Great list! Surprisingly we only overlapped on two books this year (but some on your list I’ve read in previous years and I assume vice versa). Love love love Meir Shalev’s My Wild Garden. I savored that read, reading a bit every day at the beginning of Covid…
It's wonderful when our reading overlaps. <3. As for Shalev, I'd read his books Pigeon and a Boy and Two She-Bears much earlier. But My Wild Garden was really life-changing, the book of comfort I needed this year. I wanted to dig my hands into Israeli soil and plant things and watch them grow and just feel hopeful when it was hard to.
Loved Left on 10th last year!

I love Elizabeth Berg’s books. Her dialogue is so genuine. My favorite was Talk Before You Sleep”.
I will look for it, Bonnie. Thank you!
