it in a day. Under the Banner of Heaven makes a great audiobook, like an incredibly long investigative podcast. The Broken Earth trilogy is as great as the hype says it is. And if you like dinosaurs and history, it’s hard to top a book by one of the people who proposed the impact theory in the first place.
