    Finished BPRD omnibus 3. The best one yet.


    I just caught up to here as well. GARDEN OF SOULS and KILLING GROUND were both phenomenal.

    Updated again with new suggestions. Thank you both Gabriele and PG. Lots of very intriguing books here.

    I'm now right about halfway on P&P. Overall, I find this one to be an ok novel. I don't hate it, but I'm also not finding a lot to love. Clearly there's been a lot of setup in the last quarter though, so maybe the events during the second half will win me over more. I will say that I do see the importance of the work overall though.

    You finally convinced me to buy a handfull of coins. No regrets. Those 3 episodes were phenomenal.

    Kobo has the WITCHFINDER Omnis half off. So that completes pretty much everything.

    So 2024 was a really good year for me for reading and there were several books that really stood out to me. No particular order on these.

    THE CITY AND IT'S UNCERTAIN WALLS - Haruki Murakami. I know I said that these aren't in a particular order, but I think this one is my top read of the year. I'll say that ymmv on this, but this was very much a book that I needed to read when I read it. This one has less of the odd sex stuff that his novels can contain and is very very introspective and has a large focus on how people protect themselves after trauma and loss. .


    I have this on my Xmas list. Excited to get it. Question, is it a spriritual sequel to HARD BOILED WONDERLAND AND THE END OF THE WORLD, or is it an actual sequel? Like do I need to reread that one, or can I go into this one clean?


    I have to confess that I went in without rereading HARD BOILED WONDERLAND AND THE END OF THE WORLD, and that is likely the Murakami novel I remember the least as I read it over a decade ago. THE CITY AND IT'S UNCERTAIN WALLS stands well on it's own, but I do wonder if I would have pulled even more out of it had I reread HBWATEOTW first.

    Another thing to note is that there was a new translation for that one that dropped this year: END OF THE WORLD AND HARD BOILED WONDERLAND. I'm strongly considering picking that up this upcoming year based on how deeply TCAIUW touched me.
