Basically I did, but I lost it during the move :(

scriblitula replied to your post: i just got that same anon in my own inbox im dying
I GOT IT TOO IT’S SPREADING
IT’S CONTAGIOUS WE NEED TO GO INTO QUARANTINE
I have seen that post, no dice of yours is safe from me now
bring it on, i shall GUARD THEM JEALOUSLY FROM NOW ON
1 & 14 😘
1. Favourite kitchen appliance?
For me, the rice cooker as mentioned, but I do also love your kitchenaid bc it means I get even Better and More baking from you
14. What's a hobby you'd like to get into?
I rly wish to read more again, and to pick up writing again. As far as a Structured Hobby goes, I'd rly like to go back to singing classes (but as discussed maybe find a way where I don't need to combine that with two hours of music theory a week bc regardless of my conviction that this is v useful and important knowledge, it is not v realistic at this life stage).
Also does my PhD count 😭😭😭
3 6 and 14 for the book asks!
3. What were your top five books of the year?
Oh that's tough! Let's give it a shot (in chronological order, can't manage a preference ranking):
Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver (goddamn INSPIRED to write smth this unapologetically Jewish and it's also just a rly good story all around)
T. Kingfisher's World of the White Rat series (and if that's cheating and I have to pick just one, then prob Paladin's Strength bc the MCs are just too good)
Gretchen Felker-Martin's Manhunt (for being damn good horror and also a masterful exploration of the nuances of the transfeminine experience and transmisogyny both in wider society and in queer spaces (honestly a must-read for anyone who's queer and online I think, even though it is Very gory)
Eliza Clarke's Penance (also for the tumblr girlies, and generally a v good exploration of true crime and the way journalists and podcasters treat it and the impact on criminal justice guarantees and the accused and the victims and their families, and since it's an unreliable narrator it does ask you to think for yourself)
Anne Leckie's Translation State (for being a v good lower-stakes story that interestingly deepens/broadens the setting of the Ancillary series) (had a hard time picking between this and Bookshops and Bonedust, picked this for genre variety reasons :p)
6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?
Not really I think? I try not to be too hardline about my TBR list, I read things I'm in the mood for
14. What books do you want to finish before the year is over?
Kingfisher's next Paladin book is coming out TOMORROW and I will for sure read it immediately. I'd also like to finish Johanna Bond's book on intersectionality and human rights law but that's for job reasons :p
@scriblitula replied to your post “ahhhh i just wanted to say how excited i am for...”:
V hurt you put it as immediate feedback and not live slug reaction
me reacting to you pestering me about this reply for the past six hours
Waaaaaade
it's also his blood sometimes though
Jess jess jess jess jess jess jess (for the ask meme) (you saw it coming)
