I read a whopping 12 books this year, which is more than 2021, so I’ll take it.

What did I read?

How to be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question | Mike Schur

So Close to Being the Sh*t, Y’all Don’t Even Know | Retta

Dad is Fat | Jim Gaffigan

Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence | Anna Lembke

Karamo: My Story of Embracing Purpose, Healing, and Hope | Karamo Brown

Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self Love | Jonathan Van Ness

We are the Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life | Laura McKowen

Then She Was Gone | Lisa Jewell

One True Loves | Taylor Jenkins Reid

Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom is Wrong and What You Really Need to Know | Emily Oster

The Last Thing He Told Me | Laura Dave

Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression | Brooke Shields

How to be Perfect was awesome, but I think my (surprising) favorite was Over the Top by JVN. I’m a big queer eye fan but hadn’t really been a big fan of his, and reading his book changed that. It was well written and inspiring without trying to be, which was just what I needed at the time. Dopamine Nation was also a fantastic read. Highly recommend. I also don’t remember any of the books I read before Pip passed away, so I guess I’m only judging that based on about half this list. Grief is weird.

Also notable I think are the books I started reading but couldn’t finish..

The Guncle | Steven Rowley

Becoming | Michelle Obama

Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs | Johann Hari

The only one of those three I’d like to finish is Chasing the Scream. So good, but so, so long.

Here’s to reading more in 2023.

We tend to think of places like the Arctic, the Antarctic, the Gobi, the Sahara, the Mojave, as primitive, but there are in fact no primitive or even primeval landscapes. Neither are there permanent landscapes. And nowhere is the land empty or underdeveloped. It cannot be improved upon with technological assistance. The land, an animal that contains all other animals, is vigorous and alive. The challenge to us, when we address the land, is to join with cosmologists in their ideas of continuous creation, and with physicists with their ideas of spatial and temporal paradox, to see the subtle grace and mutability of the different landscapes. They are crucibles of mystery, precisely like the smaller ones that they contain—the arctic fox, the dwarf birch, the pimeson; and the larger ones that contain them, side by side with such seemingly immutable objects as the Horsehead Nebula in Orion. These are not solely arenas for human invention. To have no elevated conversation with the land, no sense of reciprocity with it, to rein it in or to disparage conditions not to our liking, shows a certain lack of courage, too strong a preference for human devising.

Arctic Dreams, Barry Lopez

And what have i read this year?

a fuck ton of YA books to be frank - as a YA librarian, I kind of feel like it’s my job to focus my reading within my ‘field’ so to speak so I can try to provide better advisory to kids. It’s a fool’s errand of course, because like, the field is fucking huge as hell and anything i can read is a drop in the bucket but still!!

Of the YA titles I’ve read this year, I’d have to give a shout out to Andrew Joseph White’s Hell Followed With Us, a post-apocalyptic zombie survival story about a trans boy named Benji who may or may not be the foretold second coming that will finally end humankind’s existence on earth

Wendy Heard’s She’s Too Pretty to Burn is a fun sapphic thriller involving some avant garde activist art gone to far.

If you liked Malin Ryden’s Fallen Hero interactive fiction story, you might be down for Tess Sharpe’s The Girls I’ve Been, where the bisexual daughter of a serial con-artist is held up at a bank and forced to come clean about her past.

Special mention to Cristin Bishara’s Vial of Tears, Laura Sibson’s Edie In Between, and Mary McCoy’s Indestructible Object. All worth a look if you want something in the YA space to read.

I was able to fit in some quote unquote adult fiction as well. Robert Jackson Bennett’s Founders Trilogy staring a sapphic woman with the unique ability to ‘hear’ the spellwork writing that her world uses to do magic with was a fun read.

The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donaghue deserves special mention here too. Set in Ireland during the Spanish flu, a young woman working as a nurse and caretaker for her brother who suffers severe PTSD from the war meets and falls in love with another woman who shows up at the hospital one day as a volunteer. Equal parts heartwarming and tragic book, the ending broke my heart into a thousand pieces, 5 stars.

I also finally got to get started on the Locked Tomb series after bouncing off the first book hard a year ago. I’ve only read the first two and found them both extremely engaging, at times funny, in other parts heartbreaking. These two poor girls. I can see why the caught on in Tumblr so hard. Extremely homestuckian movements going on in there.

And of course Ryka Aoki’s Light from Uncommon Stars, a tale of a transgender runaway violinst, the legendary teacher who needs her to sell her soul to the devil in order to get own back, and the alien refugee running the doughnut store down the way said violin teacher falls in love with remains by far my favorite thing I’ve read this year. Please go read this, I beg you.

Finally I want to mention two ongoing serial fiction works I’ve been reading, one is Unjust Depths by Madiha Santana. What if Gundum, but under the ocean and also they’re communists? I’ve only read through the first arc so far – Arc 3 is currently under way as I type, I believe. It’s been a fun read and I intend to get back to it soon.

The other is a bit more unconventional, and that would be Nora [LastNameHere]’s Blood in the Bosphorus Paradox Megacampign Let’s Play. Which started as a let’s play following the eastern roman empire through an increasingly alternate history and has transformed into some kind of amazing communism versus fascism war epic. Nora’s writing and approaching LP updates through various in and out of universe textual perspectives have been extremely enjoyable to follow with over the years with a creativity, humor, and humanity I don’t often see even in published books never mind a screenshot let’s play and I consider it something of a personal victory to have gotten my partner, who has never touched the something awful forms (probably for the better on the whole) into reading it now too.
