@wayfarers97 tagged me to share my favorite books of 2021! though i didn’t read much for pleasure or many new books this year, i am excited to share (chronological order, not ranked or anything).
The Blue Between Sky and Water - Susan Abulhawa (tells the story of several generations of the women of a Palestinian family in Gaza, beautifully written and challenging but hopeful as well in some ways.)
I re-read Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre for uni, love the Bronte sisters
Before the Coffee Gets Cold - Toshikazu Kawaguchi (this I found really sweet and reflective but in a rather light-hearted way)
One of Us Is Lying - Karen McManus (I do enjoy a YA murder mystery that i get through in a weekend, what can i say. plus, it got me out of a months-long reading slump)
Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal - Jeanette Winterson (memoirs aren’t usually my jam, but while this was emotional, it was also a joy to read)
And I’d like to add my two comfort books from my childhood/early youth that i keep coming back to and that were important to me this year, having listened to the audiobooks again and again and again: Krabat - Otfried Preußler and Momo - Michael Ende. (they just feel safe and like home and i can fall asleep to them because they are so familiar and they’re just objectively good books and i wont discuss this further. but please tell me if you’re not from germany but you know them)
I tag: @nar-ankar & @bananensojamilch if you want :)
