I know these authors are wildly different in genre and style. I just happen to love them both and have read multiple books by each. I love the weird magical realism of Murakami, and the subtle dark/slightly uncomfortable vibe that many of his books have. It’s not super dark or horrific, but mildly unsettling.

I also love Mhairi McFarlane as a romance/women’s fiction writer. Her writing is beautiful and emotional. As an American, I find the Scottish and British scenery and cultures to be a bit novel and fun. I also like that her books have some depth to them but they are still more or less “feel good” reads.

Open to specific book recommendations or authors in general. Thanks!
