tagged by @roderigho to share 6 books that i want to read this year and also as she's talked about her books, i'm going to talk about why these books bc i can

1. the eye of the world by robert jordan

firstly because it's been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years now, but also because the woman who recommended it to me wrote really well and said that was where she got a lot of her inspiration from! also because i love chunky fantasy books, though i don't know that anything can top the priory of the orange tree anymore

2. the sea by john banville

i simply can't keep reblogging gorgeous quotes from the book without having read it, so i'd like to read it! i also am just a big fan of anything about water so it's an easy sell

3. a psalm for the wild built by becky chambers

i read this short story by becky chambers last year and loved it, so i already wanted to read more of her work, and then this book was recommended to me by someone whose taste in books aligns very well with mine so i thought i'd give it a go!

4. moby dick by herman melville

okay so this is partially here bc alexandria reminded me i wanted to reread it because it's on her list. but i read this when i was 8 i think and didn't really process any of it, so i'd like to read it again and see if i can actually understand the words on the pages a bit better this time. also again, anything about water, i love it

5. middlemarch by george eliot

honestly, it just looks like it'd be an interesting read. i don't know much about it, but i know that virginia woolf liked it which is a good start?

6. amerika by franz kafka

i'd actually also like to read the trial by kafka as well because then i'll have read all three of his novels, but i think i'd like to read this one first. essentially, i read the castle last year and LOVED it so i'd like to get around to the rest of the poor man's work!
