first of all that collections of classics behind you is absolutely stunning!!!! and secondly you HAVE to read perfume and pain by anna dorn!!! read it earlier this year and it’s one of my favorites of the year
Hail Mary!! Can't wait for you to get to that one! And I've never heard of Exhalted but now I'm interested! OMG Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite books of all time, it literally changed my reading taste forever Omg literally why are we like the same person 😅 I'm also a vegetarian/almost vegan and since you mention Cardcapture Sakura, I have to mention the other manga by that publisher that is set in the same world (but can be read separately) -- xxxHolic! It's one of my favorite mangas and it's so magical & cozy but with a dash of darkness that CS doesn't have.
I hope I like those books as much as you do since we are the same person 😂 I just added xxxHolic to my cart- thanks so much for the rec! Hope you enjoy Exalted if you pick it up!!
The important question is, Kari, is a Blob of what?! 😂 Seriously, great list. I think you'll love Murakami. Some say he's a massive sexist, but it's all about artist vs art, which sadly, lots miss the point on. I was lucky enough to hear Murakami talk years ago at a Writers Festival here, and he was the sweetest, funniest man! Word of warning though, Norwegian Wood was his 1st book, and he now doesn't like it lol. I want to read some of these books in 2025 as well, including Lolita.
Such a fun list!! Have fun working through them!

Good question, I’m nervous to find out 😅
I hope I like Murakami more than he likes himself then lol but your confidence in me liking him is promising!
