I haven't read much read stuff that has been published after 2000s and have barely liked what I have.

I ask this bcz most of the time I look up 'Best new books' or 'popular books', the recommendations are mostly smut, fantasy smut or cheap romance.

Idk if I just keep getting the wrong books recommended or that's how today's books are.

Also, recommend me some more recent books with good prose, well written characters, medium/slow paced.

The only Kingsolver I've read was "The Bean Trees", which I loved. Didn't realize it was her debut novel at the time.

That's on my list. Hopefully I'll get to it in the next few months!
