Five Star Books Read in 2018-2023

These are the books I loved most over the past five years. They are the books that linger in my heart and mind, and made me feel the most intensely. Reading them felt like waking up from a long slumber - snapping me to attention, making me question myself and think about the world differently.
I hope you discover something new here you would like to check out.
