2 6 9 12 14 16 22 24 <33333333 + favourite cover/binding/typography you've seen this year?
2+12 & 24 :)
6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?
Was there ever 🙃 The City & the City (China Miéville) (you will be the first to know when I read it). La vie mode d'emploi and/or Espèces d'espaces (Georges Perec) (ditto). About half the books in this post (oops). Art on Fire (Hilary Sloin), Chroma: A Book of Colour (Derek Jarman), Flights (Olga Tokarczuk).
9. Did you get into any new genres?
Hmmm not really, unless you want to count "short story anthology" as a publishing category?
14. What books do you want to finish before the year is over?
Maybe I'll finish Cover (Peter Mendelsund) or read A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (Becky Chambers), but I'll probably stay firmly in Whale Mode until the year is over.
16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?
Counting myself lucky enough not to really know what books are currently getting hyped up. That said, I read a couple books hyped up by acquaintances that were mediocre-to-okay but not amazing :(
22. What’s the longest book you read?
Le ton beau de Marot: In Praise of the Music of Language (Douglas Hofstadter), which was 600-odd numbered pages plus a couple dozen unnumbered pages long
Favourite cover/binding/typography?
Love this question, thank you!
I really liked the typography of Bringhurst's The Elements of Typographic Style (pics). Also, the paper of that book and of Two Titans: Tschichold & Mardersteig (Hans Schmoller, pics) was sooooo nice
I also really liked the typesetting of and reproduced graphics in the Tufte books I read (pics) as well as the other data viz book I read (Picturing the Uncertain World by Howard Wainer), which had a table of contents design I really liked:
I do enjoy paintings on book covers, such as the Hockney painting on Ali Smith's Autumn (pic), which also has paintings printed onto the inside of the cover
The typesetting of Das Parfum was super restrained -- one typeface, different font sizes only used on the title page IIRC, chapters don't even start on new pages but are simply set off by two or three empty lines and a centred header, and it worked so well. The Diogenes typesetter probably was a Tschichold fan
Many of the books I read were ebooks or audiobooks so no typesetting/binding/etc to speak of :(
If I may say so myself I am extremely proud of the two books I typeset and bound this year :) (: I feel like I finally figured out how to do typesetting I actually still really like half a year later. (People with my 2021 typesets, avert ye eyes.) And I'm so happy with these covers too. I had so many additional typesetting plans but no time to realize them RIP (next year!!!)

Okay how do you feel about shipping Hunk and Romelle?
it’s kind of a chaotic dynamic but I kinda like it
if it weren’t for Shay I’d ship them completely
I got zero beef with it! I am a true Hunk x Shay shipper all the way but I can vibe with Hunk x Romelle

🎶✨when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool)🎶✨ :)
Lmao this is so funny because I have the worst taste of music, my top Spotify song last year was He’s a Pirate (which goes fucking hard okay???) from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. 😔 and my friends made fun of me for listening to it like 150 times lmao so I stopped listening to it😭 ANYWAY, here’s me trying my hardest:
1.
I love wavcrush I listen to it whenever I’m working or like just in my free time 😂😂 it’s similar to chill Lofi beats but more intense. This is my favorite song prolly. Actually I like a lot of non-lyrical songs, but to keep it interesting I’ll do just this one
2.
Sad gurl music 😌
3.
A love song ♥️ but make it haunt me
4.
This is a good song to listen to if you were raised in a religious household but are not yourself religious like me. You’ll just get it.
5.
Obligatory angry feminist song 🤘
THE NAZIS CHANGED THEIR NAMES AND NOW THEYRE CALLED THE ALT-RIGHT📢📢📢📢
#someone’s going to look at this and go OH so she’s Edgy(tm)#and just know u can’t hurt my feelings#bc I can do worse and I saved you from tht#positivity posts#music recs#rip to my algorithm lmao#Spotify always does me dirty#thanks bee!!#ok ngl I sent like only three out srry 10 is such a big number 😂#and like just to ppl that didn’t look they hadn’t gotten it yet#there’s only like 3 of us anyway 🤷♀️

LITTLE COMIC based on how I made a friend at 1 am while crawling on the ground, picking up Maybugs to save them from getting squished by cars.
PRETTY SURE I must've looked like a strange little gremlin to any onlookers passing by.
Also yes he held a bug like a CHAMP.
He passed my test. We still hang out 😂

So this is something of a redo of that same idea.#That fanart was the first thing I drew after years of not even touching a pen and honestly I was a nervous wreck when I posted it.#But as it turned out. the people in this fandom are incredibly nice and welcoming. so thank you all for always giving me the motivation#to keep practicing and drawing/painting these amazing characters <3#(and sorry for writing a sappy novel in my tags lol)#anyway i will forever be thinking about AUs where these three get to be an actual family. they deserve it

zombie joe?
Cleo buries her head in her hands and screams.
"There there," Joe says, incredibly awkwardly. "While I, personally, have never failed to shuffle off this mortal coil like this before, I've seen a lot of movies, and I'm lead to believe this is the kind of thing zombies do on accident all the time. It's like, the thing zombies are known for!"
"They're going to kick me out," Cleo says, half-miserable and half-furious. "I just got here and they're going to kick me out."
"They're not going to kick you out," Joe says, looking even more awkward. "Er, I mean. Not that I'd know how you got here in such a way that I know the other hermits won't kick you out or nothing, you'll find I have no way of knowing, since we're supposed to be doing things by consensus, but I also do know, because they aren't going to kick you out."
"I panicked and bit you!" Cleo says. "I got crowded, panicked, and bit you."
"Um," Joe says. "Yes, well, that did happen."
"And I turned you into a zombie."
"And it's really quite bracing!" Joe says. The awkward tone to his voice has gotten higher-pitched. There's a certain level of forced cheer to it. Cleo doesn't know if she appreciates it or if it makes her want to scream even more. "I mean, typically I have a heartrate, but I don't, right now! And even though my heart would normally be racing when I panic, it isn't! Also, I bet I could cut off my finger with next-to-no consequences, which makes it suddenly really tempting to--"
"Joe!" Cleo says.
"Cleo!" Joe says back.
Cleo sighs. She looks over Joe. She's not sure whether it's very in-character or out-of-character that he barely looks any different, but if it weren't for a certain grey pallor to his skin, the very visible bite mark on his arm, and the fact he is somehow already missing an eye, she might be able to pass him off as not-a-zombie. Unfortunately...
She runs a hand through her hair.
"It's fine. It's fine!" she says. "To tell the truth, I don't know if I'm meant for--"
"I should practice my moaning!" Joe says brightly.
"What," Cleo says flatly.
"You know like. Auuurgh. Grrrrr. Rawr."
"Did you just--rawr?"
"Is that one best?"
"No!"
"How about... rawr~<3!" Joe says, and then immediately starts coughing. "No, no, that was bad, even I know that was bad--"
Cleo can't help it. She starts laughing. Joe appears startled, staring at her like she's a large bear that has suddenly started doing a dance. His expression somehow looks even more wild-eyed with the missing eyeball and the dried blood on his arm from the bite.
"Did that... work?" Joe says.
"I am going to be kicked off of your safe haven server for being a threat to the integrity of the place because I'm infectious and you're rawring at me," Cleo says.
"...I will take that as a win," Joe says. "The laughing! The laughing! Not the getting kicked off, you aren't getting kicked off, I told you what I did to Biffa when I was first invited right--why are you laughing more I'm not even trying to be funny anymore--"
Cleo doesn't have a heart to slow or speed, but just then, she feels like she has a heart to warm. Yeah, sure. She might be in massive trouble, but at least this thing she's built with Joe--that's alright.
