I browsed the first pages of Florence Adler Swims Forever and am captivated. It will be first on my list after my current reads are done.
Nakamura's noir fiction is a favorite of mine, so I'm pretty happy to have My Annihilation. Insular French villages always capture my interest, and so does People Like Them.
