definitely make room for station eleven during shakespeare girl summer! i can only rec the show (as i haven’t read the book yet) but i do so vehemently!

the story features his plays in such a unique way. that being following a troupe of shakespearean actors in a post-apocalyptic north america. it’s an ode to the resilience of art through time. how art can foster connection, empathy, hope. but also inspire insidious actions. all depending on the interpretation.

hiiiii thank you sm for asking 🫶 hope you’re having a lovely day or night <3

9: did you get into any new genres?

- hmm well i read a lot of theatre this year as i had two classes on it, and especially metatheatre which is something i was kind of aware of but never really tried, but i enjoyed it a lot!! that’s it mostly. i’ve had such a busy year that i didn’t branch out as much as i would have liked

10: what was your favourite new release of the year?

- “small worlds” definitely!! caleb azumah nelson my BELOVED

18: how many books did you buy?

- impossible to answer, i have no idea. not that much this year i think as i used my library a lot but i did buy some

25: what reading goals do you have for next year?

hello thank you so much for this one 😌 i love all of it so this was quite difficult but!

and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank

3: what is your favourite genre?

hmm contemporary i think, whichever time period it happens to be written in. don't know what genre to call this, but something that's mostly abt people. also poetry

6: what books have you read this month?

will do this for may bc i have not finished a book in june yet so:

le petit prince (the little prince) by antoine de saint-exupéry. reread it when i was feeling a bit sick and wanted something short and sweet and i enjoyed it a lot!

wide sargasso sea by jean rhys. liked it a lot! very strong atmospheric writing and wonderful nature descriptions. i think i was expecting a liiiitle more insight into the characters. i feel like there was a lot left unsiad which i wasn't the biggest fan of in this case

kartonnen dozen (cardboard boxes? don't there's an english translation of this one) by tom lanoye. autobiographical coming of age story abt a boy discovering his sexuality and dealing with his love for a classmate in the 60s. it didn't blow me away, but i did like it! i thought the writing was fun and it was cleverly structured. i imagine it's quite strong in depicting a specific time period and also very flemish in mindset.

15: recommend and review a book

i recommened quite a lot of books when i did that book rec game a while back, so it was hard to find a true favourite that i hadn't mentioned then, but let me pick on i had to read for school, and which is actually a play.

the glass menagerie by tennessee williams! if you like plays i would recommend this one. it's been a while since i've read this, but i remember it being so delicate and fragile, imbued with nostalgia and bittersweetness. the human experience as both a very lonely experience, while also ultimately being about human connection. people who are stuck in the past, stuck in a life they don't really want, stuck into themselves. about memory and how it can haunt you, while also partly being a figment of your imagination as it never accurately portrays past reality. i read it during the beginning of the pandemic when we were all quarantined so that's maybe why it stuck with me, considering some of the themes, but i loved it!
