"The raptors of the world understood only one language."

"As it turns out, one can revisit the past quite pleasantly, as long as one does so expecting nearly every aspect of it to have changed."

This whole series is just wow. 💕

"Revenge is ultimately unsatisfying. It can't make up for the evil done to you, but can destroy the remaining good in your life."

"Dead is the change you can't take back, dead is the mistake that can't be unmade."

Libby Day is the sole survivor of the murder of her whole family back when she was seven years old. Twenty-odd years later she's trying to figure out the real truth behind the events of that day.
This was my third book by Gillian Flynn and she's just brilliant. 💕

"Some people were matches, a bit of light and no heat. And some were furnaces, all heat but little light. And then, once in a blue moon, there was a bonfire, something so hot and bright you couldn't stand too near without burning."

"We rise and we fall and then we rise once more. We're all on different paths, but death doesn't discriminate. It comes for everyone. It's what you do with it that sets you apart."

Piranesi lives in the House where Sea Water laps at the Lower Halls, Tides sometimes flood entire Vestibules, where Clouds form in the Upper Halls and Statues cover every Wall. He is the Beloved Child of the House until strange occurrences start to happen and he has to consider the possibility that things weren't always as they are now and that he might not remember crucial details as to how he came to be where he is. ⬇️

Probably the best anthology I've ever read.

Flavia is an extremely clever 11 year old girl who lives with her father and two sisters at Buckshaw. One day a dead body turns up in their cucumber patch and she has to take matters into her own hands and investigate.
I do love cheeky young female MCs; this was a fun mystery.

Zafón continues what he started in The Shadow of the Wind: eerie 1920s Barcelona atmosphere, magic realism, intrigue and love, and a passion for books and storytelling. Can't wait for the third book to arrive.

I almost bailed on this but I'm glad I didn't. Full review on GoodReads

This book is set in Berlin, 2011, where the 56-years-old Hitler unexpectedly finds himself. It is hilarious and morbid at the same time, and sometimes frighteningly realistic.

This was a story with a uniquely eerie atmosphere — there are people who are being bred to later donate their vital organs, but the story is not so much about that, it focuses more on the characters and their bringing up at this boarding school, how they drift apart and then find each other again later on, and how they cope with the fact that they're going to have to donate their organs sooner or later.

This took quite a while to finish due to the arrival of my PS5, a week of vacation and a 3-day reenacting event. 🙄 I wouldn't call it 'fast-moving' as a blurb says on the back, but I liked it well enough.

Alice, mother of three, finds a strange man on the beach outside her house in a 'fugue state', a temporary loss of memory. A grisly story is slowly emerging as he's regaining his memories.

Gruesome story of Rudolf Lang and the organization and development of concentration camps throughout the Third Reich.
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

This book took me to a place I never read about before: the distant peninsula of Kamchatka. The story loosely follows the events unfolding after the kidnapping of two young girls and deals with many different aspects of life on the peninsula: the tension between Russians and indigenous people, the conversion to a new way of life after the collapse of the USSR, or the difficulty of leaving the peninsula and restarting life elsewhere. 👇🏻

Jamie Conklin is a kid born with an unusual talent: he can see dead people for a few days after they die. The interesting part is that the dead must tell him the truth, whatever he asks.

An interesting alternative historical fiction novel that plays with the idea of how things would've been had Hungary won the 1848-49 war of independence against the Habsburgs. Elaborately detailed internal affairs and foreign politics, economic and social relations spiced up with spying, gunfights and bombings.

Oh man, this really is a chronicle. So here comes my #unpopularopinion: I don't mind reading a chunkster if there's good reason for it to be a chunkster. This whole 660 pages was just the beginning of Kvothe's life story which was interesting enough but I still felt like it could've been told in half the amount of pages and still not feel rushed. 🤷🏻‍♀️
