#le moi

vs. what’s been advertised this time (2022):

Thank you for tagging me, @lizlensky ! :D this was such a fun tag game and it showed me I was more of a voracious of a reader than I gave myself credit for this year. Here I was thinking I accomplished NOTHING haha! I also realized... I’d like to read more fiction in 2021 (only 4 out of 24 total books I read this year were fiction! let’s change that)

answer each prompt with the title of a book you read this year and try not to repeat a title!

in high school i was — Reticence (Gail Carriger)

people might be surprised by — Why We Sleep (Matt Walker)

i will never be — Garbology (Edward Humes)

my life in lockdown was like — 1984 (George Orwell)

my fantasy job is — Braiding Sweetgrass (Robin Wall Kimmerer)

at the end of a long day i need — Nonviolent Communication (Marshall B. Rosenberg)

i hate being — Soulless (Gail Carriger)

i wish i had — La llamada de María Magdalena (Meggan Watterson)

my family reunions are — Cloud Hidden, Whereabouts Unknown (Alan Watts)

at a party you’d find me with — Sister Outsider (Audre Lorde)

i’ve never been to — La Frontera/Borderlands (Gloria Anzaldúa)

a happy day includes — Superfudge (Judy Blume)

motto i live by — The 8 Master Lessons of Nature (Gary Ferguson)

on my bucket list is — Engage, Connect, Protect: Empowering Diverse Youth as Environmental Leaders (Angelou Ezeilou)

in my next life i want to have —The Te of Piglet (Benjamin Hoff)

BY THE WAY - I’ve bolded what I deem as MUST-READS, though all the books on this list were fantastic. And special shoutout to Supderfudge, which is probably my favorite childhood book (move over, Harry Potter!) and rereading it provided some much-neeed deep and belly-wrenching laughs.
