4.0

Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa
4.0
Bittersweet. A little heavy-handed at times but still sad and sweet.
Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
4.25
I love horrible, despicable, no good characters and I love it when they get what they deserve.
The Silver Bone: The Kyiv Mysteries by Andrey Kurkov
4.0

The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai
5.0
Heartwarming, heartbreaking. I cried three times.
The Wood at Midwinter by Susanna Clarke

A perfectly unsettling Christmas tale with beautiful illustrations but it's just too short
