It's the solstice tonight, and a good time to reflect on my favourite books from the past year.
I'm making very little attempt to rank these titles. They're simply the books that I enjoyed most, and they're presented in the order I read them.
• "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet," by Becky Chambers (2014)
• "The Galaxy, and the Ground Within," by Becky Chambers (2021)
• "Locklands," by Robert Jackson Bennett (2022)
• "Beloved," by Toni Morrison (1987)
• "Exhalation," by Ted Chiang (2019)
• "Fugitive Telemetry," by Martha Wells (2021)
• "Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future," by Patty Krawec (2022)
• "The Vanished Birds," by Simon Jimenez (2020)
• "The Netanyahus: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family," by Joshua Cohen (2021)

• "Bea Wolf," by Zach Weinersmith; illustrated by Boulet (2023)
• "Fighting the Moon," by Julie McGalliard (2021)
• "The Empress of Salt and Fortune," by Nghi Vo (2020)
• "The Glass Hotel," by Emily St. John Mandel (2020)

• "When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain," by Nghi Vo (2020)
• "The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Omnibus," by Ryan North et al; illustrated by Erica Henderson & Derek Charm & Jacob Chabot & Naomi Franquiz & Tom Fowler & Rico Renzi et al (2022)

• "To Be Taught if Fortunate," by Becky Chambers (2019)
• "Helgoland: Making Sense of the Quantum Revolution," by Carlo Rovelli (2020), translated by Erica Segre & Simon Carnell (2021)
• "A Psalm for the Wild-Built," by Becky Chambers (2021)
Ah, but I said I'd make "very little attempt" to rank them, not "no attempt." So here is that attempt: my favourite five books from the last solar orbit — the five I enjoyed even more than those other thirty — also presented in the order I read them.
• "Nona the Ninth," by Tamsyn Muir (2022)
• "Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands," by Kate Beaton (2022)
• "Record of a Spaceborn Few," by Becky Chambers (2018)
• "Briar Rose," by Jane Yolen (1992)
• "Babel, or, The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution," by R.F. Kuang (2022)

Actually, to build off that—the episode I actually find Kevin the most chilling in is actually 2x04, which I know is not like something that makes a lot of sense necessarily. It’s the conversation he and Allison have where she bursts in with the idea to throw Patty a party. It’s that little smile he watches her with as she darts about the scene and breathlessly begins to plan. It’s him reading her, clocking that this is genuinely important to her, and seeming to make a decision that he views as indulging her. He is familiar with this impulsive, anxious Allison (“real special”). He’s aware that this party is about something, he just decides he doesn’t care to know what it is.
It’s that reminder that he knows her—not in like the way true intimacy might foster, but like in a way that an enemy might gather intelligence over fifteen years. The reminder that in fact there’s a lot he understands about her, not because he loves her or cares for her but because he can use that to his advantage. He believes he knows everything there is to know about her, and he’s wrong, but he definitely knows way more about her than he deserves. That scene just feels so like she’s exposed and vulnerable to me, the fact that she’s letting Kevin so close to where she lives (that is, demonstrating to him that Patty is important to her and that something has happened).

Emily Scott Robinson - When It Don't Come Easy (Patty Griffin Cover)
I’ll let the singer say it all:
“This Patty Griffin song feels like a beacon of light in the darkest of nights. "When It Don't Come Easy" has always stuck with me since I first heard it on a burned CD driving on a dark country road on a Tennessee night. I've been a Patty Griffin fan for nearly 20 years. Her music is always raw, reaching, and powerful to me. For me, this song is a life preserver cast out into dark and choppy waters to anyone you love who needs your help. We are living through the darkest times I have ever seen in my life, especially for women and minorities. As I watch healthcare and reproductive freedom under threat throughout the United States, I am terrified for our safety and freedom. I want to help fight for the human right to make empowered, whole and healthy decisions for our bodies, souls, and lives. This song "When It Don't Come Easy" feels piercingly true right now in these troubled times. It's an anthem for me.”
And a portion of the proceeds goes to support-abortion-funds. It’s a sweet cover, too.
