   Here are a few books I recently finished reading: 1. Just finished reading this one while staying up all night. It's all about villains, and the author's descriptions of emotions are chilling (though they're not normal emotions). It's full of twists and turns, completely unconventional. Just believe that the female lead will never abandon or betray you. 2. An ensemble piece, a post-apocalyptic story. I feel the author did consider the readers a little; at least the five main characters survived to the end in thrills and excitement. The pacing is great, making you feel like you're being chased by zombies. Several times I thought the main characters were going to die. A story about women, it shows great respect for women, giving most of the highlights to female characters. We girls are so powerful! 3. The quality of *The Golden Branch* needs no introduction. Political intrigue, no romance, a satisfying read, also a story about women. 4. I've finished reading Canlan's books. Strong female leads, talent + hard work, every book suits my taste, especially *Li Shu* and *Li Yang*.
