#yay books!

[piratespencil]

1 & 2 for the book asks, please! Yay books!

1. book you’ve reread the most times?

I answered this one earlier but I'll give another answer! I don't reread things a lot but the fact that I've read both Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo more than once shows you how much I love those books... They're long but they're fantastic. Fantasy heist crew doing fantasy heists. Very good.

2. top 5 books of all time?

Top five of all time is too hard so I'm going to cheat and say top 5 I read this year haha... This might get long so I'm going to do a count-down under the cut:

5) In the Land of Invented Languages by Arika Okrent - This is a non-fiction book about conlangs and it's super interesting!! The older I get the more I realize that non-fiction books can be fun actually...

4) All Systems Red by Martha Wells - I got really into sci-fi this year and this series, The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, is so good. A security construct (part human part robot) hacks itself so it can just hang out and watch TV all day and then stuff happens. I love Murderbot with my whole heart. Great place to start if you haven't read a lot of sci-fi but want to.

3) Because Internet by Gretchen McCulloch - This is another non-fiction book!! This one is about internet language and internet culture and it is so interesting and so well-written, absolutely one of my favourite books of all time.

2) Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir - The whole Locked Tomb series by Tamsym Muir is super cool. Weird, trippy gothic horror slash sci-fi with lesbians. But the most recent book in the series, Nona, is absolutely my favourite one so far. Weird gender stuff. Super endearing narrator. Bonkers plot. God is a twitch streamer from New Zealand. Love it.

1) The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers - More sci-fi!! This book is basically just the episodic adventures of a little long haul ship crew traveling through space but there is something so endearing about the characters and so compelling about how this book is written. As soon as I read it, it scratched an itch I didn't know I had. I'm gonna reread it at some point for sure. (It's the first book in the Wayfarers series, and while the other books in the series are also cool, they deal with different characters and this one is by far my favourite.)

Sorry that was so long!!! I hope you liked this list though, I highly recommend all these books, especially if you enjoy sci-fi and/or non-fiction about linguistics haha.

17 for the book asks!

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

Maybe this is a bit of a cheat, but I’m gonna go with The Wharton Gothics, a collection of short stories by Edith Wharton. I wasn’t surprised that it was good (it’s Edith Wharton!), but I think I was expecting something more staid, I guess? And they were certainly typical of Wharton’s interest in the manners and social mores of her era, but I was surprised by how contemporary these stories felt, in some respects. So it definitely surprised me, but not in terms of quality.

Sorry for barging to your ask box anonymously, but I have to get it out of my head that BillFord is sooo "The winner takes it all" by ABBA and I can't explained it well why but the thought is lingering in my head for a long time

You’re right! I agree! The song gave me a great warmup idea! Thanks!!!
