Hello I’m fairly new to reading and am wanting to see what books people recommend and why, also i really enjoy horror/mystery!

My taste is a bit all over the place, but the last few books I read and loved are:

  • Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
  • Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
  • Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
  • Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

They're all very different from each other so fair warning to you!
