Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
Do you have any book recommendations? (also I love your writing so so much and I hope you're having a wonderful day T_T)
Oh my gosh!! So so many. I'm going to narrow it down to three that I've really enjoyed recently to keep things short! otherwise, i might hit whatever word limit is set for these replies . . . ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ
Before the coffee gets cold - Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Short, sweet, and I, embarrassingly, teared up a little as I was reading ( reading, very appropriately, in a cafe with a cup of coffee ). The translation work might feel rough, but it really captures the vibe of Japanese storytelling and Japanese dialogue, especially. I felt right at home reading it.
Black Dhalia, Red Rose - Piu Eatwell
Eatwell is excellent at what she does. She's got training as a lawyer, access to FBI documents, and a stunning review of the material culture left from the Black Dhalia murder and uses it all to present a SUPER tight case for what really happened January 1947. Admittedly, when I picked it up in the bookstore, I skimmed the first chapter not expecting much. But she just grabs you with her writing, and I'm honestly inclined to believe her, despite having some doubts myself because of other circumstances around other suspects. Really great work on her part.
lastly, on a lighter note
Gosh, thank you so much. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoy my writing agh it means the world. I hope you're having a wonderful day! TYSM!! <3
