🎧NEEDED

Alright #Poldark fans Here is a glimpse of my newest #Romelza edit. It has been in the works for months and I’m so happy to share it with you. Tell me what you think. I hope you like it. P.S. please bear in mind that it isn’t done yet.

[varietyofwords]

poldark || episode five (1x05) ↳ for francis, a loss of income, loss of pride, loss of family inheritance. for verity and elizabeth, a sharp decline in their standard of living. for the warleggans, a chance to tighten their stranglehold by closing down a rival mine. and for the poor souls who work there, unimaginable hardship. all because one man was weak and others were greedy.

My Top Books (2020)

Again late, but we gotta have some consistency here. 

I read a ton this year, since, you know, homebound. Not that I wasn’t working from home before this year, but I haven’t spent much time out of it since March. Also they cancelled hockey. Sure they had a bubble, and I had hockey coming out of my ears for a bit, but I had net less hockey, which made time for net more reading. 

Some binge Netflix series, some learn to make banana bread, others tear through books at a frankly concerning pace. I can’t bake and I can somehow only maintain an attention span for the written word right now. But it gave me the time to tackle a lot of classics I’ve been meaning to read for ages, and hey! Lotta them are pretty great. 

Top ten novels of the year, in no order (and four were actually published this year, which is neat!)

1. Cutting for Stone - Abraham Verghese 2. Washington Black - Esi Edugyan 3. Migrations - Charlotte McConaghy 4. A Deadly Education - Naomi Novik 5. A Room of One’s Own - Virgina Woolf 6. Suite Française - Irene Nemerinsky 7. The Hollow Places - T Kingfisher 8. Goodbye to Berlin - Christopher Isherwood 9. The Pull of the Stars - Emma Donaghue 10. Nothing to See Here - Kevin Wilson

Top five non-novel fiction, because they were being v rude to the novels by ranking so highly in my top overall despite being underrepresented in my reading percentage, again in no order (honestly this would usually just be short story collections because me and good short story collections are best buds — brevity is an art I am increasingly forgetting, I’m full on Polonius at this point, but I kept the admiration of it! — but Anne Carson’s a fucking genius.)

1. Fair Play - Tove Jansson 2. Antigonick - Anne Carson 3. Ficciones - Jorge Luis Borges 4. The Thing Around Your Neck - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 5. Night at the Fiestas - Kirstin Valdez Quade

Other stuff I liked, again in no order, and alllllllll over the place genre wise (I am a literary omnivore.):

Raybearer - Jordan Ifueko; The Daughter of Time - Josephine Tey; Topics of Conversation - Miranda Popkey; Real Life - Brandon Taylor; Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein; The Hidden Girl and Other Stories - Ken Liu; The Butterfly Garden - Dot Hutchinson; The Last Emperox - John Scalzi; Daughter of the Forest - Juliet Marillier; The Caine Mutiny - Herman Wouk (too…timely. TOO TIMELY); Shorefall - Robert Jackson Bennett; Appointment in Samarra - John O’Hara; Stray City - Chelsey Johnson; Three Comrades - Erich Maria Remarque; Long Way Down - Jason Reynolds; Harrow the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir; The Sirens of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut; The Iron Will of Genie Lo - F.C. Yee; The Vanishing Half - Brit Bennett; The Death of Vivek Oji - Akwaeke Emezi,  Darius the Great Deserves Better - Adib Khorram; City of the Lost - Kelley Armstrong; Grown - Tiffany Jackson; Boyfriend Material - Alexis Hall

I read a ton of fantastic, important non-fiction this year, so I’m going to separate that from fiction:

Top ten of the year, in no order (no I’m lying. Just Mercy was one of the first books I read in 2020 and immediately cemented the #1 spot. But in no order after that)

1. Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption - Bryan Stevenson 2. What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions - Randall Munroe 3. The New Jim Crow - Michelle Robinson 4. Steal Like an Artist - Austin Kleon 5. Solutions and Other Problems - Allie Brosh 6. White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide - Carol Anderson 7. The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism - Naomi Klein (Read this as COVID became very real. Can’t say that was fun, but it was instructive) 8. The Hilarious World of Depression - John Moe 9. Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents - Isabel Wilkerson 10. How to Be an Antiracist - Ibram X Kendi

Other good stuff: On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century; Why We Can't Wait; In the Dream House; Another Day in the Death of America; Breath: a New Science of a Lost Art; The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power; Eat the Buddha: Life and Death in a Tibetan Town

My Review: 

My God. Where to begin?

Elizabeth Wein has created a literary masterpiece with Code Name Verity. I originally borrow this book from my local library, intending it as a weekend read. I read it three times over that weekend. No exaggeration. Immediately after, I ordered a copy of my own.

I originally started off with thinking “okay, this is a cool WWII spy story. This will be fun.” Wow. I Seriously underestimated the work of art that is CNV.

I was already into aviation, and had studied the WWII RAF planes used before, but this book made me long even more for the skies like Maddie does, as well as the beautiful country as Queenie does. 

The only problem with this book is that I can’t really write a review without spoiling it, other than to say how incredible it is and that you should definitely read it. The writing is exquisite, and it made me laugh out loud, shake with anger, and sob and sob as it felt as though my heart was being ripped out and stomped on. 

There isn’t much more I can say without spoiling this book for you, other than recommend that you immediately either purchase or loan a copy.
