some of my favorites

• the sherlock holmes series by sir arthur conan doyle
• totto chan: the little girl at the window by tetsuko kuroyanagi
• jakarta sebelum pagi by ziggy zezsyazeoviennazabrizkie
• the lonely castle in the mirror by mizuki tsujimura

(i want to add some non-fiction titles but the themes of the books do not really match the theme i have here...)
