senmut: two snakes twined around the hilt of a knife (General: Snakes Knife)
[personal profile] senmut
2019, the last year before the year of March 2020 which is now on day 2131.

3 movies. Wow self, it's almost like your work got bought out by a bigger company and you were trying to adapt by being lucky enough to land one of their jobs.

~ Captain Marvel - I fucking loved it. It launched my full blown crush on Lashana Lynch, Ben Mendelsohn really sold me on his role, and Samuel L Jackson looked like he was having FUN.

~ Fast Color - ahh another full blown crush here on Gugu Mbatha-Raw. The entire movie is SO WELL DONE. I really wish it had been marketed more strongly.

~ Charlie's Angels - Watched this with my kids on their visit after it came out, wound up really loving it. Watched it recently, and it holds up. +chef's kiss+

2025 book roundup

pauraque: butterfly trailing a rainbow through the sky from the Reading Rainbow TV show opening (butterfly in the sky)
[personal profile] pauraque
In 2025 I posted reviews of 47 books, of which 7 were re-reads, 5 were revisions of old reviews, and 35 were books I read for the first time this year.

and here they are )

This brought me up to 11 novels and two short story collections in my chronological Le Guin project. Have I made much of a dent? Well, her website says she produced "23 novels, 12 volumes of short stories, 11 volumes of poetry, 13 children’s books, five essay collections, and four works of translation" so I have certainly taken a big bite out of the novels even though I'm only up to 1976. I don't think I realized how novel-heavy her early career was. I am not planning to read all the poetry (I'll probably do some) and the only translation I'll be looking at is her Tao Te Ching. And yet, even when I sketch out a planned posting schedule that assumes I'll be grouping some of the picture books together, it still comes out as three more years and I don't know how that's possible. Stay tuned to find out if she really wrote as many things as I think she did, or if I just can't read a calendar.

At the end of last year my TBR list had 180 books on it, and my goal was for that number to go down. Which it did. By three. It's not that I wasn't reading things from the list, it's that I kept adding more. I decided to do a big cull, mostly of books that had been on there for way too long and I couldn't honestly say I was interested anymore. Now it's down to 140.

Of the books I read for the first time this year, my favorites include: The Backyard Bird Chronicles, The Spear Cuts Through Water, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, The Only Good Indians, and Convenience Store Woman.
