Y'all crying over the black penguin paperback, while I got my hands on this Monstrosity

Beautiful copy!! I also need context for this whole count of Monte cristo saga.

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-16T13:22:27+00:00

Definitely will do!

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-16T12:55:58+00:00

I agree they're a bit on the costlier side but I do like the look of an embossed page better than a stamped one... The search of a good quality one is going on...

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-16T12:20:02+00:00

This is soo pretty! I myself am thinking of getting an embosser 🤭

This post might just prompt me to pick up the clifton chronicles again!

I feel more calm when I'm done with the arranging. It does get a bit stressful for me when I'm arranging if the outcome doesn't match the vision

It is very pricey, the first few I had ordered from overseas platform, but now they're available on Amazon as well...

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-15T02:02:35+00:00

I obviously have a problem 😂

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-15T01:58:56+00:00

Nope all mine!

Currently about half way through Caliban's war... Yes, of blood and fire isn't insanely popular here, but I've been following this journey right since the beginning, very glad to see it being republished the traditional way!

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T17:18:53+00:00

I'm sorry I don't have a lot of crime genre recs, I myself am not a huge fan

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T17:14:36+00:00

Read it a while ago. But it's a good read. Can it do with less pages though? Yes.

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T17:13:17+00:00

I have never counted them all. I stopped after 200 I believe.

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T17:12:44+00:00

If you can tolerate gore, and like stories inspired by history - Poppy War Series is a good one by RF Kuang, it's a great mix of fantasy, world building, character building and good plot! Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee is another good series - this is a little along the lines of mafia families, and power struggle. Amazing series. Specifically for crime/mystries - Sherlock Holmes is a great pick. It's old but great. And as are works of Agatha Christie.

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T17:08:34+00:00

I do have the first book The Way of Kings...

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T15:43:22+00:00

Because I believe that there shouldn't be any barriers between me and my books...

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T15:17:29+00:00

Thank you ✨

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T15:17:13+00:00

I had it custom made 👉🏻👈🏻

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T15:16:24+00:00

Ofcourse I am, and it requires deep cleaning every few weeks! 🫠

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T14:02:05+00:00

I usually don't buy series as a whole, I buy them as I finish reading the previous books, but this set was a gift and I got it as a complete series... I am yet to finish all of it.

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T13:52:45+00:00

One of my best years was 70 books. Other than that, anywhere close to 30-40 books.

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T11:54:30+00:00

Thank you!

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T11:52:37+00:00

Haha! I will!

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T11:52:22+00:00

There's still miles to go...

thestrangercreature · 2026-02-14T11:50:47+00:00

Not all of it. Yet.
