hi bec :^) 2 + 17 for the end of the year book asks!!

2. Did you reread anything? What?

Yes! A couple I actually forgot I read this year. But when I was trying to the habit of listening to audio books before bed (failed) and because it was one of my home school book club picks before construction started at the library I reread Charlotte's Web in January. I also reread To Marry Medusa - Theodore Sturgeon back in June to "research" hiveminds when I started getting into the stobin hivemind fic I was writing. I started rereading Guards, Guards - Terry Pratchett in October maybe but set it aside cause I had some library holds come in, I may finish it before the year ends, we'll see.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

I finally pushed past how intimidating the Locked Tomb series is to me and read Gideon the Ninth this year, it fully changed my brain chemistry. I kinda thought it would be one of those books that's good but maybe a little over hyped but it was stunning. I've been slowly working my way through book 2 a little bit at a time just because it is dense in a good way, but I doubt I finish it before Monday. Also I listened the the audiobooks of all the Murderbot diaries books (except the one that came out this year my library hold has yet to come in) also immaculate. Science Fiction can be hit or miss for me I tend more toward Fantasy but they were just *chef's kiss*
