biggest disappointment: lmao sooo many, but the biggest one is probably On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

favorite new author: R.F. Kuang. if she writes it, I will read it

newest fictional crush: Libby Rhodes from The Atlas Six

newest favourite character: Jude St. Francis

book that made you cry: yeah A Little Life which I still cry over 4 months after reading it. but History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera made me tear up a bit! and so did The Burning God by R.F.Kuang. and as someone who doesn't usually cry at books I'm counting it 🤡

2022 Books read part 2

Last year, I read 49 books total.

I just hit 45 books for this year. Definitely the most books I've read since medical school. In my defense, some of the books were on the short side, but I'm definitely using books as escapism right now.

What I read in Jan-April:

May:  A Spindle Splintered by Alix Harrow - I love fractured fairytales and this one was a fun novella. A Tale of Sorcery read by Chris Colfer (audiobook). The last book of his "Tale Of" series and it was a satisfying tie-up to the series. Hyperbole and A Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things that Happened by Allie Brosh. I loved her blog back in the day and her comics would have me gasping for air. They weren't quite as funny now, and I'm not sure why. What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gordon. I still have complex feelings about this book. Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Kaz my beloved. Inej my beloved. Nina my beloved. Jesper my beloved. Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Jaigirdar Adiba. Sweet, if not very deep. Paladin's Strength by T. Kingfisher. It took me way too long to figure out the twist. But it was worth it. Paladin's Hope by T. Kingfisher. Hot. So hot.

June: I'm So Not Over You by Kosoko Jackson. A great idea (exboyfriends fake-dating) and so poorly executed. Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. A direct continuation of Six of Crows - so many twists I did not see coming. Stranger Than Fanfiction read by Chris Colfer (audiobook). It's not Shakespeare, but man, do I love hearing him make his characters come to life. I still have thoughts about the ending. Minor Mage by T. Kingfisher. I love these stories about ordinary people with just a touch of magic.   King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. Nina my beloved. The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer. I read this in a day - really absorbing while reading it, falls apart if you spend too long thinking about the premise. Clockwork Boys by T. Kingfisher. I love this world. I love these complex, world-weary, broken women and men who come together to try to save their world. Swordheart by T. Kingfisher. I had to wait for the Wonder Engine to be available from the library. I need the sequels now. A Mirror Mended by Alix Harrow. A Spindle Splintered didn't need a sequel and I'm not sure that this was the sequel that should have been written. The Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher. An excellent finish to the series. Here's To Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera. I really didn't like What If It's Us that much - the characters were too young and differentiating between their first person perspectives was iffy. This was much better. I still would have made them a touch older, but it works. One Last Stop by Casy McQuiston. I liked Red, White, and Royal Blue better and I wasn't expecting a time-travel story. Still there was a lot of atomosphere and sweetness to the story. We Are Okay by Nina LaCour. I really liked this although I still ahve so many questions. But this captured the feel of the outer Sunset district of San Francisco and made me homesick.

Midyear book review:

@gorgxoxus tagged me a couple of weeks ago on this one.

Best book you’ve read so far in 2022? A Marvellous Light by Freye Marske. The world-building was fantastic and the chemistry between the two main characters was steamy.

Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2022: I think it's unfair to call Crooked Kingdom a sequel, since it's a direct continuation of Six of Crows, but wow, I did not see so many of the twists of that book.

New release you haven’t read yet, but want to: On Rotation by Shirlene Obuobi. It's a chick lit romance written by a doctor, so I'm intrigued. I have it on hold at the library.

Most anticipated release for the second half of the year: Husband Material by Alexis Hall and Heat Wave (The Extraordinaires #3) by TJ Klune.

Biggest disappointment: I'm So Not Over You - the premise of a reverse fake dating situation (boyfriends who had broken up and then had to pretend to date) sounded so fun and it was just executed so badly. The writer needed better editors.

Biggest surprise: ... I can't think of any?

Favourite new author (debut or new to you): T. Kingfisher. I checked out A Wizard's Guild to Defensive Baking and have since devoured 7 other books of hers and have at least 3 more on my to-read list. They are realistic and somewhat dark but also filled with a lot of fun and whimsy. The "Temple of the White Rat" feature older, world-weary characters who save the world and fall in love (Swordheart had better have a sequel soon!).

Newest fictional crush: Stephen from Paladin's Grace. He's a paladin who went on a murderous rage when his God dies and he copes by knitting socks.

Newest favourite character: When I watched Shadow and Bone on Netflix, Jesper was my favorite. When I read Six of Crows, Kaz took his place. I also love Nina.

Book that made you cry: We Are Okay gave me a throat lump today, but I haven't read anything that has made me cry for a while.

Book that made you happy: So This Is Ever After. It was tropey and lighthearted and endearing. Loved it.

The most beautiful book you’ve bought this year: I haven't bought a lot of books this year as I've been mostly reading library ebooks, but the cover for We Are Okay is quite lovely.

What books do you need to read by the end of the year? My currently reading list: The Once and Future Witches by Alix Harrow, Rule of Wolves (sequel to King of Scars), The Secret of Life (yes, I'm still making my way through), Medical Apartheid (ditto), Struck by Lightning (audiobook which I should finish this weekend) and Dracula Daily. Books I hope to read by the end of the year: A Restless Truth, The Enigma Game, The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks, The 1619 Project, Nettle & Bone, What Moves the Dead.

Mid year book freak out tag:

Thank you to @gorgxoxus for tagging me! I wrote most of this a while ago and then saved it to my drafts. Finally circling back to actually finish it!

Best book you’ve read so far in 2022?

Impossible to choose so I'm going with the book I just finished: True Biz: A Novel by Sara Novic

I just finished this yesterday and I loved it so much!! The book explores Deaf culture from a variety of lenses (adults, teenagers, multi-generation Deaf families, brand new to Deaf culture youngsters, hearing parents of Deaf teenagers trying or failing to be supportive and more). More than any other piece of media, this book helped me understand the intense hatred toward cochlear implants that many Deaf people hold. The book weaves Deaf history and digestible bite-sized ASL lessons into a story about a teenage girl's transformative experience of entering a Deaf school after a failed attempt at mainstreaming. The author herself is Deaf and she interviewed many people within the Deaf community in order to due this story justice and it shows.

Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2022:

Probably The Split Worlds Series by Emma Newman. I got the first book for Chanukah 2021 and then immediately bought the next four books in rapid succession January 2022. Just a fantastic fantasy series with great feminist and political themes, morally gray characters, and unique worldbuilding. Each book took me deeper into the world and each book made me realize that previous attempts to solve societal problems had been too surface-level and change could only come from more systemic changes (and this happened in each successive book in a very satisfying way until things were finally solved with some very dramatic uprooting of long ingrained systems).

New release you haven’t read yet, but want to:

None? IDK someone tell me what to read.

Most anticipated release for the second half of the year:

Husband Material by Alexis Hall, which comes out August 2, 2022. I absolutely loved the first one and I can't wait for the sequel. I will probably buy this one since I'll be too impatient to wait to check it out through the library.

Biggest disappointment:

Meet Cute Diary by Emery Lee. I started reading this but ended up abandoning it because it was so focused on characters getting harassed online and I found that too stressful to read about.

Biggest surprise:

This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. I didn't know a lot about this book other than it came across my radar enough times that I got curious enough to finally read it. This novella about rival time travelling spies writing one another intricately encoded love notes was utterly captivating. Makes me want to co-write an epistolary (@blurglesmurfklaine 👀).

Favourite new author (debut or new to you):

Shaun David Hutchinson. I read one of his books last year but this year I have already two and they were both excellent! I've had the urge to read queer sci-fi lately and his books have definitely scratched that itch!

This year I read: At the Edge of the Universe and This is a Complicated Love Story Set in Space. Both highly recommended!

Newest fictional crush:

No one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Newest favourite character:

Again, it's so hard to choose! I really enjoyed the main character in Man o' War by Cory McCarthy. They made some terrible and self-destructive decisions, but always for very understandable reasons. I loved seeing their growth over the course of the story.

Book that made you cry:

438 Days by Jonathan Franklin. This true survival story was riveting but the part that made me cry was in the endnotes. The author asked the subject of the book why he wanted to tell his story, even though it was so difficult to relate his harrowing experiences. He said something beautiful about how life is worth living and if his story could inspire even one person to hang in there and keep living life, then it was worth it. Having watched his boating partner struggle with suicidal thoughts and ultimately lose his will to live as well as struggling with them himself later made this very poignant.

Book that made you happy:

The Backstagers Volume 1 & 2. These graphic novels were full of imagination and adventure as the characters explore the fantastical world below the stage at their high school theater. Characters are diverse in a very casual way that I greatly enjoyed. A character got too warm up in the lighting booth and was hanging out in only his binder and shorts. A character was shown wearing hearing aids (or maybe a CI, I forget). Characters are boyfriends. None of this is made a big deal of and it brought me joy.

The most beautiful book cover you’ve bought this year:

Haven't bought any books this year! 100% library check-outs so far. But the most beautiful cover has got to be for Tarnished are the Stars! I just love the color scheme and it matches the clockwork-punk aesthetic of the story perfectly.

What books do you need to read by the end of the year?

I'd love to read The Broken Earth trilogy by EK Jemison. My cousin bought me a copy that has all three books in one (it's enormous!) and now that I'm reading ferociously again I should really get into it! The only problem is that my reading habits revolve around e-books right now.

Besides that, my library holds right now include: -I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston -Radio Silence by Alice Osman -Solitaire by Alice Osman -The Data Detective by Tim Harford -The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune -The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (as of a few minutes ago, after reading your post Jas)
