Lots. Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer and Queen of Dreams by Kit Rocha to name a couple.

7. What was your average Goodreads rating? Does it seem accurate?

3.38. Yes.

8. Did you meet any of your reading goals?

Yes, I read much less this year & met my goal of 10 sapphic books (I read 13).

9. Did you get into any new genres?

Poetry & Short Stories! I also truly attempted to read more classics this year.

10. What was your favorite new release of the year?

maybe She’s Always Hungry by Eliza Clark? hard to say

11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?

Poor Things - Alasdair Gray & Notes from Underground - Dostoevsky

12. Any books that disappointed you?

plenty. I really wanted to get through Crime & Punishment but wasn’t able to (a me problem i’m sure). Both novels by S.T. Gibson disappointed me, but A Dowry of Blood especially. I expected more from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, as well.

13. What were your least favorite books of the year?

some that i shan’t even name. but here’s some: When I Was Ten - Fiona Cummins, The Stranger Beside Me - Ann Rule, Electra vs Oedipus: The Drama of the Mother–Daughter Relationship - Hendrika C. Freud…idk i read some random stuff this year

14. What books do you want to finish before the year is over?

Book 1 in The Witcher series (Blood of Elves)! but it’s a slow read for me so i’m not hopeful

15. Did you read any books that were nominated for or won awards this year?

some may have won awards, but not this year. some nominations.

16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson 😬 I’m sorry. Perhaps it’s one of the those that was something new and unique when first released but is now…kind of ordinary? like i expected something incredible but it felt very standard and unintentionally predictable.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King. My first Stephen King read…I thought that it was very good for what it is and didn’t feel boring like some How To writing books. If only I liked his novels.

Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer was very charming and fun which I didn’t expect after seeing it marketed as a booktok romance.

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant opened my mind to more kinds of horror fiction.

18. How many books did you buy?

too many, mostly poetry books

19. Did you use your library?

once. until very recently i lived somewhere with a very shit library with no libby

Zodiac Academy: Restless Stars. 1,153 pages.

23. What’s the fastest time it took you to read a book?

like 5hrs i think

24. Did you DNF anything? Why?

quite a few. my attention span was SUFFERING this year which meant if i wasn’t into a book then i just couldn’t finish it. most notably I DNF’d Crime & Punishment at about 50%…I WILL finish it one day. Mayhaps i’ll try a different translation.

25. What reading goals do you have for next year?

read no more than 100 books. Read more literary fiction. Read more WLW stories. Read more classics. read more translations.

I wonder who speaks better Spanish out of Genevieve and Ivy Nicole. I feel like it would be Genevieve mayhaps. I think Ivy Nicole can speak it and understand it alright, but it takes her a second to understand what’s being said, and she definitely speaks more Spanglish than anything when she does try to speak it. When it comes to reading it, she sucks! Same with writing it.

Genevieve understands it better than Ivy Nicole, she wanted to be fluent enough to read books and poetry in Spanish as well as try her hand in writing in Spanish (she is not very good at writing it, she messes up the sentence structure when she needs to like write more than a sentence.) But since she can read it well, she definitely has a fighting chance at writing it compared to Miss Harris. When it comes to actually speaking it, Genevieve is definitely more versed in it than Ivy Nicole is. She practices more and tries to incorporate it in her day-to-day.

Interestingly enough, despite them both being mixed, Genevieve, while still looking obviously latine, is definitely not as latine looking as Ivy Nicole. She takes more after her mother than her father. Whereas Ivy Nicole, takes more after her mother and less of her father. This matters not at all, but if these two were next to each other, someone may expect Ivy Nicole to know more Spanish than Genevieve! But it’s definitely the other way around aha.

Genevieve’s father will randomly only speak to her in Spanish so she can practice and he won’t respond to her unless she speaks Spanish back to him aha. He does the same things when he writes to her, it’s important to him that she stays connected to that side of her. Whereas Ivy Nicole’s mom just gets mad at her for not understanding Spanish that well but like ignores the fact that she sent Ivy Nicole to a catholic school where she was absolutely speaking English more often than not. There were a couple latine folks that worked at the school and Ivy Nicole would practice with them but it’s not the same. Ivy Nicole’s brother’s are far more fluent than she is.
