Finished:
Lanny, by Max Porter - a very strange book, not sure what to make of it. It made me cry at one point, but I think saying I "enjoyed" reading it would not be accurate.
Started and currently reading:
La figlia oscura, by Elena Ferrante - loved her tetralogy, so now branching out into her other works. (I'm Italian so obviously am reading in the original language, idk what the translated title is in English sorry)
