The Shell Collector

Beautifully written short fiction stories that read as folklore. Full of appreciation for nature and how human nature interacts with it, uses it, and finds meaning in it. One of them in particular has stuck with me for the month since I finished it, which is always a good sign! Weirdly too many stories with big relationship age gaps, though.

Anthony Doerr has the BEST writing style I've ever seen and it can make even the most boring story interesting and entertaining

would of been a 5 stars but multiple of the stories just weren't that great to me :/
