Unforgettable Adventure
a never-ending arcs of missions, motivations, revenges, and other exciting stuff
1000+ pages but dont worry, you won't feel the time passing by quickly. Worry about getting attached to the character as the amazing adventure of Dantes rolls out! The sweetest revenge story is served perfectly. It is ABSOLUTELY my latest classic fav...
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
The weirdest and most amusing one yet. Follow the life of the Devil and his underlings as they wreak havoc on Soviet Moscow, turning the city's corrupt elite upside down. Woven alongside is a retelling of Pontius Pilate and a tragic love story that c...
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
Emotional Rollercoaster
This was a different experience for me. Hugely different from what I've read before. Les Misérables is an emotional journey of Jean Valjean AND a collection of essays. Sometimes, the essays are kinda hard to get through. But, interesting point of vie...
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
one of the shortest classic i've read. But, it's my FIRST favorite. It's fascinating to see Dorian's state of mind and corruption. Many of their moral statements are very questionable. On its adventure-side, it was so gripping too!
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
A powerful psychological novel about a man who commits a crime and then slowly unravels under the weight of guilt. What makes it unforgettable isn’t the crime itself, but the mental spiral that follows. The anxiety, paranoia, and constant inner confl...
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Follow two perspectives: the ambitious scientist, Victor Frankenstein, and the being he brings to life. What stayed with me most was the monster’s voice, his loneliness, confusion, and longing for acceptance were deeply moving.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Detective Mysteries
My original comfort read. Quite a fan of Agatha Christie's work. But will try to explore more authors!
My number one of Agatha Christie's mystery. Obviously, I cannot say much about it, but well, I was flabbergasted. I felt a bit ridiculous after knowing the culprit. Enjoy the ride of guessing!
Crooked House by Agatha Christie
This time, I love the couple as main characters. Their dynamic are pretty fun for a detective mystery. I have a soft spot for them. The mystery is pretty good too! Some intense moments for sure.
Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie
Such a thrilling ride! The chilling legend of a cursed hound, and the slow build-up of suspense kept me hooked the entire time. It perfectly blends gothic horror vibes with brilliant detective work.
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Love is in the air
Rarely read classical romance, but well, hopefully in the future
This book is famous for a reason and it lived up to the hype for me. I rarely read classical romance, but well I'm glad I tried it. The slow-burn romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy is satisfying to watch. Seeing them slowly realize their ...
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
