(telling people to answer their own questions is such a fun idea and I might steal it tbh) anyway! How about questions 2 (I re-read so much compared to the total number of books I read because the brain likes familiarity, what can you do), 4 (I guess I'm kind of discovering E.M. Forster right now (who never came up in my entire English degree??), but most of the books were by authors I already knew) and 14?

2) did you reread anything? what?

the lady astronaut series, priory of the orange tree for funsies & technically the bone season (but idk if I count the revised anniversay edition as a reread) ! I'm a bit surprised, usually I also reread a lot, at least one or two faves for emotional support. I still count a book for my reading goal as long as it's been at least 1 year since I read it last

4) Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

I found lots of new authors and will make sure to check out any new releases to see if they're one hit wonders for me or if I want to find more! a lot of it was debut stuff though so I gotta be patient...

two authors whose work I looked for a bit more already are biba oskar nass for german poetry & essays and daniel schreiber for german literary essays

14) what books do you want to finish before the year is over?

my current read alte sorten (halfway through, I definitely will manage that thanks to my commute) and as many of my physical tbr shelf as possible before I have to switch to ebooks after my top surgery in january (apparently holding a book and turning pages is hard in the first weeks of recovery </3). funnily enough most of those are about trans and (gender)queer topics: pageboy (elliot page), before we were trans (kit heyam), to be seen - queer lives 1900-1950

#found this in my drafts I thought I posted it? apparently not sorry for the late reply!#thanks for asking!#placeofwonder #answered

3 & 14? 📚

Thank you!!

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

Thus far it's probably:

Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (reread)

Letters to Camondo by Edmund de Waal

Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans

A Kind of Magic by Luke Edward Hall

Blir du ledsen om jag dör? by Nicolas Lunabba

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

Now THIS is more like it. I'm in the middle of half my shelf it feels like. The most prominent ones is The Flowers of Evil by Baudelaire, Romanens segertåg by Ingrid Elam and Enigma Variations by André Aciman, which I have to decide whether I want to finish or dnf lol

end-of-year book ask
