Omg, anon, I'm so sorry I didn't reply sooner!!!! I wanted to sit down and write a really thoughtful reply but then...I didn't D:

I didn't really think about comparing them, I guess? I do think Sex Education handled the ensemble cast better in the first series, but has subsequently got...not bad at it, but it's not as balanced as it was. (So many shows fall victim to this, though! Sigh) Similarly, ST has too many characters to really focus on any of them properly! But, yeah, the writing in SE, especially in the first series, is just brilliant.

Gahhhh, sorry for not answering this sooner! D: but thank you for sending it!!

12. Any books that disappointed you?

I didn't think much of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, despite everyone else seeming to love it! The prose was just too overwrought for me and everything else got lost in it

18. How many books did you buy?

About 40 I think?

20. What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations?

The only release I paid attention to was Misha's poetry book I think? And I really enjoyed that. Oh, and The Turnout by Megan Abbott, which I enjoyed a lot too! She's one of the few authors I actually keep up with and try to get her books as soon as they're released. And just remembered another: The Death of Francis Bacon by Max Porter - I didn't enjoy it as much as his first two books, though :(

21. Did you participate in or watch any booklr, booktube, or book twitter drama?

No, I don't participate in them, drama or not!

22. What’s the longest book you read?

Well, Goodreads tells me it's the complete Kake comics by Tom of Finland but that was kind of a cheat log because there are almost no words in it lmao After that it was Oryx and Crake

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

A few hours for some of the graphic novels I read!

24. Did you DNF anything? Why?

Nope!

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