hi! for the end of the year asks: 1, 3, 9, 14, 22, 24?

Hiiii!

1. How many books did you read this year?

Officially 33, although counting is difficult because I interned in publishing this summer and read some books that weren't out at the time. I keep thinking of more books I finished half a year ago. There's one that's announced for February and I guess I'll be counting it for this year instead??

Then there were also a couple that I technically finished, but am not counting for my goodreads challenge for Reasons, like I was basically skimming because of fast review deadline...or found so artrociously horrible I don't even want it to stain my account lmao. And that last one, I did the final edit for, so I know how bad it was even after multiple professional editing rounds :P

3. What were your top five books of the year?

In no particular order

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik (EL!!! El, the girl who was born to be evil and fights tooth and nail to stay good out of spite T-T) (Also I realized I operate nigh daily on the exact same level of vigilance as a kid in a school that will KILL YOU and that's....a lot)

The Old Ways by Robert Macfarlane (chill nonfiction about hiking and sailing mostly around Britain)

Shadow Girls by Carol Birch (girl's schools and ghostssss)

The Death of Bees by Lisa O'Donnell (two girls bury their own parents in their backgarden; macabre in the best ways, grim but full of love)

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn (essentially a fictional true crime case where you actually get the satisfaction of unpeeling all the layers through a round dance of POVs, left me Pondering for daysss)

Bonus: Along the Trenches by Navid Kermani (a travelogue that gets into the nitty gritty of the history and politics of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus) (I've only gotten halfway through, but I have to mention it NOW because it's amazing and Kermani has been cemented as my non-fiction crush)

9. Did you get into any new genres?

Not really! I def felt a taste for dark stuff this year though.

For the opposite of Getting Into, I had to read a lot of r0mance novels and new adult fiction for work, and mmmmmmm no. No shade, I did enjoy a couple, even though I'm not sure I would've finished them if I didn't have to. But they're just so formulaic T-T I need my books to have a kick.

14. What books do you want to finish before the year is over?

Worked hard on finishing In Männerkleidern by Angela Steidele. It's somewhere between an academic work and a conventional biography? The subject is a working class AFAB person in early 1700s Germany who lived sometimes as a woman and sometimes as a man, had a really interesting life, married a woman but eventually got busted and executed for "sodomy with a woman".

I think Steidele is pretty solid about dealing with the transman or lesbian or?? controversy potential, refers to the main character as whatever gender they were presenting as at the time and when discussing the possibility of interpretation at the end gives evidence for and against all possibilities fairly imo.

You're usually not gonna catch me reading history stuff outside uni, but this was a treat.

22. What’s the longest book you read?

Mansfield Park!

24. Did you DNF anything? Why?

Oh yea. For one, a lot of that was involuntary through work, often you'll only get a 50 page sample, sometimes the rest isn't even written yet.

One thing for work I DNFd more or less voluntarily was What Doesn't Kill Us by Ajay Close (sent in for translation licensing). I actually loved it and for the first and last time felt that famed editor "This is MY manuscript and I'm FIGHTING for it" feeling. Buuuuut it's very dark and visceral and I wasn't in a great headspace at the time, so I kind of just quiet quit on it during my last week. I did still write it a recommendation for as far as I got.

Outside of work, The First Day of Spring by Nancy Tucker. Only took me a couple pages to realize it was based on Mary Bell. I actually thought it was very well done, but it was tough to read just because of the subject and even flipping forward didn't help. I don't think I'll go back to it, I feel like I kind of know what it was doing and where it was going and I liked it, but don't need to experience it page by page.

#thank youuuu #i have a lot to say about books huh #lev reads #askbox meme #teddy-after-all

[libraryofglitter]

Thank you @tessabennet for this tag! I've never been tagged in anything on Tumblr so I appreciate it a lot 💕

Last Song: "Good Guys" by MIKA. I love that man

Last show: I'm almost done with Ted Lasso! There are 4 episodes left for me, I think

Last movie: That might have been Magic Mike 3... Which I watched with a group that consisted almost entirely of lesbians

Currently watching: Parks & Recreation! I'm on season 2 and it's fun so far. I love workplace comedies.

Currently reading: Legends & Lattes (fun and relaxing!), Der Boulevard by Tove Jansson and also Aufklärung bei Angela Steidele but I can't find my copy of that one. Oh, and The Secret to Superhuman Strength by Alison Bechdel.

Current obsession: Literally NOTHING and that's a big problem. My Patricia Highsmith phase is still ongoing, but it's not all-consuming, and there's no fandom that I'm truly obsessed with at the moment. That's so sad! I need something to fixate on!

Reading the biography by Angela steidele and apparently Anne didn’t sleep with Mariana during the Christmas of 1834? Why did they add that if it hadn’t happened irl?

Hello – here you can read what happened during Christmas 1834.

Something between Anne and Mariana did happen, the show dramatized it a lot more, but something between them did happen (Anne gave her “one parting grubble”) even tho it looks like Anne wasn't really into it and regretted it immediatly after.

Angela Steidele's book is full of inaccuracies, take everything she writes with a grain of salt.

I fucking love Libby so much. ADHD makes it hard to make Going To The Library a regular routine (hard to remember to return books on time, hard to remember to just Go and Browse), and poverty makes it impossible to collect and read everything I want.

anyways thanks to Libby and my local library card plus a Queer Liberation Library card I've been able to read 79 books since August 2023 and still going strong, AND my "to read" tag STILL has nearly 400 titles in it.

So this post will be a running list of the books I read from Aug23-Aug24:

"Mort," Terry Pratchett

"The Fifth Season," N.K. Jemison

"Celtic Gods and Heroes," Marie-Louise Sjoestedt

"Gentleman Jack," Angela Steidele

"Hatchet," Gary Paulson

"The Giver," Lois Lowry

"The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," Suzanne Collins

"The Sandman (Vol 2)," Neil Gaiman

"Fourth Wing," Rebecca Yaros

"The Color of Magic," Terry Pratchett

"The Sandman (Vol 1)," Neil Gaiman

"American Gods," Neil Gaiman

"The Song of Achilles," Madeline Miller

"The Handmaid's Tale," Margaret Atwood

"Good Omens," Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

"Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal Edition," Naoko Takeuchi (1-10)

Wow, they've really ruined Gentleman Jack this season. It's like they're deliberately making her as unlikeable as possible. The cheating is completely OOC for the Anne in the show IMO, and never happened in RL either. Nor have I read of her treating her sister so badly. And what's going on with her eyebrows? The conservative politics and snobbishness are accurate though.

Yes, Anne’s visit to Mariana at Lawton Hall in Gentleman Jack season 2, episode 4 was indeed inspired by historical facts.

After Ann moved into Shibden Hall, Mariana felt the need to clarify where they stood and invited Anne to stay over Christmas of 1834.

Anne, too, felt the need to clear the air and visited Lawton Hall alone, where she was drawn back into her complicated past with Mariana.

After sleeping in separate beds the first night, Mariana put Anne to the test the next morning.

However, Anne Lister made it clear early on in her relationship with Ann that she was after loyalty and long-term commitment and, while Mariana did try to tempt Anne, she did not break her oath to Ann.

“M – came a little before eight and stayed till nine in bed with me – rather in pathetics – she cannot get over her love for me – but I behaved with perfect propriety," Anne confided in her diary.“

"Anne returned to Shibden Hall a loyal ‘husband’, late at night," wrote Angela Steidele of the visit in Gentleman Jack: A Biography of Anne Lister.

“from then on, their letters concerned only chemical gases and armenian grammar” (107). 

“the amateur of pictures who has closed his grand tour without a visit to the hermitage palace, ought to die of the spleen forthwith” (262).

Carmella reviews Gentleman Jack: a Biography of Anne Lister by Angela Steidele

Earlier this year, HBO and the BBC treated us to Suranne Jones swaggering across the screen in butch Victorian get-up, playing the character of Anne Lister. The first season of Gentleman Jack follows just a segment of Anne’s life starting in 1832, as she woos her future life-partner, Ann Walker.

While I loved the show, it left me wanting to know more. What was Anne Lister really like? Who was…

I have never seen anything so beautiful as the York Minster.

Do you recognise the view from the street ?  Text : “They stayed in Spa for four days, at Ann’s request, before Anne hurried them up the river Maas to Huy, Namur and Dinant. They viewed Reims Cathedral - but, after all, and as a Gothic building, I prefer York Minster to all I have seen - and visited the Moët champagne cellars in Epernay. They drank a whole bottle with their meal.”  from Angela Steidele’s Gentleman Jack.
