The Secret History
My rating: ★★★★½
Year: 1992
Genres: Horror
Content Warnings: hover to reveal (spoilers!)
Do you like dark academia? Do you like fucked up characters that bond over horrible things? Do you enjoy hating characters? Are you insane? If you've answered Yes to any of these questions, read this book. It's long, but it's worth it.
It's an old book, and it takes you on a journey through the world's oceans. Some sections are a bit boring (mostly descriptions of various sea creatures), but everything else is great. Read it if you like retro-futurism.
The perfect book for if you're in a reading slump, because it's hilarious from literally the first sentence on, and it never gets boring. I highly recommend the audio book too!
Watership Down
My rating: ★★★★
Year: 1972
Genres: Classics, Fantasy

Do you like Warrior Cats? Well, here's something similar but with rabbits! It's quite gorey and even scary at times, nothing for children! Also watch the classic movie.
Yeah. It's awesome. What can I say. Fuck the author. Fun fact: I'm one of those rare people whose favorite character is Harry.
Warriors
My rating: ★★★★★
Year: 2003
Genres: Fantasy, Xenofiction

I read this series as a kid and recently re-read it, thinking that it's going to be childish, but it wasn't. It holds up very well. The plot and the characters are just great. If you like cats (who doesn't? let's be real) read it!
This used to be my favorite book. It's a quick read, and I really like it. There's not much more I can say to it. Time to re-read it. Again.
Flowers in the Attic
My rating: ★★★★½
Year: 1979
Genres: Horror

I once googled 'What's the most fucked up book?' and this came up. I read it, and it did not disappoint. It's really, really fucking good though.
My favorite non-fiction book. I picked this up without knowing anything about it because it was on sale, and it blew my mind. I love the first section especially, which is about pre-history. This book changed the way I look at life.
This is a great non-fiction book about human sexuality. The focus lies on how polyamory is natural, and monogamy is cultural. As a polyamorous person, this gave me so much joy. I'M NORMAL, YOU'RE THE WEIRD ONES.
