2025

Life of Pi by Yann Martel ⤷ I read this a thousand times in high school - I recently refurbished my old Kindle and found this on there so I reread it. A lot of the books I picked for this year's reading challenge have been a slog for one reason or another and it was a nice change to actively look forward to reading something.	★★★★☆
Aama: 3. The Desert of Mirrors by Frederik Peeters	★★★☆☆
Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta ⤷ Being an editor has ruined my ability to just enjoy dogshit writing.	★★☆☆☆
Aama: 2. The Invisible Throng by Frederik Peeters	★★★★☆
Aama: 1. The Smell of Warm Dust by Frederik Peeters	★★★★☆
Reading the Maya Glyphs by Michael D. Coe & Mark van Stone ⤷ I read this instead of The Three-Body Problem lmao	▬▬▬▬
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu ⤷ Look, I picked out 12 books that I had to read this year, one book a month, and Dune and The City & the City were both on that list. After two months of slogging through books I wasn't really taken by, I got to The Three-Body Problem and just couldn't take it anymore. Insanely dry translation with no personality, hard scifi that had my eyes sliding off the page. I'm packing in the towel, I'm outta here. I'm letting myself reread something I know I'll enjoy this month.	★☆☆☆☆
Warriors Graphic Novel: The Prophecies Begin #1 by Natalie Riess & Sara Goetter ⤷ I was a massive Warriors nerd as a kid - I had an extensive RP story with a friend that we wrote back and forth over email after school. I know about Riess from her webcomic days and had been following the development of this adaptation. It's delightful, a great adaptation of the source material and suitably cute or epic when it needs to be.	★★★★☆
The City & the City by China Miéville ⤷ Coming off the back of Dune, I was hype as hell when I started this, like "now THIS is how you write a book!!". Cue the slow and painful realisation that the fascinating world-building was in service of a weak and unsatisfying detective story.	★★★☆☆
Dune by Frank Herbert ⤷ This book frustrated the fuck out of me. There were quite a few bits I genuinely really enjoyed, but I got so sick of the repetitive writing and how every character knew everything all the time always. Shut the fuck uppppp. Sometimes a classic can stay a clasic and you don't need to read it.	★★☆☆☆
My Mum is a Wolf by Shuning Ji	▬▬▬▬
Rusalka: Part 1 by Kamila Krol	▬▬▬▬
Laugh Riot! by Io & Jonas Goonface	★★★★★
A Gift of Crows by Chris Manson	▬▬▬▬
Bittersweet by Gordon Shaw	▬▬▬▬
Dog Body by Lily Vie I think this was my favourite comic from SBCF2024!	▬▬▬▬
CLUMP by Ellen Mei	▬▬▬▬
Fabulosa! The Story of Polari by Paul Baker	▬▬▬▬
Burn With Me by Steven Ingram	▬▬▬▬
The King's Warrior by Huahua Zhu	★★★★☆
A Night Ride to the Day by Breeze Hu ⤷ Absolutely adored the visuals in this, purely on art alone this would be 5 stars.	★★★☆☆
