Silent Parade: A Detective Galileo Novel

Keigo Higashino
mairi spaceship πŸš€βœ¨mairi spaceship πŸš€βœ¨

At the start of the year I was away on a work trip and I binged through murder mystery books. They were: "Silent Parade" & "Malice" both by Keigo Higashino (it's funny because I thought the latter was a sequel and whoops IT WAS NOT), but also Kwon Yeo-Sun's novel "Lemon". https://t.co/EzX8EOnpYX

The Supernatural Enhancements

Edgar Cantero
mairi spaceship πŸš€βœ¨mairi spaceship πŸš€βœ¨

The other genre that defines my year is ARG/Puzzle-ish. Some stand-outs have been Terry Miles' "Rabbits", Edgar Cantero's "The Supernatural Enhancements" and (lol) Cain's Jawbone of course. I'm pretty sure for all of these I had to google "explained" after. https://t.co/PKUMXk98T5

Nemesis

Isaac Asimov
mairi spaceship πŸš€βœ¨mairi spaceship πŸš€βœ¨

I also went on a bit of a space sci-fi one this year with James S.A. Corey's "Nemesis Games", Isaac Asimov's "Caves of Steel", Andy Weir's "Project Hail Mary", and I suppose also Tillie Walden's graphic novel "On a Sunbeam" counts too. https://t.co/EdCpRq8MUd
