Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
This was on my list for a while. Sadly, I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. Great story, but the execution was not my favorite.
I understand what Mary was going for, and writing this when she did is impressive, but it got tough to read at times listening to Victor

Somewhere Beyond The Sea by TJ Klune
Follow up to a book I absolutely adore, and I loved this book too. Was fun getting to revisit these wonderful characters again. Klune books continue to make me happy anytime I read them

Neuromancer by William Gibson
Was excited to finally get through this book after hearing how influential it was. Super fun read that was interesting to see how much it invented vs combined in way to feel like a definitive cyberpunk work. Definitely worth checking out

We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
This book unfortunately fell flat for me. It wanted to be an approachable length while having a lot of hints and concepts for readers to speculate on. This left it feeling hollow, like it couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

Strange Pictures by Uketsu
The premise is being presented with drawings and trying to see what clues are hidden in them, all through a narrative that slowly spells out what the mystery/answer is. Fun and short experience, but just an ok read. Good for a change of pace.

The King in Yellow by Robert W Chambers
Finally got around to this book after hearing about it's impact for so long. It's just a subset of loosely linked short stories, making it a quick read. Worth checking out if you're into seeing a major inspiration for cosmic horror.

Babel by R.F. Kuang
Fantastic work of historical fiction. Equal parts well written fiction, commentary on colonialism, and an english major info dumping on various language etymologies. Highly recommend.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Great read, it's as gay and sad as I kept hearing it was. It lives up to the hype that's persisted for years. Loved it from beginning to end.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
Great book that I checked out after having it recommended from multiple people of varying tastes. Loved the first half in particular for how well it made you understand the main character's thought process
Easily goes in the category of books that any person could enjoy

Ravensong by TJ Klune
Second book in the Green Creek series, and it continues everything I love from Wolfsong.
It did a great job of filling in the gaps from the previous book without feeling like I was reading the same thing over again. Klune delivers again, and I can't wait for the next one.

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers
Another great book, I might like it more than the first one. A short read that had me smiling softly most of the way through as it had fun with philosophy.
Left me feeling really calm and helped make me think that somehow, we'll all be ok.

Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
A great sci-fi read that also felt like a gothic horror story. Very different from the movie, which I'm a big fan of, but it still got its hooks in me.
Definitely recommend checking it out for yourself, and I'm going to pick up the other books in the trilogy soon.

A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers
A short, sweet novel I liked a lot. Maintains a light, slice of life feel while touching on religious and philosophical questions. An enjoyable read I can recommend for anyone, and I'm excited for the second in the duology.

The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
I expected a horror story and it ended up being a thriller. Had a very fun writing style that made good use of unreliable narrators in a way that made sense. Interesting read, definitely recommend checking it out

Another cute story from Klune
He's one of my favorite authors, always writing in a style that's inviting and fun to read
An interesting spin on the adventure of Pinocchio

Graveyard Shift by M.L. Rio
Short and enjoyable read
A quick mystery you can enjoy in a small handful of sittings (I think two or three in my case)
It made me determined to check out the author's other book which I've passed over before on previous book store trips

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman
I liked this book a lot, very well paced moment to moment
Had a unique and snappy writing style that kept things succinct and moving forward at all times
Dark, but didn't feel like it was just trying to be edgy
Definitely recommend
