A summary of some media I consumed this past year. 2025 has been an interesting year for me, a lot of art, visited Japan, made some home improvements. Things are tough for a lot of people, be patient, and help each other out. I wish all of you the best for 2026! #media2025

#media2025 The Underwood Tapes by Amanda DeWitt
Went into this thinking it would be more of a mystery/thriller and turned out more introspective/emotional. Not bad, just not what I was expecting

#media2025 What Stalks the Deep by T. Kingfisher
There may be creatures lurking in this book but the horror comes from the descriptions of the claustrophobic coal mines where most of the plot takes place. Thanks, I hate it! (positive)

#media2025 Strange Houses by Uketsu
The author comes across a bizarre floor plan and stumbles into a mystery involving murder and missing persons. Most of the book is a couple of guys sitting around staring at house floor plans and yet it's utterly riveting.
