To-read list.

I accept gifts and pre-loved books lol

Send me your recommendations for this list! I read a lot of science fiction, young adult dystopia, mysteries and thrillers, and general fiction dealing with mythology, coming-of-age, cultural insights, and reflections on life.

I have an affinity for Japanese and Chinese authors. I also have a penchant for novels written WELL in the first person point of view.
