"Solito" by Javier Zamora was my favorite book that I read in 2023. Some of my favorite authors are Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Madeline Miller, Haruki Murakami, Orhan Pamuk, Sarah Vowell, Julia Alvarez, Christopher Moore, Isabelle Allende, Junji Ito, and Pablo Neruda. I really enjoy magical realism and outrageous plots.

Nights of Plague (2022, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group) 1 star

exhaustingly descriptive

1 star

I generally love Orhan Pamuk novels. His writing is descriptive in a way that is unmatched by any contemporary author. Unfortunately this book was not for me. It was incredibly descriptive in a way that only seemed to add pages to the book, no joke this book honestly added pages on my ereader as I read it. Perhaps, if this had been historical fiction taking place in a real country, it may have not been as painful, but this was too much effort for a fictional revolution on a fictional island.
