Shadow-shapes: The Journal of a Wounded Woman, October 1918-May 1919 | 
Oh, this one is too easy for me. I read almost every book for my Twitch streams three times: once before going live with it, once on stream, and once when I listen back to it to create the highlights!
📘 I've tagged Shadow-shapes because I'm still working on those annotations (aiming to publish by Armistice Day 2024).
📘 Lord of the Rings ofc!
📘 Cat Sebastian's The Soldier's Scoundrel is my most recent fun reread.

Just one book read for the #MRC2023 in May. It was a rough month, and my reading suffered for it (everything suffered for it). Nothing particularly wrong, just doldrums! Anyway, I would have finished Shadow-shapes in a single sitting (it's only 236 pages of a 1920 hardcover), but I was also doing my first pass of annotations. I'll be reading it again while I correct the OCR text, which is going much faster when I don't stop to move a footnote. 😆
No image for this post. I've just finally finished my first pass of notes on this book, which has been effectively out of print since its original run (there's a couple of those glorified photocopy editions around). I'm intending to produce my own annotated e-book of it (why am I like this?). I'm not sure what the cover should be. I'm torn between something WW1 appropriate, and a magic lantern throwing shadows on a wall.
The Soldier's Scoundrel is delightful, and Sebastian revisited some of the concepts as a more mature writer in The Queer Principles of Kit Webb. 1mo
