Twenty Books Challenge, Part 2

Hypothetically, you are only able to keep 20 of your books. Only one book per author/series. So what books are you keeping?

I was tagged by @the-forest-library. Thank you! I’m opting to do it in two parts because I wanted the chance to reuse some old photos I’ve taken of the individual books (and tumblr only allows ten pictures per post–booooo!!!). Here are books 11 to 20. You can find the first ten here.

11. Different Seasons by Stephen King - This is a collection of novellas contains an absolute favorite book of mine, The Body. It’s extremely sentimental to me, and I’ve owned this copy since I was in middle school.

12. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara - This is just another of the best books I’ve ever read that I need to reread.

13. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire - My brother, Robert, gave this to me when I was definitely not old enough to read it. It’s always been a favorite mine, and it’s particularly special to me now because Rob passed away in August.

14. Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones - This is probably my favorite fantasy book. I just love it so much and can’t be without it.

15. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine - This is one of my absolute favorite fairy tale retellings. It’s such a joy to reread. Plus I’ve had this copy since I was young, so I’m quite attached to it.

16. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke - This is another of my favorite fantasies. The worldbuilding is spectacular, and it is absolutely worth keeping and rereading.

17. Among Others by Jo Walton - Another wonderful fantasy that I want to reread. What I especially love about it is that it’s a love letter to the fantasy genre, and it includes a bunch of things I love: books, boarding schools, and fairies.

18. The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale - Another of my favorite retellings that I like to go back to periodically.

19. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien - This is a childhood favorite of mine, but this copy has also been in my family for a few generations. It originally belonged to my mom and my uncle when they were kids, then it went to my brothers, then it went to me. It’s falling apart, but I absolutely would have to keep it!

20. The Brontës by Juliet Barker - This is my favorite work of nonfiction. It is the definitive biography of the Brontës, and there’s just so much information in it! Plus I got my copy at the Brontë Parsonage Museum on my first visit. It has a stamp inside to prove it!

I have no clue who else has done this, so sorry if you already have! I’m tagging: @dauen, @ninja-muse, @moderngothicbooks, @bookcub, and anyone who wants to do this!

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.

9th October 2023

Finished reading Apt Pupil by Stephen King today. I grew up quite the history nerd which is why I'm giving this 4 stars, but the ending felt like walking *bam* straight into a brick wall out of nowhere. What do you mean there isn't more??

But yeah, this story is hella fucked up but if you're a history nerd and like a bit of gore then this is definitely up your alley

#2023 reading #apt pupil #stephen king #booklr #different seasons #I never knew this was a story in different seasons and now I technically have 2 copies of this story #it's a good thing I like it then haha

All the magazines said it was bad, what had happened. But all the stories were continued at the back of the book, and when you turned to those pages, the words saying it was bad were surrounded by ads, and those ads sold German knives and belts and helmets as well as Magic Trusses and Guaranteed Hair Restorer. These ads sold German flags emblazoned with swastikas and Nazi Lugers and a game called Panzer Attack as well as correspondence lessons and offers to make you rich selling elevator shoes to short men. They said it was bad, but it seemed like a lot of people must not mind.

Apt Pupil, Stephen King (from the novella collection Different Seasons)

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.

—Stephen King, Different Seasons

Today I leaned the novella “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” is, in German, simply “Pinup.”
