Reading Challenge 2024

I'm very behind on posting my reads for this year, so I'm going to throw out four in one go.

Book 10/24: Two Serpents Rise by Max Gladstone Rating: 3.25/5 Not as good as the first one. I never felt as sucked in and the philosophy explored towards the end did not work for me. But, still some cool, fun world building and magic.

Book 11/24: The Boy Who Followed Ripley by Patricia Highsmith Rating: 3/5 Continuing the trend of being not as good. This story was more aimless than the first 3. I think Highsmith can do great character studies and she fell short with Ripley and the boy in this one. It had its quirky moments (thank you Ripley in drag sequence).

Book 12/24: Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie Rating: 3.25/5 Oof, also not as good as the first one. It feels like a middle book in a bad way, with a lot of set up for the third installment. Which I still plan to read because there's plenty to like about the world building and politics in this series, even if the characters did not capture my attention as successfully as the first book did.

Book 13/24: Land of the Lustrous by Haruko Ichikawa Rating: 4/5 I read this story over several years with a huge pause around chapter 70 because it broke my heart a couple times. Of course, shortly after the section where I stopped, more love, warmth, and hope began to grow. So then I was shaken up and heart broken in a new, existential way. Very pretty art, especially when the author uses stark black and white.

[itsnotacarepackage]

I was behind on my reading goal for a while but got back on track then started reading one of Obama's books. His chapters are longer than I wanted (even though they're interesting af) because my pain is making it hard to concentrate. Now, the only consolation to being behind again is, I get to say "thanks obama" in that ironic way supporters did, again. And I can pretend the years since he left office haven't happened *dream sequence*

[unyieldingwings]

AAAAAAAAH.

I just wanted to share!!!

13 Moons Reading Challenge 2024

Big news I've reached my reading goal of the year AND I completed the 13 Moons Reading Challenge! I can't wait to read more and more in 2025, I really wanto to make reading a second nature. Thanks to @readnburied for the prompts that often gave me new ideas for my readings during this year!

Reading goal reached – Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, 13 books Books read: 17 (15 new ones & 2 re-read)

Cold Moon

Read a book while wearing a pair of socks: La Piccola Conformista (The Little Conformist), by Ingrid Seymann. ☆☆☆ ½ The stars I removed are because of how each chapter felt disconnected from the other: it's a stylistical choice and I understand it, since the story is like a collection of memories told by a little girl, Esther (who is only in middle school by the end of the book); anyhow, this method makes the narrative really fast-paced and not too datailed or precise: simply not my preferred prose style. This book talks about some of the political changes of the '70s in France, filtered by the daily life of a - we coud say - dysfunctional family. But what's important to say is that this book, in all its confusion, left me something, wheter it's the handed-down feeling of melancholy and pain of a family who had to leave its homeland, or the crisis triggered by coming back to that same place, only to found out that that destination doesn't exist anymore (in this book, I'm talking about the French Algeria). I haven't experienced this feeling though, but do you know what I've experienced? The fucking dysfunctional family part. And my story is not the same of Esther, but I couldn't help but to feel closer to her in some odd, specific ways. If you want a slightly political and real, irriverent, easy but also full-of-climax reading, this book could be it. I finished it in just one day, but I haven't found any version in English. There's always the French version if you're skilled!

Blue Moon

Read a classic / book with a dramatic title: The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. ☆☆☆☆ Let's talk about this book. Let's talk about it. It was my first real / classical / serious / complete reading in English. I really, really liked it. It was a bit hard to grasp some sentences, and sometimes I had to focus way too much on understanding the meaning of the concepts rather than paying attention on the poetic or sarcastic hints Hawthorne filled the pages with. I think that if I had read it in Italian, I would have enjoyed it all a bit more. Nonetheless, this is a classic worth reading. I really enjoyed the nod at the unearthy, the visual descriptions that in some ways felt in-between different worlds. I loved every part where I could read the insides of a conflicted sinner's soul and his delusions, I loved to delve into the life of an excluded woman, who had the fearlessness of facing the puritan punishment. I loved exploring sin and its rigid interpretation of a distant age, the responsability and self-guilt that comes with it, but also the liberation that comes when admitting it and the painful yet relieved redemption to pursue in order to be truly forgiven. Oh and wanna talk about how in this book it is also addressed that spending a life on revenge can only lead to perdition, the loss of oneself and hallowness? Or how the sinner-woman becomes legendary in the end, making an honest life on her deeds rather than her sins? Or how Pearl, her daughter, is also a metaphorical being for the consequences of sin but she's also the only human character really capable of offer redemption? Because Pearl is not only the "product" of sin, but also of a star-crossed love between two people that only wanted be free by growing old together. You could say there's a lot in this book, and I think even some early feminist inputs — well the plot itself was surely feminist for its time. What can I say. If you like a bit of a challenge with old English, I recommend this one!

UH - What is this? I'm not done writing! It was while writing these reviews that I realized that the two main characters of my last two books of the year are named Esther or its variant. We have:

Hester Prynne, from the The Scarlet Letter

Esther Dahan, from The Little Conformist

 Soooo there are indeed lots of analysis of the names used in TSL, so I'll try to put a little recap here; then I'll try to personally interpret the choice of Esther for TLC - I found no references by the author :(

Names analisys because I want to⁓

[ SPOILER ALERT; The Scarlet Letter ] First things first: the entirety of TSL talks about religion and sin, so you can't tell me Hawthorne didn't read the Bible and didn't put religious references in his book. That's, like, basic stuff. Of course, the name Hester comes from the biblical Esther, who is described as a woman capable of compassion, and also faithful, courageous, cautious and resolute. There are some similarities between the two women, not only regarding aspects of their personality, but concerning their actions too. Both of them have to confront a high-placed figure of their society: Hester visits Bellingham's mansion to maintain little Pearl's parental responsability, while Esther shows up at King Ahasuerus court and she's able to gain his favour in the end. Both of them are also forced into a unwanted and unfulfilling relationship with an older man - Hester is tied to Chillingworth, Esther marries Ahasuerus without feeling any love for him. And if Hester is Esther, Dimmesdale is probably the counterpart of Mordechai (a spiritual leader of the Jews*), Esther's cousin and guardian, claimed to have had a secret sexual involvement with her that was never resolved. And what about Chillingworth? He could be inspired from Haman, a character who seeks revenge against Mordechai, but fails. Fun fact: Hawthorne never writes the word Adultery, for which the Scarlet Letter A stands for, and I will not dwell on the meaning of this in the story (this post is already long enough). But do you know which other book avoids a particular word? Exactly! The Book of Esther doesn't mention God, and it's the only book from the Hebrew Bible that doesn't refer to the divinity directly. Sorry I wrote so much, but. Actually. I'm not sorry. I love this stuff aaaaah.

* If you want to know more I took everything from this link, it's a nice and quick summary to start: https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/significance-of-names-in-the-scarlet-letter/ Excuse for any eventual inaccuracies, this is just meant to provide a basic understanding; more info is welcome, since I've never studied this literature piece and its influences!

And what about The Little Conformist? I'll write down my short and easy interpretation. I know nobody is gonna read this part, since probably no one read this book. But, you know, who fucking cares?

[SPOILER ALERT; The Little Conformist ] Needless to say, Esther Dahan has the exact same name of Esther from the Bible. And that's no news, since her father in the story is, in fact, Jewish. A lot of Esther Dahan's story revolves around her identity as a Jew, except that she doesn't really feel one. At first, she and her brother are decribed as "half-Jews", since their mother, Elizabeth, is French. This part of her heritage disappears more and more as she grows up: she starts attending a catholic school and later on she decides to be baptized as a christian. In order to be accepted in her new school, she hides the characteristics of her family (strongly non-conformist and leftist), considered factors of unacceptable antithesis with the burgeois world she now frequents. She also starts to hate her father and everything he represents, she despises his maniacal need of order, his outbursts and his fights with Elizabeth, his attitude; in the little girl's eyes, "the only problem in her mother's life was her husband". Esther Dahan doesn't have that much in common with the Esther of the Bible, she's not a woman yet and she still has to find herself, she has no concrete faith in whatsoever religion or political view. She's just a teenager trying to survive during delicate times. Her name in Hebrew means "I will hide" (*): the biblical Esther hides her real identity in order to save the Jews from the massacre ordined by Haman; while Esther Dahan hides her family origins throughout the whole book, and it's right when she has the courage to open up with a new friend about it, that she feels at a turning point, sensing the positive comfort of a real understanding. Maybe Esther parents' gave her this name because they hoped she'd become a resilient and fierce woman, with faith in her values; maybe that is the woman Esther Dahan is destined to become, as the author pictured it, but we are not meant to meet that version of Esther.

* I took the translation of Hebrew from Wikipedia, I hope it's right. If any of the information I found isn't correct, again, please let me know. This is just a friendly curious post - I haven't read the Bible and I don't know Hebrew. mwah

Conclusions: I know there's so much more symbolism behind Hawthorne's work. I wish I would've studied The Scarlet Letter at school.

I set myself the challenge to read 12 books.

I’ve done 10.

These are my last 2 choices.

1. Such Sharp Teeth…

Rory Morris isn't thrilled to be moving back to her hometown.

There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought she'd put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into lan, an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she's attacked.

Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. She's unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver— and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She's changing into someone else-something else. But does that mean she's putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside her the key to acceptance?

THIS DARKLY COMEDIC LOVE STORY IS A BRILLIANTLY LAYERED PORTRAIT OF TRAUMA, RAGE, AND VULNERABILITY.

2. The Return…

JULIE IS MISSING, AND THE MISSING DON'T OFTEN RETURN.

But two years to the day that Julie vanished, she reappears with no memory of what happened to her.

Julie's best friends Elise, Molly and Mae decide to reunite for a girls' weekend at the eccentric, remote Red Honey Inn.

But the second they see Julie, they know something is wrong.

In so many ways, Julie seems to be the friend they all loved and lost. But in others, she seems to be a stranger.

When bad weather traps them inside, tensions flare and the hotel takes on a life of its own. As the weekend unfurls, it becomes impossible to deny that the Julie who vanished two years ago is not the same Julie who came back.

But then who - or what - is she?

[greenvertumna]

At this point I think Achilles and Patroclus should both have realized they’re in a tragedy and beat a hasty retreat.

[tolive1000lives]

My 2024 reading wrap up through March! Only missing the last two books of the Witcher series, which were library books.
