Sofi Thanhauser's Worn (nonfiction on the textile industry through modern history) must be up there for nonfiction -- precise, thorough, responsible, on a topic very dear to my heart.

But for fiction, it absolutely must be The Sentence by Louise Erdrich. I gave it a full review earlier in the year that I won't recap here, but suffice to say it is likely to be my touchstone "Covid book" for a very long time to come.
