2020 READING RECAP!

This year sucked ass in so many ways, but it might be the best year of reading I’ve ever had. I discovered so many new favorites, revisited some old favorites, and even read a few books multiple times. In this post, I’ve listed my top five favorite books from this year in the order that I read them because I don’t think I could possibly rank them against each other. They have all become some of my favorite books of all time. I’ve also included a few honorable mentions which are ranked with my favorite listed first. And lastly, I have two notable rereads of some old favorites. I also added links to each book on goodreads and bookshop so you can easily add anything to your tbr or buy it! This is going to be a long one, so buckle up. Without further ado, here is an overview of the books I read in 2020!

Beartown and Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

(Yes, I know I’m kind of cheating by counting this as one book but just roll with me here) Beartown takes place in a tiny community in rural Sweden which is defined by their hockey club. When the junior hockey team has a chance at winning the national championships, the entire town throws their full support behind them. The burden of the pride of their community rests on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys. For one, the pressure boils over and he commits an act of violence that leaves a young girl traumatized, and the entire community divided. 

Late one evening toward the end of March, a teenager picked up a double-barreled shotgun, walked into the forest, put the gun to someone else's forehead, and pulled the trigger.

This is the story of how we got there.

These two books were downright spectacular. Over the course of this year, I’ve completely fallen in love with Backman’s writing style (we love a good onomatopoeia) but more than anything else I just adore his characters. Each one is multidimensional, and even the most infuriating residents of Beartown have their redeeming qualities. I also love the attention he gives to even the side characters whose motivations shape the story even if they only appear for a few scenes. These are stories about right and wrong, courage and fear, and most of all, humanity itself. I laughed and cried and felt more emotions than I thought was possible. Beartown was amazing, but I actually thought that the sequel, Us Against You, somehow surpassed it, so make sure to read both!! (TW: rape/sexual assault)

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

Paul Kalanithi was thirty-six years old and on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training to become a neurosurgeon when he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. His memoir, When Breath Becomes Air, follows his journey from being a naïve medical student, to a brilliant neurosurgeon at Stanford, to being a cancer patient and a new father confronting his own mortality.  

I began to realize that coming in such close contact with my own mortality had changed both nothing and everything. Before my cancer was diagnosed, I knew that someday I would die, but I didn’t know when. After the diagnosis, I knew that someday I would die, but I didn’t know when. But now I knew it acutely. The problem wasn’t really a scientific one. The fact of death is unsettling. Yet there is no other way to live.

This memoir caught me completely by surprise. It was assigned reading for an English class and I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it let alone completely reevaluate my perception of the world around me because of it. Kalanithi discusses learning, medicine, life, and death as he seeks to answer the age-old question, “What makes life worth living?” and the unique perspectives that he offered fascinated me. When Breath Becomes Air is an unfinished manuscript, since Kalanithi died in 2015, but the epilogue written by his wife might just be the best part of the whole book. To tell you that I was sobbing while reading it would be an understatement. The reason why this book made this list is because I finished it in March, but I still think about it relatively often. When Breath Becomes Air has left a lasting impact on my life, and I highly recommend it!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Evelyn Hugo was a Hollywood legend, but after her sudden departure from show business in the late 80s, she completely fell out of the public gaze. Now she is finally ready to tell the true story about her scandalous and glamorous life and she has specifically chosen Monique Grant, a virtually unknown magazine reporter, for the job. For Monique this exclusive is the opportunity of a lifetime. Evelyn tells her story of ambition, friendship, love, and of course each of her seven husbands. However, it becomes evident that Evelyn’s life has intersected with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.

It’s always been fascinating to me how things can be simultaneously true and false, how people can be good and bad all in one, how someone can love you in a way that is beautifully selfless while serving themselves ruthlessly.

This. Book. It was absolutely captivating. I’m honestly not even sure what to say here without giving too much away. The plot is truly a wild ride as Evelyn leads Monique through the story of her life. There are so many twists and turns: some that I saw coming and others that completely blindsided me. And that not even to mention Evelyn Hugo herself who is one of the strongest, smartest, most compassionate and deeply flawed characters I’ve ever read about. All the characters were complex and layered, but she was really something else. There were so so many emotions and so many tears and I really don’t know what else to say. I’m begging you to read this book; it will blow your mind.

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

Ove is a curmudgeon whose life is turned upside down when a young, vivacious family moves in next door. That’s it. That’s the synopsis.

Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.

You’ve seen the Pixar movie: grumpy old man meets young person who shows him life is worth living and they become buds etc. etc. Sure, you could essentially boil down A Man Called Ove to that simple plotline but it is so much more than that. It’s heartbreaking and hopeful and you’ll laugh and cry while reading it. This was the most wholesome story I had read in a long time, and I thoroughly enjoyed every last bit of it. I’ve already explained my love of Backman’s unique writing style, but this novel in particular does a beautiful job of tackling deep themes such as grief and purpose with a generous serving of humor. I also just adored the ending. While this book isn’t at all fluffy or entirely lighthearted, it gave me all of he warm fuzzy feelings I was craving. I cannot possibly recommend it enough!

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 

Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters must find wealthy husbands because upon their father’s death, the entirety of his estate will be passed on to a male cousin, leaving them penniless. Conveniently, a wealthy gentleman called Mr. Bingley moves into the neighborhood, bringing along his even wealthier although most unpleasant friend, Mr. Darcy. 

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

I definitely didn’t think that I was going to enjoy this book nearly as much as I did. The story truly is timeless, and I absolutely adored Elizabeth and Darcy. The biggest surprise I had while reading is that the humor is still funny today and of course Lizzy is fucking hilarious. She is confident, principled, and more than happy to roast the shit out of anyone who deserves it. And then there’s the matter of Mr. Darcy being so sweet and kind (after he stops being an asshole of course) and greatly contributing to the unattainable standards I have for men. It was also nice to have a socially awkward male lead, and in many ways I related more to him than to Lizzy. This book is everything I want from a romance novel plus class criticism and feminism and Elizabeth being an absolute badass. Enemies to lovers is my all time favorite romance trope and I loved reading one of the OGs. Also, I’d just like to add that Mary is the most underappreciated character of the whole novel because she’s really just trying her best. Mostly I was just completely impressed with how this novel has withstood the test of time and it has become one of my favorite classics! Please please give this book a chance even if you don’t typically enjoy classic novels!!

The Martian by Andy Weir

Mark Watney is one of the first people to ever walk on Mars, and now it seems like he’ll be the fist person to die there. A raging dust storm forced his crew to evacuate without him and he finds himself alone on the red planet with the entire world believing him to be dead. This book just barely missed being one of my top five of the year, but it was absolutely amazing. I love reading about people finding clever solutions to problems and that is basically what this entire story is. I maybe understood half of the technical science jargon if I’m being generous, but the story is plenty enjoyable even without extensive scientific knowledge. I adore Mark’s wit and mindset, and I loved watching him wriggle his way out of impossible situations with the odds completely stacked against him. The Martian is a story of perseverance and humanity, but it’s also absolutely hilarious. I highly recommend this one if you haven’t picked it up!!

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

Shaker-Heights appears to be the perfect place to raise a family. It’s progressive, has low crime rates and is all around an idyllic bubble. This all begins to change when a single mother and her daughter move into town with a disregard for the status quo, and a custody battle erupts, dividing the community. This was a great book that ended up being surprisingly thought provoking, and I particularly enjoyed the novel’s criticism of liberal idealism. The story itself was entertaining and I think it’s definitely worth a read!

Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

Alex Claremont-Diaz is the first son of the United States who finds himself intertwined in a damage control PR stunt with his sworn nemesis, Prince Henry. They have to pretend to be best friends to ensure that their confrontation at the royal wedding doesn’t get in the way of American/British relations. I’m sure you can guess where this is going. This is totally a feel-good love story, but it also finds the time to tackle real issues surrounding politics and societal expectations. I loved this book so much that I read it twice this year (the second time because I was so stressed about the election and I needed to distract myself with the fictional 2020 election that takes place in the novel) and also I’m just a sucker for enemies to lovers. (sidenote: the turkey catastrophe is one of the greatest scenes in literary history and you cannot convince me otherwise) 100% would recommend!

The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

The Jim Dale audiobooks are my ultimate self-care tool when I’m stressed or sad; I just find them to be so comforting and I can’t explain why. Because of this I probably listen to at least one of the books every year, but it’s usually just whichever one I happen to be in the mood for. But it’s been so long since I’ve listened through the entire series, and this year seemed to be the perfect time to do so! 

.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

This used to be my favorite book of all time. I’m pretty sure I first read it in sixth or seventh grade and I’ve reread it so many times since. I’ve been planning on rereading this book my first year of university for such a long time, and the time finally came! The book especially hit hard this semester because Cath feels disconnected from everyone at school because she doesn’t want to go to parties or make much of an effort to find friends, and because of COVID, I ended up in almost the exact same situation, (except unfortunately my roommate doesn’t have a cute ex-boyfriend who hangs out in our room). This was definitely another comfort read like the HP audiobooks and it made me feel a bit better about being stuck in my dorm room. 

.

If you actually made it to the end of all that, wow, you’re a real one. I hope you got a few new book recs out of this!

5 SECOND REVIEW:

AURORA RISING BY AMIE KAUFMAN AND JAY KRISTOFF

You can find the Goodreads summary here.

Goodreads rating: 4.30

* let me preface this by saying - me finding out about this book: *pterodactyl screeches*; me reading this book: *small dejected chirp*

THE GOOD:

* SPACE ADVENTURES * I love squads that are up to spreading some chaos and I got exactly that + squad/family vibes YESSSSS * Finn literally carries this entire book, bless his soul * LOADS OF SASS  * overall diversity was well done, we have bi rep + disability rep (I’m a bit worried about one character that I feel was written as autistic, but wasn’t acknowledged as such in the book, and there were some comments regarding that character that didn’t sit well with me, but WE’LL SEE) * the action scenes are super well written and they’re entertaining and fast paced

THE BAD:

* this will hurt my soul to say, but I truly only borderline enjoyed this :( * I had to convince myself to pick it back up every time I put it down * I genuinely can’t believe the same people wrote my favourite book *sobs forever* * like, don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad and I really think it was a case of “it’s not you, it’s me” * hoWEVER * I wasn’t expecting Illuminae, but I wasn’t expecting this either * there were A LOT of tropes and A LOT of cliches, up to the point where the plot didn’t surprise me at all and it kind of bored me by the end, I was just so ready for it to be over * it felt a bit like false advertising, with the tagline for the book being:  "They're not the heroes we deserve. They're just the ones we could find." - but all the members in the squad are super amazing, super pretty, super good at what they do, and I was expecting disasters on two legs and people who fuck shit up, in an oh-my-god-we-may-have-destroyed-the-universe-because-we-pushed-the-wrong-button way * didn’t get any of that :( * I mentioned loads of sass, but it felt cringey at times * there are POVs for all seven (? see, I can’t even remember if there are 7 members in the squad) characters and I genuinely had to go back and see whose POV I was reading, because they didn’t feel distinct enough * Aurora felt a bit Mary Sue-ish; also, you wake up after a very long cryo sleep and your first thought is how hot a dude is? like... for real? * there is one thing that made me roll my eyes so much, I felt them leave this plane of existence, but mentioning it is a spoiler; but trust me, you’ll know when you get there (I genuinely can’t believe they included this in the book) * my main feeling throughout the book was this one: “I feel like I’ve read this before” * so yes, very sad feelings overall, because I wanted to love this SO MUCH * I’m hoping and praying the second book is better * like, literally p l e a s e

YAY or NAY: uuuuuhhhhhhhh idk man, go for it?

Favourite quotes:

“Do moons choose the planets they orbit? Do planets choose their stars? Who am I to deny gravity, Aurora? When you shine brighter than an constellation in the sky?”

★★★ (this genuinely gets 3 stars because my heart can’t handle giving it less + for the memory of AIDAN)

To everyone who got this far, thank you for reading and have a wonderful day! Also, feel free to share your thoughts, comment or tell me anything :)

Buy it from the Book Depository :)

If you liked this stupid review, consider buying me a coffee because it keeps me warm :)

Antique Champagne Answers for...

FanFic Ask Game

wornquillsandspilledink

A: How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]? It’s a bad play on her stage name, Champagne

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience? I am not a vampire, burlesque dancer, or bodyguard, but I am female and I enjoy music, singing and dancing.

C: What member do you identify with most? Wanting to find someplace you feel welcome with people who know you and love you for who you are.

D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with Antique Champagne? Why yes! Yes there is! You can find it HERE

E: If you wrote a sequel to Antique Champagne, what would it be about? This story if the first in a planned trilogy... and I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s say Payne will be forced to face her more inhuman side.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it. 

-Hancock unfolded the chair. Payne gingerly sat, her palms balled in her lap. A grumbling Amari pulled out a battered doctor’s bag, pulling equipment out on a nearby computer bank. She wrapped a blood pressure cuff around Payne’s upper arm. Hancock watched as Payne looked away, her eyes wide, darting around the room as she fought to stay in the chair. Her hands clenched, kneading her thighs.“Sit still, please,” ordered Amari.Hancock leaned against the boxy metal mainframe. “Hey!” Payne looked up into his mischievously sparkling eyes. “What did the necrophiliac say to his girlfriend?”Payne scrunched up her face. “What?”“What did the necrophiliac say to his girlfriend?” he said again.“How the fuck should I know?” Annoyed, Payne blinked as Amari took a light and looked in darting eyes.“I really dig ya!” Hancock snickered.It took a moment, but a weak smile broke Payne’s frigid features. A few scrawny laughs broke through her fear-heightened panic. “That’s a horrible joke.”-

I know it doesn’t sound like much, but this joke is a homage to my husband. He loves ‘dad’ jokes and this is one he would tell me repeatedly early in our relationship.

G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order? I write chapter to chapter.

H: How would you describe your style? Chaotic, I suppose. I have a rough outline, and I just expand the chunks as I go.

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)? Oh yeah. For writing, I can think of a whole lot of smut, but it has hardly made it to the page. For reading - smutty stuff would be The Chain the Binds, for adult Rot Dust and Steel and for listening it would be Fallout: Equestira

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to Antique Champagne. Um, it hasn’t ended yet... but vaguely putting it “And they all lived happily ever after.”

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with? I think it is going to be the bit have planned for the next few chapters (at least that I am willing to spill the beans about). Payne get’s to face her fear of doctors etc.

L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting? I try to revise it at least three times. 1 myself 2 my husband 3 my beta

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share? For this fic? No, I got everything outlined for the end of this arc, plus the next two ‘books’ in the series. I still need to work out the details, but the main points are all in place.

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you? I have a fic on my ‘to do’ list that involves a symbiot (Venom franchise) and a suicidal woman. And another that is a mishmash of Fallout/Dragon Age/Elder Scrolls in the planning phase.

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters? I normally latch on to characters first. Not always though.

P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?) I am a gooey architect.

Q: How do you feel about collaborations? Holy hell, that would be amazing!

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence? I read a LOT of Anne Rice when I was a kid, and Mary Roach has a lot of fun stuff.

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist? Angst. So much angst. Not letting love in.

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand? I can’t stand Thor/Loki or Stark/Parker ships.

U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much. I think I kinda did that up top with I. I love the first two because they treat their characters with such dimensionallity, it makes them really relatable. I love the mash up of MLP and FO, it is so well done... so gritty yet campy but still recognizable.

V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose? I would probably want to work on extending this little jewel: Real Life Has no Manager. It’s just so fun!

W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones? I haven’t really written from a lot of prompts... so I don’t really feel I have a preference.

X: A character you enjoy making suffer. McDonough, Father, Strong, Anders and Solas (Dragon Age), 

Y: A character you want to protect. Hancock (duh), Kent, Curie

Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can’t tolerate? Nobody kills Dogmeat. Leave the puppers alone!

[jehilew]

Fanfic Ask Me

A: How did you come up with the titles? Honestly? I’m super lazy and unoriginal with titles. I write the fic first, then the title is a phrase usually found somewhere in the last paragraph. B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience? A few, yes. The most notable one was ‘Mamas Know Best’. I’d written that one right after losing my mom to cancer. C: What character do you identify with most? I don’t really identify with either. D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with fics? Not usually. I listen to my kids’ music so much, and I hear so much noise at work, I just feel like my ears are battered and overstimulated when I get time to myself. I rarely listen to music anymore just by myself. E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about? I have a sequel idea in my head for ‘Jobs And Promises’; if it happens, it’ll be just as fucked up as the original fic lmao. I have another sequel idea for ‘Safe’, and it hones in on the Romy ‘could-have-been’ moment, and what happens next. F: Care to share a favorite hurt/comfort fic? Hmm. I can’t think of one? Like, I’m here for the angst, and I”m sure hurt/comfort themes took place, but they were largely what I’d consider angst/drama/romance. I don’t know. G: Care to share a favorite crack fic? I really like the crackship series I binge read on Ao3. I think the title was Crackship Armada? Can’t recall who wrote them though. As far as Romy, I love Kinetic Charm’s Kitty fics, if you want to call those crack fic? I don’t really know what crack fic is tbh, I’m old. H: How would you describe your style? Angst and smut? With a smattering of grit and/or humor? I don’t know. I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)? No, cuz guilt is a feeling I refuse to feel when doing ff! J: Write or describe an alternative ending to a fic. None of my fics have alternative endings. I don’t want them to. Once I’m done with a fic, I’m done, I’m sick of looking at it lmao. K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with? Gah, I don’t know. Maybe ‘Safe’? ‘Dancing’? ‘Must Be Love’? I cna’t think of my angstiest, cuz I come up with ideas all the time, but don’t necessarily flesh them out into anything, so I forget them. L: What’s the weirdest AU you’ve ever come up with? Oooooh, and horror/paranormal AU, involving multiple realities and deja vu ideas. M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share? ...do you know me?? lmao I have a shit ton of fic ideas on the back burner. ONe is a merc!fic spin on Gambit’s trial and subsequent abandonment. N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you? No. I mean, I’ve joked about wishing the fics would write themselves cuz time is something I don’t have enough of for writing, but no. I’d rather finish it. If, however, something I’m writing has inspired someone to give it their own ending, by all means, do so! And then tag my ass in it, cuz I want to see!! O: How do you begin a story: with the plot, or the characters? Plot, since my characters are always Gambit & Rogue. P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?) I have to be the architect. If I don’t, I’m dumb and write myself into corners, become overwhelmed with all the loose ends that need tying up, and lose interest in it. Q: Do you have any discarded storylines/projects? Yes. I was going to write a post apocalyptic Romy AU, but quickly lost interest in it.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence? Portable_Tragedy, @ludi-ling, and Valerie J are my biggest ff influences. S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist? Soulmates! Especially ones who are a pain in the ass and they start out not really getting along. ‘There’s just one bed?!’ trope. Time travel. Future AU kids come along and bring you together. T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand? Non-con/dub-con are a gd nope. I also hate the ‘slavemaster falls in love with the slave’ trope. U: A pairing you might like to write for, but haven’t tried yet. Bucky/Nat. Bucky/Belle! Bucky/Rogue. I love Bucky! V: A secondary (or underrated) character you want to see more of in fic? None really. I’m kidn of a shithead reader in that I tend to skip over the non-Romy parts lmao. W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones? General. Specific ones tend to just not go the way anyone wants them too.  X: A character you enjoy making suffer. Rogue and Gambit lmao. Sufffffferrrrrrr with angst and idiocy, my children! *witch cackle* Y: A character you want to protect. None are sacred. Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Yes and no. If Gambit or Rogue dies, I’ll read it if the death is fixed, like time travel or something. And yes, I absolutely will read ahead to see if that happens; if it doesn’t, fuck that fic, Jessi OUT.

Tagging @pastellarts and @applejacks1552. Anyone else who sees this, if you want to play, please do!!
