12 and 17 for the book qs?

Thank you!

12. Any books that disappointed you?

Happy Isles of Oceania by Paul Theroux. I've read most of his travel writing and enjoyed a lot of it, but this one was very close to just getting chucked out, mostly because of his relentless descriptions of how fat the people he met were. Also he just generally complained about everything so fucking much that it got annoying lmaooo.

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

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton! I read it before I went to NZ, and was really impressed by how well the novel kept its big cast of characters together while unraveling the plot.

Book questions number 11?

Thank you!

11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen! My mom loved his books, but I never got into them until I picked up one for my holiday because it was thick. 😂 I really enjoyed the writing, I have his other books in my growing tbr pile.

For the book ask: 10

Thank you!

10. What was your favorite new release of the year?

I have to admit that I read very few newly released books, but maybe Elolliset by Ida Turpeinen because that taught me weirdly much about an extinct animal I'd never heard of but can now be sad about. 🥹
