12 and 3 for the book asks!

12:Any books that disappointed you? Yeah 😭 like this book daughter of the moon goddess was marketed as like a mythological retelling and then it was just like the most generic magic school YA fantasy love triangle it was soooo bad thats like 8h of my live ill NEVER get back..... also wasnt prepared for earthsea being really misogynistic. scream. also honestly the prose of basically every new release I've read has been disappointing to me sorry to be a hater

3: What were your top five books of the year? ngl most of my top books this year were nonfiction, but i really liked she who became the sun by shelley parker-chan like its not a perfect book but it was enjoyable and exciting the way it depicts gender. and human acts by han kang was really good. everything else i liked was like short story collections and nonfiction ngl. wait i mean i enjoyed reading (the first 3 books of) earthsea but the misogyny literally left such a bad taste in my mouth 😭 i know she addressed it later etc etc but it just blindsided me bc i didn’t expect it also in the first book when ged’s little creature thing died i literally almost DNFed
