I have finished 2 books from my January TBR!

• Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater

• Paolo Santiago and the Forest of Nightmares by Tehlor Kay Mejia

:ablobcatcoffee: Both were decent urban fantasy but I’ve liked other books by the same authors more. #amreading

First read of the new year was BARDA by Ngozi Ukazu! I was so excited to find out this book existed during my holiday shopping and had to get it 😆 Big Barda is one of the few DC heroes I love, and I’m a big fan of Check Please! So this was a no-brainer. Really fun, emotional backstory and colorful, emotive art! Recommend.

Every time I remember we have Trump again, morale bottoms out. Like seriously what is the point if we are just going to elect idiot fascists and never learn

Christmas list:

• time to read

• cuddles on tap

• ability to keep plants alive

• crafting brain so that making things doesn’t feel like an impossible chore

• really just a new brain

[#]Decrecs day 21: Listening to audiobooks at 1.5 speed 😌I get more books read and it’s still plenty slow enough for me to track what’s going on

[#]DecRecs day 19: The novels of Sylvia Moreno-Garcia! I love her protagonists and the way she dismantles and deconstructs colonialism. The most recent one I read was a reimagining of the Island of Doctor Moreau (hers is called the Daughter of Doctor Moreau). Mexican Gothic is a favorite gothic romance of mine. Her books often (always?) include some body horror so be warned.

[#]DecRecs day 17: If you like Diana Wynne Jones, there’s an ongoing podcast right now called Eight Days of Diana Wynne Jones by Emily Tesh and Rebecca Fraimow. They’re going through DWJ’s novels by decade and it’s really thoughtful: https://open.spotify.com/show/6gxtq3nHQTiWF4h7ESGQ02?

[#]DecRecs day 16: DNFing books that aren’t good! There are so many amazing books in the world—don’t waste your time on the mediocre ones or ones that aren’t keeping your interest in some way.

Or if a book is difficult and you do want to finish it but you don’t have the brains for it right now, set it aside for a later date when you can give it your full attention.

[#]DecRecs day 15: Patricia McKillip. Just…anything she’s written. Every fantasy book she writes is so different from any of her others and they’re always so complex and tasty, like what I’ve heard fine wines are like.

[#]DecRecs day 14: Keep track of what books you read! I use Goodreads, but there’s other platforms (like Storygraph) or you can just keep track in a spreadsheet or a good old paper journal. It is endlessly useful for me to go back and see what I read in a certain year, or how many books in a particularly long series I’ve read, or what books in a specific genre I could recommend to someone else. Even if it’s just the title/author/date you read it—useful!

[#]DecRecs day 13: The Trials of Apollo series by Rick Riordan. I’m a big fan of RR in general, and this series is 5 whole books of Apollo whump (but for kids?) and I am HERE FOR IT. Love that RR’s publisher greenlit this.

[#]DecRecs day 12: Pilot G-2, size .05, pen. It’s a great pen without being expensive or fancy. I carry a pouch of them everywhere I go because I love having a good pen ready at all times. 🖊️ (I also like clicky pens for fidgeting purposes)
