“At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done - then it is done & all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.” ― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

My favorite novels I read for the first time in 2022

I usually do this on instagram, but since I've stopped using it, I wanted to post here

So here they are in no particular order:

1922 by Stephen King - I never read King before this year, when I went on a Libby bend before Halloween. This is story has stayed with me. I get why King is such a popular author, his writing style is so addictive that I had to read this all in one sitting. Wonderful and horrible. And though it felt inevitable, the twist at the end still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. (Anyone know if the Netflix adaptation is any good?)

The Montague Twins #2: The Devil's Music by Nathan Page & Drew Shannon - What can I say about the Montague Twins? Other than I will read as much as Page and Shannon write. The style is so cool and the story is a perfect fusion of Scooby Doo and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Truly I love to see a book with such a strong aesthetic and story. I can't wait to see where this series goes!

Any Old Diamonds by K. J. Charles - Another great of be gay, do crime fiction! One thing I was struck by reading this book was Charles' confidence in Victorian history. We love a historical fiction author who cares about the historical part! Plus the romance is very sexy. This was the first of K. J. Charles' extensive work that I've ever read, so I definitely plan to read more soon. Specifically there is a series whose events are referenced by a side character in this book that I am very interested in - hopefully I'll have more to report next year!

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall - Alexis, I meant to read more from you, I swear! (Truly he just writes too fast for me to keep up!) Hall's work made it onto my list last year with he excellent Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake and the very charming Boyfriend Material, but Hall's historical fiction is just lovely. I fell in love with the main character, Viola, immediately which is a feat because it usually takes me a while to warm up to them. And my god the tension between the main characters! I went wild for the shaving scene (if you know, you know) Anyway, I plan to at least do a reread of Boyfriend Material before finally reading Husband Material and also the rest of his books, but that may take a while.

Small Game by Blair Braverman - This book, this book. I only know Blair Braverman from her appearances on the podcast You're Wrong About (I recommend the episode "Flight 571: Survival in the Andes"), but they definitely sold me on her knowledge of survival, as well as her ability as a storyteller. I will say, though this book has been billed as horror, I don't think it fits entirely in that genre, at least not for me. I was never truly frighted for the main characters during the events of the story because I was confident in their knowledge and teamwork - which is not to say it wasn't an engaging read. I found it more engaging because it didn't give into cheap scares. My best recomendation is that if you loved books like Hatchet or My Side of the Mountain as a kid, you'll definitely love Small Game.

The Husband Bluff by @kanna-ophelia - I just (jenny-slate-screaming.png, chandler-bing-hugging-a-record.jpeg) Julius and Wren my beloveds <3. I don't even know what to say here, do you love love? Romance? Tenderness? Do you love two fools in love? and meddling friends who know better? What about class and family drama? The difference between nobility an honor? Disagreeable cats and tight leather trousers? What about the best mom in the world shutting down the worst mom in the world? (I will never get over Mel calling Wren her "chick") Anyway, if you like any of these thins, you need to read The Husband Bluff immediately, which you can do because it's on AO3 right now! (see link above)

And those are the best novels I've read this year!

I'm putting together another list of my favorite short lit, so if you liked these, be on the look out for that post to come.

In the meanwhile, happy reading!

Deirdre has always had kind of weak reasoning for being so antagonistic to Nancy (and everyone else). Her only motives are that:

a) She's generally an asshat

b) She's jealous of Nancy who has the perfect boyfriend and perfect jet setting life

As someone who is definitely b) and also sometimes a little a), I maintain that this is just lazy writing and that there are actually a lot of very good reasons to hate Nancy including:

her complete and utter lack of tact

her propensity to snoop through other people's stuff

her poor sense of style

a general holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to upholding the law, despite breaking the law constantly

once, when her bff was kidnapped, she spent all her time playing games with monkeys and wandering around sandy beaches instead of tackling the one and only person who could have been the kidnapper and freeing her friend

I maintain that Nancy snooped too much and read Dierdre's diary during a junior high sleepover and Dierdre has, justifiably, never forgiven her.
