hi cindy, no youre not a shit dog (felt compelled by the question). how are you!! ive seen you talking about books a few times (mainly the 2023 ones) so i was wondering: do you have all time faves? i dont read too much contemporary and even less fantasy but i did add the spear cuts through water as my ooc read for this year because you made it look so good lol!

ahhhh ok i'll separate this into three categories: books that i love, books that stuck with me/i think about all the time, and then wildcards/childhood faves that still bang to this day. i'll try to exclude my 2023 reads since i've talked about them more recently and did a wrap up on them on dreamwidth.

books that i love:
jane eyre, the neapolitan quartet, his dark materials (series), young mungo, the night circus.

books that haunt me (positive):
my dark vanessa, beartown, the handmaid's tale, ender's game

wildcards/childhood faves:
piranesi, on earth we're briefly gorgeous, a darker shade of magic (series), the westing game, flipped, the 7 1/2 deaths of evelyn hardcastle, ranger's apprentice (series). i also remember liking the pendragon books but even as a child i knew they were not well written LMAO.
