I am currently reading the 'Revenge of Seven' by Pittacus Lore. It is part of the 'I am Number Four' series. I definitely recommend for anyone. It's a real page turner.

I can't resist a good YA spy fiction, so I'm about to start Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger!

Next on on my reading pile (on my radio) is Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff! ^-^

Haruki Murakami's pretty famous for his contemporary fictional work. I'm almost done with "Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche", one of his (lesser known) non-fictions and I must say,

damn. This book is fucking riveting. My commutes to uni haven't been more moving than the past few days and the book just sends me to class feeling strange.

I am currently reading 'The Girl with all the Gifts'!
It's a dystopian book centring around contagious disease.
It's all in third person so I'm getting used to the third person again as I always usually read books that have first person.

Another Japanese author I'd recommend is Keigo Higashino. All his best selling books are real page turners, and his stories are so well-crafted that he'll never cease to impress you. Some I've read are The Devotion of Suspect X (so so so amazing), Naoko, Malice, The Name of the Game is Kidnapping, and others I can't remember off the top of my head.

Currently reading Daniel Defoe by Robinson Crusoe. It's a classic and a bit wordy, might read a bit more about it online to make sure I understand haha.
