nine books for 2025

tagged by @elssbethtascioni to list nine books i plan to read in 2025, thank u sm <3

the seven husbands of evelyn hugo by taylor jenkins reid: i've been meaning to read this ever since i realised it featured an f/f relationship & decided i wanted it to be my first read of 2025, so i spent part of an amazon voucher i got for christmas on a physical copy! i'm a bit more than halfway through and i love it sm so far!!

sense and sensibility by jane austen: i worship jane austen, but the only book of hers that i've ever actually finished is pride and prejudice, so i really really want to finish the rest!! i figure this one is as good a place to start as any bc i already love elinor & marianne and see them as the two sides of my own soul

piranesi by susanna clarke: i heard about this book a few days ago and it sounds so interesting that i rly want to look into it

our wives under the sea by julia armfield: idk much about this book except it's a gay horror & i myself am a gay horror so i'm intrigued

nine perfect strangers by liane moriarty: ever since i read big little lies, liane moriarty can do no wrong in my book. i still haven't seen the tv series, partly bc i'm scared that it will somehow tarnish the book for me, bc the book is one of my most favourite pieces of media ever in the world. i've subsequently read truly madly guilty and apples never fall, neither of which i loved anywhere near as much, but still

convenience store woman by sayaka murata: idk why i want to read this. i just do. they say you can't judge a book by its cover, but i can and i will

why mummy's sloshed by gill sims: listen. LISTEN. i love why mummy drinks. i think it's one of the funniest books ever written. while none of the subsequent books in the series have been as good, it's still worth it, and i rly want to get up to date with them

the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy by douglas adams: does anyone else have those books that they've started a million times & enjoyed what they've read but never finished, this book is that for me. i am DETERMINED to finish it this time!!!

the bloody chamber by angela carter: similarly to the hitchhiker's guide, i've started this several times but never finished it, which seems wrong for my identity as a Gloomy Lesbian. angela carter u are the fucked up little fairy tale writer for me <3

nobody tagged me to post nine first time watches of 2024 🎬 but you're gonna see it anyway because I liked it last time + movie poster porn (+ under cut shenanigans)

It's not 'nine favourites from 2024' or 'best watches of 2024' or anything like that, just movies that stayed with me for a while, or that I appreciated in some way, or those 'this has been on my to watch list for far too long' ones or those that I just enjoyed or mix of those and other good reasons. Films I'd most likely recommend to someone (with asterisks).

So, if you're interested and have not seen any of those movies and are looking for: (from) large scale feel watch: Dune (through) medium scale feel: Uncut Gems, Love Lies Bleeding, Challengers, Chungking Express, Clue (to) small scale feel: The Thomas Crown Affair, Appropriate Behaviour, Far From Heaven (⤷ in de-escalating order) a bit of heartbreak: Far From Heaven & Appropriate Behaviour more intimate feel: Far From Heaven, Chungking Express, Appropriate Behaviour, The Thomas Crown Affair very story: Dune, Uncut Gems & Challengers more of a chill watch: Clue, Dune & The Thomas Crown Affair things are happening so much: Uncut Gems, Love Lies Bleeding unwell™: Uncut Gems, Love Lies Bleeding, Challengers, Appropriate Behaviour pinch of ridiculous: Clue, Love Lies Bleeding, Uncut Gems, Appropriate Behaviour takes itself seriously: Far From Heaven, Dune

I definitely have more made up categories as recs (still I think it's more useful than any rec list I've ever found tbh those suck imo) but I'll leave it at that, as unprompted as this was.

Tagging nine people, because fun and I'd love to see what other ppl watched last year and possible recs ? and poster porn, obviously (& I defnitely encourage u to make up movie rec categories tbh). So, if you're willing: @kakinou, @iceinherheart-kissonherlips, @lavellun, @antistae, @stpauligirl, @tedlassosbiscuits, @sealochs, @carlithiel, @sarahlancashire 🖤 & this time I'd also like to extend this to whomever sees it and wants to do it on the account that no one tagged me and I did it anyways. Tag you're it! (and tag me also ofc, I want to see your movie choices)

@sealochs

I just saw an email walking around outside

[dreamsrunfaster]

I havent been tagged in anything for ages! How exciting! Thank you @sealochs !!

last song: pink venom by blackpink as i did a round of washing up (get 'em get 'em get 'em),,, i miss how powerful I used to feel cycling or erging to this

Favourite colour: i've been a violet felt-tip stan my whole life

Last film/tv show: just watched ep2 of percy jackson with my family for the #nostalgia. Otherwise, giving Masterchef a whirl

Sweet/spicy/savoury: look maybe my answer would be different if i didnt live in france but. Spicy. Please. It took me a week to find chilli flakes in supermarkets I had to buy jerk from a specialist at the market. The French don't believe in spice they translate the phrase "variety is the spice of life" to "variety is the salt of life" and I wish I was kidding.

Last google: how big do moles get. Thought they were like,,, dachshund size,,, midway between a vole and a badger, until I saw one in a natural history display case at Stendhal's childhood home. I thought Wind In The Willows was just handwaving you know??

Current obsession: it's the end of the year so you better believe I'm on my ace attorney bullshit. Otherwise,, knitting socks, new percy jackson and doctor who, and the cycle along the river on my new commute

Tagging @valsansretovr @invertedhexagon @boldlaughter and @mightyqueerskies for fun and profit and zero pressure <3

Spotted on the way home was the enchanting #lochlinnhe. An immense #sealoch of ever-changing light, loads of #birds like this hunting #buzzard and peace. I’ll be making a straight line back there as soon as I can for some #wildcamping #scotland (at Loch Linnhe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVcc8xDFaD/?utm_medium=tumblr

4, 14 & 24 ?

4. Movie of the year?

It feels bonkers to name a movie that's part of a tv show from 1998, but I didn't watch that many movies this year, and The X-Files: Fight the Future was a ~ w i l d ~ two hours; it was confusing, it was ridiculous, it almost but didn't quite make sense in connection with the episodes that came before and after it, and Mulder and Scully trolled each other and they loved each other

14. Favorite book you read this year?

Probably Girl, Woman, Other!

24. Did you keep any New Year's Resolutions?

It wasn't a formal New Year's Resolution, and I think that's why it worked, but sort of! Leading up to New Year's, my family passed around something that was probably norovirus, and while I somehow managed to not get sick, I spent a lot of time cleaning and doing laundry. While my sister was recovering, we joked that "being passionate about laundry and vacuuming" was in for 2024, and I really was a lot more consistent with such chores this year.
