Politics, power, and a cliffhanger that broke me. Read my Season 3 thoughts on The Diplomat.
Welcome to Chapter & Clue—part reading journal, part curiosity cabinet. Here, every book is a case to be opened and every idea a clue worth following. From mysteries to romance, fantasy to contemporary fiction, I share the stories that intrigue, delight, and surprise me.
But it’s not just about books. You’ll also find my musings on anime, films, travels, and the occasional list of whims and wonders. Think of it as my collection of notes, scribbles, and discoveries—all filed here, waiting to be explored.
A case that begins with two missing tigers unravels into a chase filled with danger, blurred justice, and quiet tension. Escape Clause explores how far people will go when the stakes are high.
Book gift shopping = accidental self-gifting. 😆
Sometimes, you just want to reread (and maybe sometimes, just listen to) a classic.
The premise for this one sounds so promising. I pre-ordered it but had to finish another book first. Finally diving in now.

I’ve journeyed through Middle-earth before, but this illustrated copy with those dreamy sprayed edges is calling my name.
Someday...
The cover feels just as fantastical as the story itself, and the illustrations inside only add to the magic. Too bad the price is way out of reach—but maybe someday I’ll be able to bring this edition home.
Yet another Folio Society gem I can’t afford—but I can daydream for free.
This isn’t a TBR list—it’s a full-blown evidence warehouse. If I actually cataloged everything, we’d need an archivist. Let’s just say: too many books, not enough lifetimes. (Happily doomed, though!)
Disclaimer: Not the full TBR — just the part I’ve managed to log.
