Middle of the Night by Riley Sager
most of the endings this author writes i find a little silly but they’re fun, atmospheric reads so i continue to read regardless
The Shortest History of England by James Hawes
i understand the criticisms this book received but overall it was an educational and interesting read for me that helped me gain a better understanding of the origins of class division in this country and the overall history of england from the time of the romans so i would definitely recommend
A Crane Among Wolves by June Hur
the relationship between iseul and her sister was my favourite part of this book. the story was also a stark reminder of how women are treated during war & the sexual crimes that are inflicted upon them from both the enemy’s side & their own side alike, that are often forgotten about
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
i understand why this book is a classic, it’s beautifully written & was so easy & enjoyable to read, so many themes were explored relating to gender & it’s norms for both men & women, sexuality & class, & the isolation, restrictions & conflict that they all can bring.
i heard of this book from it being mentioned in Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski which is also a great book.

The Invisible Hotel by Yeji Y. Ham
I wouldn’t call this a conventional horror book if that’s what you’re looking for but it was an interesting story on generational trauma against the background of capitalist, modern day south korea and I enjoyed the metaphorical narrative
Pyramid Game by Dalgonyak
honestly I don’t know why they decided to change harin and jaeun’s backstory in the drama when it was the most interesting part of the webtoon. also suji and jaeun <333
A Bookshop in Algiers by Kaouther Adimi
