I've had a rough year so don't hate that I only got this far. As per the last list, I'll put in bold the ones that I really recommend, and I'll do the occasional italicized review. Let's hope and pray I at least make it to 50 books, to be honest though, I'm not sure I will at the rate I'm going.

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Trans Girl Suicide Museum by Hannah Baer
Sex and Vanity by Kevin Kwan
The Poppy War by R.F. Kwang, I am a huge fan of this author but this book was particularly bad and I won't be back for the sequel. It was slow, uninteresting and at times, flat out painful.
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
Chine Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan
Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan
Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh, I really was only interested towards the end when I realized that the narrator is most likely in psychosis. But it is very subtle and sneaks up on you as I too well know. The author does not make it clear that she is in psychosis but that's how I read it and it made for a much more interesting take.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore
Zero Days by Ruth Ware
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
11/22/63 by Stephen King, this was probably the best book I read all year, I didn't know Stephen King could do sci-fi this well. Usually, time travel groundhog day esque books get tired but this one needed every page, it was fast paced and interesting with a good twist.
The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion and the Fall of Imperial Russia by Candance Fleming
Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe
The Girl Who Survived Auschwitz by Eti Elboim, Sara Lebovits and Esther Frumkin
