Battle royaleKōshun Takami
Loved it

it was also so much more for me what really brought the story to life is even though it has so many characters the author spends a remarkable amount of time really developing each one

BloomDelilah S. Dawson
Loved it

I really adore the pros and because of that it strangely has a cozy quality to it I think that in the age where the Aesthetics of cozy cottage core have become just hugely prevalent around the internet I think that this book really plays into that coziness

Cat's EyeMargaret Atwood
Loved it

it's a story that again plays into the role of dark toxic female friendships which is a genre that has become very popular but also something that I love and it really takes it into a smart interesting direction that I personally really enjoyed

I found this book really intriguing it does have some messed up moments that I did not need in the book I don't know why they were there and so I'm just kind of ignoring them otherwise this book would have to be a bit lower in my rating but ignoring those strange Parts overall I think this book was fantastic

Lost SoulsPoppy Z. Brite
Loved it

I thought the pros again were beautiful I've really come to find myself appreciating really nice writing which was immediately present here it's a gripping story

Moon LakeJoe R. Lansdale
Loved it

this one is very beautiful in nature I found myself very emotionally pulled by it made me very sad and had a lot of big feelings as I was going through it

Night's EdgeLiz Kerin
Loved it

I adored this book when I read it was exactly what I was looking for so satisfying and really has completely changed my mind on vampire fiction in general

RainbirdsUnknown
Loved it

it's a story that is just chilling and I want to say haunting even if it's not horror it just left me very unsettled it was incredibly atmospheric

The Secret HistoryDonna Tartt
Loved it

it's low it's dark you spend time with the characters who are all I should mention very privileged and unlikable in their nature but very purposely done so as long as you're someone like me who enjoys an unlikable character if it's intentional I had a great time with this one
