People Having a Bad Time In and Around Lighthouses
I love a spooky lighthouse. Lighthouse-related horror, thriller and generally dark fiction. Especially good to read by a window during a storm.

breath of fresh air
tired of stereotypical YA? yes, me too. these are all the books I read when the YA genre was at its peak and they gave me a welcome break from reading overused tropes and monotonous storylines. this is a completely random list, these books have little to nothing in common, they just felt original when everything felt the same :) feel free to give your suggestions!
