tagged by @nebylitsa - Nine of my favourite books (well, 13 really since I included two trilogies in omnibus form), in no particular order.

#i decided not to include non-fiction to make it easier #alexis wright is like scary genius level of author. i don't always understand what's happening but plains of promise's endings got me hard. #lotr is like hugely formative so of course its there #regeneration trilogy made me insane. it's so. so. so. good. i feel if you liked the terror you'd like it #the folding star also made me insane though i don't rec it unreservedly because of the subject matter (it's been called a gay lolita) #the natural way of things... absolutely shattering. very sensitive subject matter & some things that could have been handled better #runemarks is a hilariously funny sort of... dystopic fantasy novel that draws on norse mythology (it's said to be YA but eh) #(i liked this better that harris's gospel/testament of loki novels) #the daylight gate is fantastically written horror novel based on the pendle hill witch trial. not for the faint hearted #sir! gawain! and! the! green! knight! i picked this cover because i loved the design best and it was the first translation i read. #i love sarah moss's writing so damn much - i think this is my favourite of hers but i also love 'cold earth' #there would be so many runner ups #text posts
