1. East of Eden by John Steinbeck - I think I mentioned here that one of my goals this year is to read more big books since I typically avoid them. I purchased East of Eden years ago in a thrift store and it's been collecting dust on my shelf for years until this month. I was on the fence at the beginning, but by the end I really loved it. There were so many things that made me stop and think, lines that I'll remember. I think this one will stick with me.
2. Vengeful by VE Schwab - This was a reread, and most of it on an airplane from London to DC. I own the UK edition of the first book in the series, Vicious, and grabbed the second book as. souvenir for my trip. It's been several years since I read it and figured a reread would be nice since the final book in the series comes out later this year. Loved it just as much the second time, but fair warning that this one is rather brutal. In fact, I'm surprised I like it given how dark & violent the story is. But Schwab gets me every time - I love basically everything she writes. Eagerly waiting for Victorious.
