Klara and the Sun: A GMA Book Club Pick
Kazuo Ishiguro
Because no one asked me, here are some books, podcasts & TV shows I loved in 2021. I forgot Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro but that makes it 11 books and 10 of everything else and that would bother me. RHOBH was the best in a crowded field but obvs I watched all franchises. https://t.co/hUFvWbZGBp
