Zine: 2022 - My year in books

My first zine of the year and it’s about last year 😅 My goal in 2022 was to read at least 23 (because 23 is my favorite number) and I was amazed when I realized that I was actually able to read more than 23 books in a year 📚 I already have so many new books waiting for me to be read this year and I am so excited 💖🥰 Also, this year I started reading Neil Gaiman again (this time I read it of my own free will and not as a school assignment) and now I’m obsessed with him. 🫶🏼

My favourite parts of the early version Fall of Gondolin:

Tuor, while carrying a noble message of Ulmo taking a break to admire the butterflies.

Tuor and Idril’s love for the little Eärendil.

Eärendil saving himself by biting Maeglin. That’s the most badass thing ever.

The desperate fight of the Lords and their people and the bravery they showed - except for Salgant whose character just felt so real despite the text being written like an old epic story. That elf (Gnome) is not a warrior, he must have been a good lord and a good musician and friend to little Eärendil. I find his character to be very believable, even though he helped to convince Turgon to make a fatal mistake that cost his and many more Noldoli lives.

That moment when Tuor carries Ecthelion on his back. You could actually feel how important is that elf to Tuor’s family. He is not only a warrior whose name became a serious threat to all the orcs. He is a family friend, and a good one. Ecthelion sacrificing himself for saving Tuor makes a heartbreaking end to the friendship.

Turgon acknowledging his mistake and refusing to flee the city.

I love this early version and I’m sorry the Fall of Gondolin novel was never finished since I would really love to see the final version of this epic story.

A bonus one: Morgoth cutting off the Eagles’ wings in order to be able to fly and fight Manwë in the air. Would be epic, wouldn’t it? (Lol, this one is actually hilarious)

Every few years I reread Pride and Prejudice just because but this year I reread it because my friend and I had decided to exchange annotated copies for christmas! This isn’t the copy I read (I can’t risk spoiling it because she follows me on here lmao) but I love this edition. I bought it at a fete when I was a teenager and it’s the copy I usually read.

"Hanya saja, wanita adalah wanita. Setiap wanita rentan tertaklukkan oleh rasa cemburunya akan orang yang ia cintai. Maka janganlah seorang laki-laki menyalahkan tindakan dan respon aneh dari seorang wanita yang sedang cemburu, karena memang demikianlah tabiat asal setiap wanita, walau ia sudah mencapai derajat keshalihan yang tinggi."

Ustadz Firanda Andirja, Mendulang Mutiara Faedah dari Kisah Para Nabi & Rasul hlm. 253.

Read in 2022 (3/?)

A Room With a View by E. M. Forster

“It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.”

normal people - sally rooney

summary: "Normal People is the story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find that they can’t."

personal opinions:

this book was a masterpiece- truly. i know that “booktok” has their own misconstrued and one dimensional opinions on “normal people” and on a lot of promising and trailblazing work in general, but i vehemently disagree with most points of theirs. one primary gripe that most readers online have is the book’s lack of quotation marks. i wanted to quickly address why i think this is- and why this stylistic choice is so important for the plot.

quotation marks separate the said from the unsaid. in a book where everything misaligns and aligns in tandem to the main characters weaving in and out of themselves and one another, everything can get misconstrued- reality is subjective, things are unsaid that should have been and things are said that shouldn’t have been. the “confusion” caused by this lack of punctuation is entirely intentional. it adds to the book in a deeply profound and impressive way. we don’t know what is said and thought, we see all of this from a viewer’s perspective, like it’s playing out in front of us and we’re telling a close friend about it in a coffee shop. we only get the thoughts, feelings, and opinions that the characters give us, nothing more and nothing less.

i was truthfully and naturally disappointed about the book’s ending- i hated the way it seemed incredibly sudden and cold. it was like it gave me just enough to become invested but not enough to feel content. i hated how connell and marianne never ended up sickeningly happy with a white picket fence. however, this ending was soul-achingly perfect for the book. it would be against its nature and unnatural for connell and marianne to give us anything more than “just barely enough”. it feels full circle in a gritty and truthful way. i loved this book so so much- it had me crying and laughing and changed my outlook on my life and my past connections quite a bit.

there was a review on amazon that i wanted to bring up: “I don’t understand what the plot of the book was, or what the point of the story is. I wish I could have my time back. I guess maybe that’s the point of the book? That there is no point. Who knows. Not me. That’s for sure”

i thought this was incredibly interesting because of the person being right to a degree (besides wanting my time back). they’re right- there is no “plot” in this book because it’s supposed to be heavilyy realistic. there is no climax, there is no rising action, no falling action, no exposition, no resolution, no nothing. there is nothing, it’s the story of two people coming in and out of each others lives and leaving bits and pieces of themselves behind in the other’s clutches each time they visit. it’s a story about gray areas, shared bathrooms, human connection, and painful illustration. if you want a book that offers a break from your existentialistic trains of thought, maybe stick to colleen hoover or penelope douglas instead. this book isn’t a “light read”. this book is raw and deep, incredibly nostalgic, and undeniably brilliant.

i don’t usually do this, but i wanted to include some of my favorite quotes below:

“She believes Marianne lacks “warmth,” by which she means the ability to beg for love from people who hate her.”

“I'm not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.”

“It was culture as class performance, literature fetishised for its ability to take educated people on false emotional journeys, so that they might afterwards feel superior to the uneducated people whose emotional journeys they liked to read about.”

“Being alone with her is like opening a door away from normal life and then closing it behind him.”

“Because of the white dress and because of the small white china cup, he wants to say: You look like an angel. It’s not even something Helen would mind him saying, but he can’t talk like that in front of people anyway, saying whimsical affectionate things.”

“Cherries hang on the dark-green trees like earrings. He thinks about this phrase once or twice. He would put it in an email to Marianne, but he can’t email her when she’s downstairs. Helen wears earrings, usually a pair of tiny gold hoops. He lets himself fantasise about her briefly because he can hear the others are downstairs anyway. He thinks about her lying on her back. He should have thought about it in the shower, but he was tired. He needs the WiFi code for this house.”

“He has sincerely wanted to die, but he has never sincerely wanted Marianne to forget about him. That’s the only part of himself he wants to protect, the part that exists inside her.”
