Story of my life.

Now that I'm in my twenties, my taste has changed (although maybe not that much). The genres I enjoy are as follows:

- bicultural fiction and memoir
- coming-of-age stories
- nonfiction on the human body and what happens after death
- true crime, serial killer novels delving into the cases and also the psyches
- perhaps thrillers in general, though I don't read enough of them anymore
- classic horror & noir
