I'm sorry if this has already been posted but did you share your top books for 2023 anywhere? :D

Here's my book recs tag, the latest post is my top 10 nonfiction reads of 2023!

I've read mostly disappointing fiction last year, so I'm glad that the first novel I read in 2024 was a good surprise—it's Les guerres précieuses by Perrine Tripier which I mentioned yesterday, I picked it up by chance knowing nothing about it and the story involved 3 of my favourite things: I love old women as protagonists, I love books structured around the four seasons, and I love when a house is very important to the plot or characters to the point that "the House" is written with a capital letter. Unfortunately no translations yet.

I recently started The Women's War by Alexandre Dumas, which I found by chance in a secondhand bookshop, having never heard of it. I asked everyone I know if they knew about it because it feels weird to discover a new Dumas in 2024, and only got negative answers (it's not a recent posthumous publication either, it was first published in 1840..) My mum's theory is that the title suggests it's about women so everyone ignored it. My own pessimistic assumption is that it's embarrassingly bad and that's why we don't talk about it.

And I'm looking forward to reading the books I got for Christmas :)

#ask #the leather bound books are by Mme de Staël #i'm on a quest to read everything by or about her she's so interesting. she was cancelled by napoléon so you know she's great

My brother recently got into Demon Slayer so I wanted to make a kny oc for him since I did it before with both me and my sister and never got around to my brother :)

But I started by refreshing my own design because wow?? It’s been 4 years since I first made my kny insert character and a lot of things are now outdated! Not to mention my art has improved a lot, I hope. More details under the cut!

Meet Ebisu Koharu: youngest of the Ebisu family and physically the weakest. They only barely passed Final Selection by hiding for the entire week and surviving off tips from their older siblings. Nonetheless, they still want to contribute, which is why they hold onto a thick, leather bound book that records every demon they’ve ever met in precise detail, with labeled diagrams and scribbled calculations in the margins of different strengths and weaknesses.

After spending a few years on the job, and properly seeing their data contribute to the successes of other demon slayers, they’ve come a bit more into their own as a competent researcher and fighter, though they still do tend to request paired missions with friends and family to act more as a support role rather than a fighter.

The Ebisu family is one of scholars. The eldest daughter Kaoru is a doctor, and the eldest son Shougen is a chemist. By nature, fighting is not necessarily their strong suit, which is why their family breathing style and techniques are all poison-assisted. Of the three, Koharu is the weakest and most averse to combat— they wield a short half-length blade, with more of a smooth ceremonial hilt and sheath than any practical weapon.

#kny oc #kimetsu no yaiba #demon slayer #it’s so much fun seeing my brother be so late to the party for kny lmao #I love him but his takes are kind of shit ngl. #his character will be absolutely hilarious to do as well #because you better believe I’m going to lean far into how much he simps for giyu #looking for names is so much more fun when I can read some kana and am not using google translate #I found out that the combination of me and my sister’s names form kanari which i will not stop thinking about for ages #four years of improvement and four years of character development! Better character design and research skills #it’s a lot of fun thinking more about details when designing now #I.e. brushes are wildly impractical tools for writing on the go so koharu’s main choice of stationery is an imported fountain pen that cost #a decent amount of their savings #and they wanted their records to last longer so they also invested in a proper leather bound journal (also imported) rather than #a normal string bound book like their normal daily journal. this is also why the books open in different directions #in the event that their fountain pen breaks they Will Cry but they will also commit the details to memory and write them in with a bruh #with a brush after the battle ends

there is truly nothing like being a black girl from certain parts of Maryland...this is really black american princess central

#second only to maybe Atlanta #and some parts of LA #its truly not rare to find black families that have been wealthy and college educated since the 1800s #and they will absolutely have their family history researched and compiled in a leather bound book in the living room #colorism and classism do be beating our asses though lmaoo

Well, this was quite the surprise!

Our collections assistant is going through a rather large donation that has fun little surprises like this. A jewelry box with a very small leather bound book! The book contains the United States' pledge of allegiance.

in tears about seb once more because i found this (amazing leather bound?) f1 book from 1997 at a used book shop and it had this passage in it

"Helden kommen und gehen. Wer spricht noch von Nigel Mansell, einem der erfolgreichsten Rennfahrer aller Zeiten? Wer denkt noch an den südafrikanischen Kurs von Kyalami, wo der Brite 1992 auf Williams-Renault Champion wurde? Schnellebiger und unsentimentaler als in der Formel 1 geht es selten zu."

Transl.: "Heroes come and go. Who still talks about Nigel Mansell, one of the most successful racing drivers of all time? Who still thinks about the South African track Kyalami, where the Brit won the Championship in 1992 with Williams-Renault? Few things are as short-lived and unsentimental as Formula 1."

and it may prove that people do think that you get forgotten quickly after leaving f1 but seb is disproving it himself!! he's the one actively mentioning former champions, he cares so deeply about the history and he is remembering! he remembers and loves nigel! he makes sure those drivers will still be talked about and he encourages others to learn and remember too!! heroes may come and go but they don't get forgotten! not by everyone and certainly not when they leave as big a mark!!

#sebastian vettel #f1 #you won't be forgotten any time soon seb you silly little creature #this book is so cool? it's bound in genuine red leather and the top edge is gilded? and the title is embossed in gold and silver? #this edition isn't even available online? #it's a cool one
