https://www.readyourcolor.com/ is a free quiz that asks you to choose whether or not you would read or pass on a variety of books based on a brief description and then spits out what colour of reader you are. It also suggests a number of titles you might like to read. I felt like my result was pretty accurate. If you take the quiz, let me know what colour you are!

BarbaraBB I was a bit of most with blue and read both 30%. However few of the 24 blurbs appealed to me! 4d
thebacklistbook Orange and blue were tied for me but it only showed me the write up for Orange. 4d
DGRachel The first pass gave me a tie between red and orange and declared me an orange reader. I took it again and was overwhelmingly a red reader. Both descriptions seem accurate. The book recommendations - a little less so. Fun quiz, though. Like @BarbaraBB very few of the blurbs sounded interesting. 4d
TheLudicReader @DGRachel the book recs offered were mostly books I‘d read. The first one was Everything I Never Told You and as I loved that book I suddenly felt like this quiz knew me better than I knew myself. Lol. 3d

“Or maybe, all this time, it‘s been trying to tell us something else.” Hana held his rain-streaked face.
“Like what?” Keishin brought his lips next to hers.
“That we belong to each other.”

Strange Pictures, by Uketsu (2022, transl. 2025)

Premise: Apparently disconnected creepy stories fit together to create a disturbing story.

Review: WOW! I can‘t say too much about this without spoiling anything. But, if you love a mystery and can stomach some violence and disturbing imagery, do yourself a favour and read this!

Bookish Pair: For another Japanese puzzle story, Kinae Minato‘s Confessions (2010, transl. 2014)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thought the funniest line in the book was when Waka‘s grandma told her, “A lot of Japanese women, their butts are quite flat. You should be happy yours isn‘t.” 😂😂

As it turns out, I am beginning to enjoy biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs more than I thought I would, especially ones written for young adult readers. I like how this one felt like a fiction story about a young girl and not a chronological list of facts about the author‘s life. It made the reading easy and enjoyable.
