5 years of reading superlatives
The best and worst of 250 books
And Then There Were None: My all-time favorite mystery. //
Beyond Possible, memoir of a Nepali mountaineer: Most life-changing. //
Celia’s Song: Best literary (pure perfection!). // The
Decagon House Murders: Most shocking reveal I have
EVER seen in a mystery. // The
Frangipani Tree Mystery: Best Singaporean murder. //
Greatest medical books: The Upward Spiral,
How Not to Die. // Weirdest book I've ever read:
I Crawl Through It (I did not enjoy this). // Narwhalicorn and
Jelly: Most excessively shrill energy. // Favorite living author: Dawn
Kurtagich. (My other fav is Agatha Christie.) // Most thrilling
locked-room mystery: The Honjin Murders. // Severely depressing book I
most hated by far: The Gifts of Imperfection. // My favorite
Nancy Drew (I've read 24): The Secret of the Golden Pavilion. // The
only audiobooks I've really enjoyed: the Nancy Drew Diaries series.
(Physical reading just can't be beat!) //
Quokka is about my favorite animal. // Uzumaki deserves horror
recognition for giving me a phobia of
shiitake mushrooms. // And the
Trees Crept In is my actual favorite horror:
utterly atmospheric, deeply touching. // Fav spooky middle grade: Dead
Voices. // Best manga series (It's unbelievably cute!):
Wonder Cat Kyuu-chan. // My favorite romance: The Dragon's Bride
(XXX with a humanoid dragon man, and
yes, I have terrible taste. This is a judgment-free
zone!)
