    Gwynne sure does like mentioning the swinging of heavy testicles whenever there’s a troll in a scene 💀

    I know everyone is being really nice to her but I keep thinking “what about when the project is done? is she allowed to keep living while she knows their secret?” Maybe I’m just being paranoid

    Style is unusual for mysteries

    I've liked post-war Japanese mysteries, by Seishi Yokomizo and Seicho Matsumoto, better than this one. Maybe I like the 40s and 50s style better than the 80s? Or maybe I just don't like this author as well. It has a very different style than most mystery novels I'm used to, Japanese or other. The characters don't seem as real to me or something.

    I love the way John Green speaks so I had to listen on audiobook. He’s got such a great way he tells stories. I’m excited to hear how this one goes

    Which book are you looking most forward to reading in 2026?

    For me it's the new Six of Crows book coming out in June!
