Thank you so much for including Slanting Towards the Sea in this incredible list! I have so many of these on my TBR — The Hypocrite, Hot Milk and Wedding People, to begin with. Also, I’m reading Annie Ernaux’s Simple Passion, so it’s great to see her in the stack too. I love her writing style, do you have any suggestions on which ones of her books I should prioritize?
I knew I wanted to include your book as soon as I read Jimena's email about it 😍 and that's so exciting re Ernaux - Simple Passion is the first one I read! I think Happening is absolutely essential, though I must confess I haven't yet read *all* of her books (including the Years which I think is considered to be her masterpiece) because I like to save them for when I absolutely NEED a slice of her luminous prose! xx
A total pleasure! Really enjoyed putting this together -- now I just need to find the actual time to read those books on my TBR! Starting to think I should host a reading retreat x
I just finished the hypocrite and LOVED IT, want to read your review but the link leads to the bookshop link instead!!! gimme that link, i wanna read your (and any and all) thoughts on it!! <3

What an excellent list. I might re read some of the books you've mentioned in your 'archives' list. I miss them all of a sudden
I had the exact same experience when I was writing this! x
Wow this is epic! I need a solo holiday to get through them! Thank you!

Thanks for the recs - and glad you mentioned The Wedding People and Sandwich because they were perfect audiobooks for me recently!
They are both pitch perfect aren't they - gorgeously readable and zesty, but also really moving and emotionally resonant x
