★ 5On the Calculation of Volume I
Solvej Balle
A woman wakes to the same day, November 18th, over and over, and Balle turns that premise into something quietly hypnotic. The first in a series I did not expect to be so hooked on.
This Time Tomorrow
Emma Straub
A woman turns 40, then wakes up at 16 with her young, healthy father downstairs. A time-travel novel that's really about loving your parents. I teared up.

Colson Whitehead
A literary zombie novel set in a half-cleared Manhattan. Whitehead's prose is the real draw here. Bleak and brilliant.
