What I Read in 2022

I read 88 books in 2022. Mostly romance (37) followed by adult science fiction and fantasy (13).

I also read a vast amount of fan-fiction, but I don’t track fic on my reading list (which I’ve kept as a .txt file on various computers since 2006).

Best Romance:

Husband Material by Alexis Hall - a lot of folks hated the ending of this one. No spoilers, but I adored it. The ending was perfectly in character for Luc and Oliver. I’m really looking forward to Hall’s upcoming 10 Things That Never Happened (which features Jonathan, an mildly unpleasant minor character in Husband Material) which comes out in October 2023.

Evie Dunmore’s historical romances were a new find for me this year, and I liked them a lot. Grumpy men! Spunky women! Hot sex! What’s not to like? The fourth book (about Catriona! My favorite, as she too is deeply introverted and has uncontrollable hair!) has no publication date on Dunmore’s website, but Amazon says it publishes in September.

KD Casey’s baseball romances were also very fun. I’ve long been a fan of Taylor Fitzpatrick’s extended hockey romance universe; I enjoyed athlete romances for a difference sport.

Most Likely to Effect Actual Change in My Life:

400 Friends and No One to Call by Val Walker - everyone who is lonely should read this book. It’s the first self-help book I’ve read that provides concrete advice for expanding your circle of support/socialization.

Out of Thin Air: Running Wisdom and Magic from Above the Clouds in Ethiopia by Michael Crawley - an anthropologist and 2:20 marathoner goes to Ethopia to study running. Hoping to put lessons from this book into practice in my own running in the coming year.

Honorable mention to Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution by Peter Calms. I’m still thinking about “humanure” and admiring the depth of his commitment.

Recommended:

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas - The world-building is superb. Yadriel’s family doesn’t accept him as a brujo because he’s trans. When Yadriel accidentally brings Julian Diaz back from the dead, everybody is going to Learn Something (especially Yadriel’s family). Also (I feel like this is not a spoiler since the book is published by the Swoon Reads imprint) Yadriel and Julian’s romance is delightful.

See No Stranger by Valerie Kaur - Kaur is a Sikh American and an activist and filmmaker. I wish I could have 1/10th the compassion and grace under pressure that she does.

T. Kingfisher - Ursula Vernon is going on my short-ish list of authors who I will read based on name alone, i.e. the “I’d-read-their-grocery-list-writers.” She consistently delights. I adore the Paladins.

Goals for 2023

A more balanced book-diet. I’d like to read more broadly across genres (I read very historical nonfiction this year) and across time (the majority of what I read was published in the 21st century). 

I’d also like to improve my (very rudimentary) Spanish language skills by reading picture books en español.

Hamilton Sevens: Black Ferns Sevens confirm quarterfinal spot.

Hamilton Sevens: Black Ferns Sevens confirm quarterfinal spot.

The Black Fern Sevens are making the absolute most of their final tournament on New Zealand soil, starting the Hamilton Sevens tournament with two emphatic wins where the women in black conceded not a single point.

Black Ferns Sevens: beat Papua New Guinea 56-0; beat Fiji 27-0; beat Great Britain 20-0.

Two first-half tries to Michaela Blyde sparked the Black Ferns Sevens to a 20-0 win over Great Britain in the final match of the day on Saturday, booking the side’s place in the quarterfinals.

Impressively, the side went through pool play without conceding a single point, with some big defensive efforts keeping their opponents off the board. Like Blyde did against Fiji, Jazmin Felix-Hotham produced a stunning chase-down effort to prevent what looked to be a sure try for Great Britain, and the side absorbed periods of sustained pressure before adding two more tries late through Stacey Fluhler and Portia Woodman-Wickliffe.

Australia, France, USA and Ireland are the first four teams to move into the quarterfinals of the women’s draw, with Australia and USA yet to drop a game.

It is starting to look very familiar in the women’s draw, with that pair and the Black Ferns Sevens setting the benchmark for the rest of the field.

In their first match of the day, Papua New Guinea struggled to retain any ounce of possession as Stacey Waaka-Fluhler came flying in to pick off the contestable kickoffs. The recent Rugby World Cup champion had a hat-trick of tries by halftime as her side’s execution kept the game entirely in Papua New guinea’s half.

Sarah Hirini profited from her team’s linebreaks and ran the support lines expertly to get herself two tries while Theresa Fitzpatrick only made a brief appearance off the bench.

In their second game of the day, the Ferns faced the Flying Fijians and again dominated territory while limiting the Fijian’s attacking threats. The Kiwi opposition’s best scoring chance of the day so far presented itself just before halftime but Michaela Blyde’s pace was too much for the runaway Fijian.

Very cool! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!  It’s so frustrating that SM didn’t give the parents of the Cullens names, even in the guide! And I share your headcanons of Abraham Cullen and Edward Hale. It’s part of why Rosalie’s relationship with Edward is so complicated, because one of her beloved little brothers was also named Edward, but I imagine they called him Teddy or something. One time she slipped up and called Edward Ted/Teddy and it was weird and sad for everyone.

World leaders, including Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May, have spoken out to condemn Trump's racist words, joining lawmakers in the U.S.

In a 245-187 House vote on Tuesday night, U.S. representatives officially condemned Trump's racism, with 240 Democrats in favor of and 187 Republicans opposed to the resolution, which is a statement of opinion and not legally binding.

Only four Republicans, Reps. Will Hurd, Susan Brooks, Fred Upton and Brian Fitzpatrick, voted in favor of the measure, along with Independent Justin Amash, who parted ways with the GOP earlier this month.
