2024 books

Tagged by @ranilla-bean on a book meme, because rana loves making fun of me and my colourful bookcase and my habit of buying new books when I haven't read all my old books if the covers are shiny enough. It's a problem. i got a new bookcase over christmas and she's already full to the 3rd shelf with new books. 😭😭😭

anyway "the game is to share 9 of my favourite books from the last 12 months, or 9 books on my tbr list for this year" and i opted 9 on the TBR list because i spent most of last year reading somewhere between 5-6 million words of zukka fanfic and i can't put THAT in a 3x3 grid on tumblr!

(1. Babel by RF Kuang 2. She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan 3. The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter 4. The Traitor (Baru Cormorant) by Seth Dickinson 5. Poems of the Sea edited by Gaby Morgan 6. Ode to the Sea edited by Howard Watson 7. Inuit Folktales collected by Knud Rasmussen 8. Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey 9. Chinese Myths & Folk Tales adapted from various - as far as i can tell - out of copyright translations)

this isn't in any particular order other than the first two - i've wanted to read babel since rana finished it and gushed at me about it, SWBTS is getting some BANGING fanart drawn for it and i would be lying if i said i was immune to fanart propaganda on the dash - and the others have been on my tbr list forever or are vaguely in line with an idea i have for the zukka big bang. always good to stock up!
