[QUOTE="RadFemHedonist, post: 623247, member: 1416"] Not manga or LNs but I read all of Ariadne by Jennifer Saint and started reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, I would thoroughly recommend Ariadne, it was a fascinating, feminist retelling of the story of the women who helped Theseus defeat the Minotaur, and were betrayed by him, from their perspective. Waterstones shortlisted it for Book of the Year 2021 and I'm not surprised, it's written beautifully and I kept connecting more things as I read through it in a way that was very satisfying, like little things that foreshadow events really well but subtly. The Thursday Murder Club is a warm, witty, thoroughly entertaining book about four OAPs who live in a luxury retirement village and solve a murder case together. It's written with great kindness yet full of moments that made me chuckle and laugh out loud :) [/QUOTE]
