2022 reading catch up
Dec. 31st, 2022 04:12 pmRaven Strategem & Revenant Gun by Yoon Ha Lee. The two sequels to Ninefox Gambit. As is my usual MO, I liked the first book best. But these were still really enjoyable although a little difficult for me to follow in places and I have no idea how I'm supposed to feel about Jedao.
The Seer and the Sword by Victoria Hanley. One of my favorite books when I was like 13 and I still like to re-read it every so often. This actually got nominated for Yuletide and I was like !! but then no one requested it so sad.
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin. What can I say about LeGuin and her unique stylistic voice and cultural worldbuilding? This fucked me up.
Padawan by Kirstein White. I kept seeing excerpts of this posted on tumblr and they looked very fun. Downloaded Hoopla so I could read it and I highlighted a bunch of delightful sections. Gremlin Obi-Wan content of the highest order.
Beloved by Toni Morrison. I can't think of words for this.
To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers. Novellas continue to be my ideal reading length. Honestly not a lot of feelings about this. The ending was affecting.
Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. I should have re-read the other books before reading this so I could follow better but I enjoyed the writing and insane character dynamics!
And also, gigantic study book for a work thing.
