nobody asked for this, but i wanted to share it regardless! here are the 22 books i read in 2022, it was a tough year but a good book was always there to pick me right up! so, here we go!

started of the year strong with some sapphic readings

and around this time the heartstopper tv show was coming out, so everyone could feel the hype !!!

i tried following the osemanverse but i was having a hard time focusing, so a good rwrb re-read helped clear my head. also read boyfriend material, surprisingly funny! i was really excited for the sequel

i'm not a big fan of reading in spanish, but una perfecta confusión (originally on wattpad, of all places) was actually pretty decent and cute, at times i cringed but the overall message and community built by the author are so wholesome<3

as you can see, i discovered tj klune's magnificent storytelling... and following a five-star reading with a disappointing sequel left me pretty bummed... leading to a reader's block

but then BANG, i picked up i wish you all the best, a book i DNFed back when it just came out (hah). i gave it another go and immediately fell in love with it. and the rwrb collector's edition came out and OBVIOUSLY i just HAD TO REREAD IT. i finished off the year with homefield advantage, i was loving the first half but then the second half.. one of the mc frustrated me SO. MUCH. she was a walking red flag and i just wanted to bridecarry jack (the other mc) out of the book and into a better story...

but it was a good reading year after all! AND NOW... 🥁🥁🥁

my beloved top 3!!!!! god, these books are so fucking good and i can't put into words how much i love them. special mention to under the whispering door, which made me BAWL MY EYES OUT

if you reached the end of this long post, thanks for reading and i wish you all the best (hah) in 2023!

Stars: Defied

By Rónán-Lukas Trodden

A racing star. An infamous socialite. And a decade-long family feud.

Romain Martineau is heir to his father's world-renowned companies, but is better known for showing up at house-parties.

Giulio Cavanni is a rising star in the racing world, and is heir to his father's luxury car emporium.

The two family-owned companies have been at the heart of multiple public feuds over the last decade.

But when Romain and Giulio run into each other at a party, secrets are shared, promises are made and new opportunities are discovered. With sparks flying and inheritances on the line, can the two heirs save each other from themselves, or are they destined to crash?

A gay love story, by a gay / bisexual & transgender author.

Ben stands, glancing down at my drink. "Grabbing a refill. Want me to top you off?"

My head snaps up.

"Your drink." His whole face lights up red. "I was—"

"That sounds great!" I throw back the rest of my drink with one frantic gulp, before shoving the glass into his hand.

“I thought... I just really liked you as a friend... a best friend... because, like, I want to hang out with you all the time and I just love everything about you... but I kept wanting to... I don't know... hug you and hold your hand and then yesterday, when you suggested it, I-I really wanted to kiss you.”

————————————————————————

I was always get excited when I see YA books with a gay main character because it gives my inner child the chance to finally see themselves portrayed in a book.

"INKED" by J.J. Jackalope out now!!

Have you guys considered what the world might've be like if sometime a century ago, people started being born with ink embedded into their skin, and powers at their fingertips? No? Well you should start, because I have the new-age queer book for you.

Think X-Men meets coming-of-age meets a bit of Percy Jackson action.

My goal is to give a sense of belong to anyone whose eyes grace my work. I know how important rep is to every minority and I want to do everything I can to give that representation.

Check out my website to learn more and buy!

Here's the book blurb :)

After being in online school for the last four years, Scottlin Vincino starts his Junior year at a new private boarding school an hour from home. It should have been similar to any other in-person school-- but alas, they had everything Scottlin didn’t.

A mark.

He'll have to keep it a secret, but it gets tricky when you have a knack for ending up in the infirmary… Whether it be for the hot boy you just met, or you're swept up in one of the freak accidents at the school that seem to just keep happening.

Scott will have to juggle his sexuality, his grades, and his new friends all while solving the mystery of what is happening to his new academy.

I will forever be bothered by how boys in fantasy shows lack whimsy.

The teen girls are riding unicorns, talking to fairies and being happy, while the teen boys are like "eew, fairies. Magic. Ew. I wanna go home and play videogames" I literally wanna punch them.

I want whimsical boys plz. Hell, I want whimsical men. Fully grown adult men, their eyes sparkling with childlike wonder as they cast spells and pet unicorns and protect magical plants.

Jupiter North. I want more Jupiter North please. Read Nevermoor, yall

⭐️✨LUNAR BOY RECIEVED ANOTHER STARRED REVIEW FROM KIRKUS REVIEWS!!!✨⭐️

We now have two starred reviews, from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly! Starred Kirkus reviews are extremely rare and difficult to get, we're beyond blown away that Lunar Boy was able to get such a prestigious mark. Reading a review praising the Indonesian and queer representation has me all in my feelings.

When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb

goodreads

Uriel the angel and Little Ash (short for Ashmedai) are the only two supernatural creatures in their shtetl (which is so tiny, it doesn't have a name other than Shtetl). The angel and the demon have been studying together for centuries, but pogroms and the search for a new life have drawn all the young people from their village to America. When one of those young emigrants goes missing, Uriel and Little Ash set off to find her.

Along the way the angel and demon encounter humans in need of their help, including Rose Cohen, whose best friend (and the love of her life) has abandoned her to marry a man, and Malke Shulman, whose father died mysteriously on his way to America. But there are obstacles ahead of them as difficult as what they’ve left behind. Medical exams (and demons) at Ellis Island. Corrupt officials, cruel mob bosses, murderers, poverty. The streets are far from paved with gold.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this book yet, but it sounds interesting.

I know a lot of people don’t like the show because the premise makes them uncomfortable and that’s fine but since teachers in Florida are being interrogated by the police for giving students mainstream YA novels that are now considered child pornography I need to say.

Big Mouth does not normalize pedophilia but does normalize being gay and trans (literally the best trans rep I’ve ever seen in a cartoon) so please be suspicious of anyone calling it “child pornography”.

It also normalizes feminism, sex education, abortion, mental health, and stabbing rapists and child molesters in the dick. So if you like Adult Cartoons but wish their politics weren’t so reactionary then maybe check it out? But if a shock comedy about going through puberty isn’t your thing then that’s fine too.

Dark Rise aesthetic

"Long ago, [...] there was a world of wonders – of what you and I might call magic. Great towers and palaces, fragrant gardens and marvellous creatures. In that world, a Dark King rose, growing in power and killing those who stood in his path."
