summeryewberryI have a shorter version of this post up on tumblr, but here's the full analysis. I'm not including books I'm still in the middle of reading. Those will go on the list for whichever year I finish them.
Ratings:
5/5 - Instant favourite, a classic, beyond impressive
4/5 - Great book, thoroughly enjoyed
3/5 - OK, fun enough, don't regret reading but probably won't re-read
2/5 - Has a few things to offer, but wouldn't recommend otherwise
1/5 - Disappointing, meh, or waste of time
0/5 - Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
My list of books read (and finished) in 2022, in alphabetical order:
Cesare Aldo #1: City of Vengeance, by D. V. Bishop 5/5
Tito Amato #1: Interrupted Aria, by Beverle Graves Myers - 3/5
Into the Broken Lands, by Tanya Huff - 5/5
Nick and Charlie, by Alice Oseman 3/5
She Drives Me Crazy, by Kelly Quindlen - 2/5
Christopher Marlowe #1: The Queen's Gold, by Steven Veerapen - 4/5
Analysis:
Books that feature LGBT primary characters who don't end up dead, mad or evil?
City of Vengeance by D. V. Bishop, Into the Broken Lands by Tanya Huff, Nick and Charlie by Alice Oseman, She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen, The Queen's Gold by Steven Veerapen.
Books that feature LGBT secondary characters who don't end up dead, mad, or evil?
City of Vengeance by D. V. Bishop, Into the Broken Lands by Tanya Huff, Nick and Charlie by Alice Oseman, She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen, and Interrupted Aria by Beverle Graves Myers.
Books that could have trigger warnings? (e.g. rape, torture, suicide, self-harm, other abuse or trauma)
Interrupted Aria by Beverle Graves Myers (sexual menace, but no assault)
Books that made me cry?
None this year.
Books that made me laugh?
None? I don't remember. None jump out at me.
Books that were thrown against the wall? (Or deserved to be)
None, although Interrupted Aria by Beverle Graves Myers came close, because I don't like unresolved endings. It's the start of a series, so it's understandable, but I still wanted more resolution.
