Between the weird structuring of the dress and the complete lack of it in the drape, this looks like she tossed on some construction tarp and called it a day.

My five star reads from this year with reviews that are longer than just a single word woohooooo

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies - Heather Fawcett - EXCELLENT COSY FANTASY. Emily is an autistic queen, Shadow is best boy, and Wendell is dramatic and flashy and I love him. Read if you like the Howl and Sophie (book version!!) dynamic or scary fairies more in line with the way they're presented in folklore.

The Fifth Season - N. K. Jemisin - CHANGED MY LIFE I THINK ABOUT THIS BOOK AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I literally don't know how to talk about the actual plot without giving things away but holy shit. just read it it's so good. Please investigate any trigger content that might be in this it has a lot!

Longshadow - Olivia Atwater - COSY REGENCY FANTASY ROMANCE!!! Honestly, any of Olivia Atwater's regency fairytales are super cute.

The Obelisk Gate - N. K. Jemisin - continues from the fifth season! also very good!!

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands - Heather Fawcett - continues from EWEoF!

A Master of Djinn - P. Djeli Clark - DO ANY OF YOU LIKE BOOK WITH MULTIPLE LADIES WHO ARE SO SO COOL AND ALSO A STEAMPUNK-Y EGYPTIAN SETTING FULL OF DJINNS AND ANGELS AND MAGIC I am frothing at the mouth for more of this world ngl

Spinning Silver - Naomi Novik - MORE SUPER COOL LADIES but they're in medieval eastern europe, all three povs are super great and I like the understated romance 

Mexican Gothic - Silvia Moreno-Garcia - Gothic heroines a la Jane Eyre combined with 1950's mexico. an excellent horror that has a surprisingly wholesome and endearing romance within it. 

His Majesty's Dragon - Naomi Novik - NAPOLEONIC WARS BUT THERE ARE DRAGONS. This is the first in a series and because there are a fair amount of them the books themselves can seem a little slow paced but I didn't mind it. 

A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking - T. Kingfisher - BREAD WIZARD AND HER GINGERBREAD MAN FAMILIAR SAVE THE FUCKING TOWN. really good look at how children navigate an adult world and the unfair expectations placed on them.

Uprooted - Naomi Novik - GIRL CREATURE AND BOY FAILURE I love the way this book explores people who fit outside the usual mode of learning or educational parameters.  

The Warm Hands of Ghosts - Katherine Arden - exploration of a brother and sister's experiences in world war i. The prose and character study in this are incredible.

I don't think I will manage another book this year, so it is time for the...

Illiterate Corner with Crys

Aka the roundup of what I have read this year with short notes.

Wilder Girls by Rory Power. 4/5, loved the setting, interesting story and interesting character exploration, I think. Not something I would reread, but it was a nice book.

The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. 5/5, adore the story within stories and the visuals of the world are outstanding. Very beautiful, I liked it. Would love to get a copy for my home library!

How to Read Literature like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster. 4.5/5, very interesting and educational for me read, loved the approach and examples, but I think that I would enjoy it more should I have been more familiar with the typical literature course author falls back on.

Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher. 5/5, uggested to me by @illumiera , iirc, no notes, wonderful little tale. Loved the unusual fairytale protagonist and loved how it takes from fairytales to build it's own unique world.

Dragonbone Throne. Book 1

Dragonbone Throne. Book 2 by Tad Williams. 4.5/5, the book was published as split into two tomes in Russian and so I have opted to count it like that. One of my new favourite fantasy series, definitely. Dated in some regards, absolutely, but I am fascinated with the world and would need to finish the series in 2025 and start on the sequels and sidequels.

Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim. 4,25/5 was also suggested to me by @illumiera I believe, I have enjoyed it. Another interesting fairytale retelling, which I found captivating and appreciated the departure from the typical European setting. Maybe will check the second part, but I am not sure.

How to Read Novels like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster. 4.5/5, pretty much the same opinion as the other book earlier this year.

Stone of Farewell. Book 1

Stone of Farewell. Book 2 by Tad Williams. 4.5/5, again, pretty much the same. The tone and pace of the story definitely picks up with the later books as the war in Osten Ard goes on.

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor.

Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor. 5/5, as it is a duology will be talking about them together and I quite liked the story! Some definitely very dark and bleak themes, but also a very curious world, interesting mythology and beautiful imagery. Very... Mythological in some bits?

The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne. 4.5/5

The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne. 5/5, I loved the setting and the worldbuilding concept with gods and their descendants is really interesting. The writing style is definitely a hit or miss, but I am very excited for the third book. I need to know the fates of cool evil dragon woman and one absolute bastard of a guy.

Nightfall by Peter Kujawinski and Jake Halpern. 3.75/5, this one definitely feels like something for a younger audience, but it was a decent enough read.

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. 4/5, very emotional book. Short, but very emotional.

The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex. 3.75/5, nothing particularly outstanding, but a decent enough read I grabbed in the library.

Familiars by Stacey Halls. 4/5, I have enjoyed the historical-ness of the book, can't comment on the accuracy. Fascinating, but one-time read for me.

The Maidens by Alex Michaelides. 3.75/5, forgettable and not very interesting, sadly, I had higher hopes.

Fairy Fale by Stephen King. 5/5, amazing, loved it, very enjoyable read and very interesting worldbuilding. Slow and with a long start, but definitely enjoyable ress for me. Would adore to have a copy in my home library.

The Crystal Pyramid by Soji Shimada. 4/5, I absolutely can nitpick about writing style, plot choices or other things, but I do like to see how mysteries unfold with this author. But definitely a one-time library read for me.

Van Helsing by Kevin Ryan. 4/5, I have went in not expecting much, but I think it was a good novelisation for a movie I really like.

The Secret of the Old Woods by Dino Buzzati. 3/5, a short read and an interesting style, but I think not my kind of an author.

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. 5/5, running in circles and starting the second book immediately, amazing, loved it, the world and characters are just. Amazing. Picked up a book because I saw @ecofear posting about it and it was definitely a Very Good Decision to make.
