Trocken (Sober) by Daniel Wagner. Written in german, I don't know if there's an english translation. It's about himself struggling with heavy alcoholism and his way out of the addiction.

Last book of the stormlight archives by Branden Sanderson.
Really good, but for some reason I'm having a hard time finishing the last one 😅.
mtg has well written books based on its lore if your into that. its best to start on early sets, because each blocks have books as sorty of "trilogy", because you wont be able to get the context without reading the 1st volume of a set.
Everything All at Once by Bill Nye. It's a great guide on how to make a positive change in the world from a scientific perspective.
Though it was written in 2017, I'd say it is more relevant now than ever.
Im reading The Bridge on the Drina, and the first Ahriman omnibus from the warhammer universe right now. Id recommend the first to anyone, its an absolute classic. The second I would recommend to anyone who likes warhammer or weird sorcerer bull shit.
Just finished The Cutting Room by Louise Welsh. It was 3/5 for me. Pretty dark, explicit. The pitch was interesting to me but I didn't feel it delivered too well.
I'm currently reading The Thursday Murder Club and it's a delight at far, 37% in. No final judgement yet based on that.
The Experimental Log of The Crazy Lich by Angry Squirrel
It's a combination of xuanhuan, comedy, and political drama. Keep in mind that it's looong - I've been reading it since March, finished 215 chapters out of 841
No Flinching by Stephen King. It's a good book, but you really have to go back and start with the Mr. Mercedes series.
I’m busy working my way through Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen series.
It’s a very dense set of books with a ton of lore, but I’m enjoying it a lot (I’m at the sixth one so far).
The only downside is that I read them on an e-reader and can’t quickly look at all the detailed maps and glossaries whenever I want.
If you like science fiction, I just finished reading Semiosis by Sue Burke. A story about colonists starting a new life on the planet Pax and their alliances with sentient indigenous plant species. A really great read ! EDIT : grammar
