Build Your House Around My Body by Violet Kupersmith.

About halfway through and I still have no idea what I'm reading -- all I know is I'm really enjoying it so far.

Since my last check in, I started and finished Yellowface by RF Kuang. Read it in one day; the narrator was so insufferable I just had to know what would happen to her lmao.

Almost done with Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century by Kim Fu. I like reading short stories before bed because there's less chance of me staying up all night trying to finish a book haha. I like it so far, some stories more than others, but overall they're pretty solid.

Also around halfway through None of This is True by Lisa Jewell. It's stressing me out a bit, not sure in a good or bad way lol. Pretty decent so far and keeps me on my toes.

Remote island (or any isolated places) murder mysteries.

Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is my #1 most reread book, haha.

Well-written characters. It can have the most boring plot in the world, but if the characters (and interactions between characters) are well-writen, I'm down.

I haven't! It looks interesting, will definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Oh, he's the original writer one of my favorite anime of all time (Another)! I'll def check it out, thank you for the recommendation!
