My own best of the year was nine books: The Inheritance Games, The Sun-Down Motel, The Project, Last Call, Blacktop Wasteland, The Only Good Indians, Bitterblue, The Fire Keeper's Daughter, and The Turnout. Of my list, I think you would be interested in The Only Good Indians. Of your list, I've only read The House of Mirth, which I read a very long time ago. I also rarely read anything super old and wonder if I've lost the hang of it, but to be fair I didn't love reading very old stuff even in school. My favorite "old" author was Willa Cather, and I don't know how I'd feel about My Antonia and O Pioneers now, and I don't know if I'll ever re-read them. I might rather keep my memory of enjoying them in college!

I loved Can't we talk about something more pleasant too! - read it in 2020 and it was a revelation, I bought it for my parents this year. The Copenhagen trilogy is on my list to read, but I don't remember where I got that recommendation so I must be part of the people convinced by the publicity campaign :)
