#11. Harrow The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

10/10. Sci-fi/Fantasy. 556 pages.

I — am having a hard time finding words. I was enamored with Harrow in Gideon The Ninth, and fell in love with her even more in this book. I was confused the entire time, but not so confused that it made me want to stop reading. On the contrary, it made me want to keep going. I was working things out just as Harrow was. And my heart hurts for her. So fricken good. As we know, I like to listen to audiobooks as I read along with a physical copy. The audiobook for this series is excellent. I ran out of minutes partway through, so I had to read the rest in silence. My brain needs a rest before I start Nona.

#31: First Test: A Graphic Novel by Tamora Pierce, Devin Grayson, & Becca Farrow

"I did not agree to this, Your Majesty."

Rating: 4.5/5

Three Sentence Review: What a delightful little return to Tortall and Kel's story! While the tale was quite abridged, I understand why for the sake of space, and I thought the illustrations were gorgeous enough to make up for it. I hope this helps introduce a whole new generation to Tammy's books!

2024, you are leaving too soon!

I managed to read thirty books this year (I am counting The Regeneration Trilogy as three books, because, well, it IS three books - I just happened to read a copy that combined them into one physical book).

Similar to 2023, half of my book diet was nonfiction reads (and half again were about writing). I experimented a lot, chose prize winners and longlisters and read a couple of recommended books.

Q&A is under the cut ✂️

The Best One

Imperfect Garden: The Legacy of Humanism - Tzvetan Todorov

This was difficult to decide because a couple captured me for lots of different reasons. But, given my state of mind and the state of the world, Todorov’s Imperfect Garden lifted me. Sometimes when you look at humanity on a global scale it’s hard to be optimistic about where we’re heading. But this book reminded me about my humanist values and that there are more ways to view the world: a mandala seen from height is a blur, but up close is a kaleidoscope of colour. As individuals we are autonomous but with each other in view, we can arrange ourselves to make beautiful art. We should never forget that.

The Surprising One

Piranesi - Susanna Clarke

This is my second year of reviewing my reading list, and just like last year my surprising read was one I never would have picked for myself and never heard of. This time, it was a work colleague who recommended it, then I convinced my work book club to read it. I've been complaining about not have a woman author whose work I would read no matter what, and I think I've found her. Clarke did something incredible with this book: she picked me right up out of my own reality and supplanted me in Piranesi's strange world of Statues and Halls, and made something frightening utterly wonderful. I fell in love with Piranesi's world, his innocent joy of it, the ease with which he lives within in it because he respects its Power and Knowing (so glad they're turning it into a movie). But as I discussed in my work book club, was his world so very different from ours?

The Not So Great One

The Gospel According to the New World - Maryse Condé

I almost didn’t include this category, such was the calibre of books this year. But I’m forcing myself because it’s important to talk about. Maryse Condé’s The Gospel According to the New World was difficult for me but I think that may have been part of its point. Putting aside the storyline that loosely follows Christian tellings of Jesus (I drew hard on Sunday School memories to keep up), the world she paints and the culture she paints is so removed from my own experience that I had trouble connecting to it. But this is the rub, right? People like to see themselves and their experiences in the books they read, which can make it awfully difficult for minority writers to get a leg up. I haven’t written Condé off; I just think this wasn’t the best book of hers to start with. She died in April this year but left an incredible legacy, so I have plenty more to choose from. Feel free to drop me a recommendation!

The Best One About Writing

A Swim in the Pond in the Rain - George Saunders

Hands down, one hundred percent my favourite of the year. Reading short stories and then walking through them with Saunders was a fun game: I’d read them, figure out what I liked and what I thought the story was about, and then see how much lined up with the author. I was absolutely chuffed when we had the same favourite passage in one of them! They (the ever elusive they) say that reading improves writing and this book proves it. I highly recommend this to any writers who are looking to deepen their enjoyment of the written word, or who are looking to become more ‘literary’ in their craft.

[cultivating-wildflowers]

“Perhaps it is no wonder that the women were first at the Cradle and last at the Cross. They had never known a man like this Man -- there never has been such another. A prophet and teacher who never nagged at them, never flattered or coaxed or patronised; who never made arch jokes about them, never treated them either as "The women, God help us!" or "The ladies, God bless them!"; who rebuked without querulousness and praised without condescension; who took their questions and arguments seriously; who never mapped out their sphere for them, never urged them to be feminine or jeered at them for being female; who had no axe to grind and no uneasy male dignity to defend; who took them as he found them and was completely unself-conscious. There is no act, no sermon, no parable in the whole Gospel that borrows its pungency from female perversity; nobody could possibly guess from the words and deeds of Jesus that there was anything "funny" about woman's nature.”

What a thing to say

[no1islost]

8. Gideon The Ninth

7/10. SciFi Fantasy. 475 pages

I really wanted to love this book. It has such a following. It wasn’t until I was 3/4 of the way through did I get hooked. But then it was over. My biggest problem is that I was confused the entire time. I’m still unclear on the world-building and the point of it all. BUT I did love Gideon and Harrowhark. I wish that relationship was flushed out more instead of them all of a sudden saying things like, “I can’t imagine a world without you” etc etc right at the very end. I will say that I am very interested in continuing the story with Harrow The Ninth. I was actually more of a sucker for Harrow than Gideon. My reading goal was only 8 books this year, but I’m glad I found time to complete it. Anxiety and depression has been hitting hard lately, making reading impossible. But I’m taking the fact that I was able to finish this as a good sign and an achievement despite it all. On to the next book!

#19: The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan

Jason hated being old.

Rating: 5/5

Three Sentence Review: Such a good end to this series! I love the ultimate reunion of the Greek and Roman demigods against a common enemy, and think it might be one of the coolest battles in all of Riordan's books. I just wish the whole Octavian-Apollo-prophecy thing was explained in more detail, but if I remember right, it will come up again in the Trials of Apollo series next.

A list of books I’ve read in 2024

1. I’m Glad My Mom Died, by Jennette McCurdy

[justwriteyoudummy]

My 2024 100* TBR List:

(Yes, I know how to count and that there are technically 106 on here. I have three of the Cradle Box sets which has books 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, but I wanted them represented by individual book so here we are at 106 instead♥) This year I'm going to eat through my TBR list and go through all my books on my shelves, Kindle and my Audiobooks before I attempt anything else. I've got all these down in my reading journal (in this order) and will be doing an RNG to determine my next read! (If I get a series out of order I will default to book 1 and if I get it out of order again will go to book 2 ect ect)

I am going to do my best getting through them all and hopefully I can and will! >:3c

Hope you all have a Happy New Year and I can't wait to get started!
