Fortnight of Books 2024: Day 1

Overall - best books read in 2024?

The Rosemary Tree by Elizabeth Goudge: The only book that has ever made me sob from the beauty of it

The Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton: The style is overly dense in some places, but this may be the best thing I've ever read by Chesterton

Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon: A sensation novel with a great main character, mountains of atmosphere, and one of my new favorite writing styles

Vanity Fair by William Thackeray: Such a rollicking fun style, such a snarky narrator, such a twisty story. Fascinated me even when it frustrated me.

The Ark by Margot Benary-Isbert: Absolutely enthralled by the book's depiction of post-WWII Germany. I've never read a cozy post-apocalyptic story before.

Best series you discovered in 2024?

The only new-to-me series I read more than one novel from in 2024 was the Barchester Chronicles by Anthony Trollope. I loved both The Warden and Barchester Towers for their compassionate character work and their blend of Austen-like domesticity with church politics.

Best reread of the year?

The Q by Beth Brower. It was a favorite read of last year, but not much of the story stuck with me. This year, I was obsessed with the love story.

I also really enjoyed revisiting the rest of the Little House series. The Long Winter assured me my childhood crush on Cap Garland was not misplaced. Little Town on the Prairie in particular felt like rediscovering an old favorite, and These Happy Golden Years was such a nice reading experience that validated it as a favorite of the series.

Boycotting streaming services or not watching movies/series at all is NOT a part of the strike, so here are a few suggestions on what to watch after Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte. Celebrate the amazing work actors, screenwriters and everyone in the film industry do for us! ✨

Always happy to hear more recommendations! 🌸

Vanity Fair, 2016

image reads: "I’d have to imagine that, for Styles, the feeling is mutual. I’m sure he [...] said, “Awww,” and texted Rylance, writing, “Thanks for the kind words, Mr. Rylance.” And then another text message, from “L,” (link that leads to article about Louis) popped up on Harry’s phone, reading, “Agree w everything Mark said, but u knew that. Home soon.” And Harry smiled that incredible smile, and then Tuesday continued on like normal." - when Vanity Fair writes Larry fanfic. You're so real for this, Richard L.

Thoughts on the Chernobyl HBO miniseries (assuming you’ve watched it)? I really enjoyed it but I’ve heard that some big parts of it were inaccurate

Sorry this took awhile to get to I had classes all day

I really liked the show, a lot of it was fairly accurate, but it’s a tv show so of course some things were played up for dramas sake and shock value. The only part of it that really stuck out to me was the way they portrayed radiation poisoning, it’s not completely false I suppose… but its definitely not accurate lmao

It’s been awhile since I watched it, I prefer actual documentaries when it comes to real stories, but from what I remember they showed the firefighters skin as like translucent almost??? Which isn’t how that works. They also showed in one of the scenes a power plant worker bleeding immediately after holding a door open to which also isn’t accurate. Radiation sickness technically can cause bleeding like that, but it was way too soon for it to be happening. I could go on, but radiation sickness isn’t the most fun topic

The only thing I specifically disliked about the show was the public response, which isn’t really the fault of the creators. The amount of tourists doing stupid shit in the exclusion zone/Pripyat just makes me cringe. People moving untouched items, painting radioactive things ‘fun’ colours for cool photo ops, taking radioactive materials as souvenirs… awful. I even remember this one ‘sexy’ photo in a decontamination suit posted on instagram that was taken in the middle of the city. Its disrespectful. Not to mention A HEALTH HAZARD. But Chernobyl tourism is a different topic entirely.

Buy yeah, thinking back to the show radiation sickness is the only inaccuracy I can really remember, other then the miners getting naked in the tunnels, that didn’t happen, but it was funny so Ill give them that!
