Vicious - V.E. Schwab I didn't think I'd ever be so into a superhero book but once again V.E. Schwab has proven me wrong. I read this book last year and I have not stopped thinking about Victor Vale. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ |

Neuromancer - William Gibson Tight, dense, expressive prose I hope to emulate someday. I do love that in his version of the cyberpunk future we don't have cell phones. Minus one star for creating the Cyberpunk Razorgirl™ though. Rating: ☆☆☆☆ |

Akira - Katsuhiro Otomo "Isn't this a movie?" you ask. Yes, but I've read it & like it more than the movie. There's so much more to it than the two-hour film. An exploration of capitalism & nuclear terror taken to one of its natural conclusions. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ |

Oyasumi Punpun - Inio Asano I read this once and vowed not to read it again until I was in a better place mentally. Rereading it a couple years ago, um. Holy shit. A story about childhood trauma, and about not growing past it. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ |
 |
Butter - Asako Yuzuki A book about the ways in which women exist parallel to each other, intertwined with the lives of men, and about finding your place in your community. Even if it is unconventional. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ |

Recursion - Blake Crouch What happens when a disease causes people across the world to remember false memories? Loved the twists, loved the ending, even if it was terribly bittersweet. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ |

Chainsaw Man - Tatsuki Fujimoto Still working my way through. Only sped through the first part, haven't touched the second. I remember liking it, the characters, and the premise. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ | In Progress |

D.Gray-Man - Hoshino Katsura I have been following this one since I was in high school. It's turning into something lovely and it's very fun to see a whole bunch of narrative threads coming together at the moment. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ | In Progress |

House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski I'm going to be honest, it's been so long since I made progress on this one that I have no idea what's going on anymore. I remember liking it, and experiencing a profound horror I'd never seen in fiction before. Rating: ☆☆☆☆ | In Progress |

Undead Unluck - Yoshifumi Tozuka "Read Undead Unluck. I'm no longer asking." Okay, I will. Turns out, it's really fun! Maybe not the best one to start on a flight. But otherwise: this has everything I like, so far. Rating: ☆☆☆☆ | In Progress |
