Joshua CohenCorina RomontiNo 2 us one of the funniest books I’ve ever read - The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen. I absolutely adored this book and it stayed with me long after I finished it. Think campus novel meets slapstick. Absolute pure gold https://t.co/rfaqhXilfy

Grey Bees
Andrey KurkovCorina RomontiNo 3 is Grey Bees by Andrey Kurkov trans by Boris Dralyuk. There’s so much nuance, humour and heartbreak in this book. It talks about identity and oppression and living in a war zone and the absurdity of said war. It’s also incredibly hopeful and warm and please read it https://t.co/Rv46gXve7d
