I am convinced that there’s not a book written that can’t be improved by the addition of a Sassy Robot Sidekick.
Or a robot with depression
Creepy, gothic haunted house? Count me in.
[off topic?]
There are a few series that I can read over and over. Nero Wolfe by Rex Stout. Travis McGee by John D. MacDonald, and Easy Rawlins by Walter Mosley spring to mind.
Mosley’s books are outliers, because Easy changes with time. McGee and Wolfe remain perfect examples of the sort of life most of us dream about.
I like time travel, if that’s a trope. I’m always looking for a new take on it as many different stories using it have already been told.

You might enjoy The Anomaly by Hervé le Tellier. Not time travel exactly, but some of the same issues crop up.
@gabeCheck out Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel, it’s such a good book!
I recently finished Station Eleven and honestly thought it was a bit boring. After that read I was put off of that author. Is Sea of Tranquility on par with Station Eleven? Should I reconsider?
Ooh yeah, if you didn’t enjoy Station Eleven, then you probably wouldn’t enjoy Sea of Tranquility. It’s not exactly the same, but it’s close in terms of style and structure.
Have you read Recursion by Blake Crouch? That was the most interesting to take on time travel I’ve read in a while.
No I haven’t, but it looks good. I have read The Wayward Pines Trilogy and Dark Matter, both by Crouch. I liked the Pines. Dark Matter was okay.
Thanks for the tip.
The grumpy and sunshine duo makes my day every time!
Have you read the Riyria Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan? The main duo is a solid 10/10
Remote island (or any isolated places) murder mysteries.
Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is my #1 most reread book, haha.
Have you read the moai island puzzle by Alice arisugawa? Fits your trope perfectly and even tho the English translation was wonky sometimes, I thought it was a good book
I haven’t! It looks interesting, will definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Try “The Decagon House Murders” by Yukito Ayatsuji - lots of similarities to “And then there were none”
Oh, he’s the original writer one of my favorite anime of all time (Another)! I’ll def check it out, thank you for the recommendation!
Always been a fan of traveling, but especially Quest to the West.
