Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2021

As the year etches itself in the burrows of time, we decided to take a dive into the past. Former President Barack Obama started a tradition where he lists his favorite books of the year. In this post, we will be looking at Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2021! A year has passed and that should have given many people some time to read some of the books that made the list. I even see a few books…

Elizabeth Gaskell has the kind of brilliance that makes you forget how brilliant she is until you come back to her work after reading inferior authors. Her type of talent is understated skill that does everything so well that it looks easy.

She has prose that's descriptive without being flowery. Plots that take their time but also keep pulling you along. She writes about everyday life in a way that makes it enthralling without over-romanticizing it. She can take what would be stock characters in the hands of other writers and explore their upbringing and history so thoroughly that they become real, nuanced individuals. And she does it all so simply that you barely even notice how much talent it takes to write like that.

#books #elizabeth gaskell #whether intentionally or not it seems like january has become the month of the gaskell novel #it started with wives and daughters in 2021 #n&s in 2022 #mary barton last year #and now ruth #there's just something about the bright clear january light that sets off her writing to perfection #and with this book the descriptions of january's beauty made it especially fitting #i'm only three chapters in and shocked by how much i'm loving it #i'd read some less-than-impressive short pieces last year that made me wonder if i liked her as much as i thought #and then this book hits me in the face with 'oh yeah she's brilliant' #i think it's that her talents are novel-writing talents #she's not well-suited to write concise vivid moments #she needs to linger #draw out nuances #tease out backstories #draw threads together #when she gets the chance to do that she's incomparable #the best that realism has to offer #since i'm only three chapters in there's no telling how i'll like the book as a whole #but for now she's drawn me in

can anyone who favors the wolf hall portrayal of AB > the tudors like...explain themselves?

#im speaking more specifically of the tv adaptation but like #im about to make a checklist and if the tudors isn't better it's certainly not worse #both depict her being manhandled by a male relative #AB 2021 and BSR are the first to avoid this but in the former it might count if you count henry as one which technically so (spouse) #AB 2021 also interestingly has a different portryal of her relationship with the duke of norfolk than traditional...? #there's resentment simmering underneath but for all that it's still on the face cordial #tobg's of that relationship (film) is also actually rather interesting. because it starts out very positive . almost sweet #and the book it's very like. gross in some ways but seems to begin with a grudging admiration on his part actually #he respects her intelligence and then this deteoriates #the best one i've ever read of that particular relationship is actually christopher rae's series. again #AB 2021 was supposed to be inspired by tobg but the relationship btwn AB and the duke of norfolk seemed more like it picked up where tudors #s1 left off....tbh...

Using this to justify my irrational hold-requesting

#ive done very well in Short Books June! #knocked 4 books off the TBR and read 2 manga #working on book 5 #next month is going to be Fuck the TBR List July i guess. which may or may not be a bad thing #i just kinda feel like i want to reread all the books i read in spring of 2021? #like you couldn't pay me to go back in time to then but i did read a bunch of bangers in a row and i want to reread all of em now lol #also i just discovered bookoutlet has some of them...and my birthday is coming up... #anyway reminding myself that i can always send books back unread if too many come out at once 😌 libraries are the best

finally finishing the last two books of heaven official's blessing so here's the literal first three quotes from it on goodreads to prove why everyone should read it

not a bad showing, all things considered

#i think it's a mark of my taste developing as a reader #that in 2021 i had 25 books on my 'best of' shelf #and in 2022 i had 7 #granted i read a lot more dostoyevsky in 2021. but still #arden speaks #arden reads
