“You will love Nona, and Nona loves you.” —Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Once and Future Witches Nona the Ninth is finally here!

Nona the Ninth is the latest entry in the epic science fantasy series The Locked Tomb. Mixing humor and dark subject matter, The Locked Tomb contains swashbuckling action, waves of bones, and lesbian necromancers in space.

“You saw yourself as an unholy triptych, three into one, one into three: she the girl, you the Devil, I the Saint. And you understood, finally, that there had never truly been a she or a you but only a terrible, lonely I.”

Inspired by the awesome short story The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E. Harrow

Starting my 4th book in just as many days. A blind recommendation from a friend. I did read the blurb at some point, but I have no memory of it. No idea what the genre is, just blindly trusting my friend. Gonna be an adventure

The other kids sensed the hunger behind the smile and avoided me out of an animal certainty that, if we were all shipwrecked together, I’d be found six weeks later picking my teeth with their bones

"People like me have to make two lists: what they need and what they want. You keep the first list short, if you're smart, and you burn the second one." - Alix E. Harrow, Starling House

Someone asked for my favorite books of the nearly 200 I read in 2022, so, in no particular order:

The story of a girl, a book, and secret doors. The sort of book you lose an entire evening to. Harrow is one of my favorite authors of late.

Police brutality through the lens of mythos. My review for this one was simply “I desperately need to know what comes next.”

This whole trilogy belongs on the list. Magic, family, and politics unspool in a world that leaps off the page. Rarely have I found a series so alive, I forget I’m reading.

A creepy tale of sisterhood. The eerie energy rendered this impossible to put down.

A much sadder tale of sisterhood. There are images in this book that are still haunting me months later.

A sapphic YA mystery with complex characters. Honestly, at this point, I’d read McQuiston’s grocery lists.

No best of list would be complete without Paper Girls. The comic story is much weirder and wilder than the show, but both are excellent at *getting* what it is to be a girl on the cusp of growing up.

Music, magic, and a battle for New Orleans. Fantastical storytelling at its best. I was utterly absorbed.

A mother who subsists on books fights to protect her much more complicated son. It has a dark fairy tale energy I couldn’t get enough of, and a sapphic romance to boot.

Part real-life story of a 1629 shipwreck, part invented tale of a young boy coping with grief in 1989. It’s absolutely brutal on about six different levels, but entrancing.

It's my favorite time of year! Time to make my annual blog post about the best queer books I read in the last 12 months!

I've been doing this since 2017 so here, go back and see some trends: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022

Now, you may look at the covers of this year's batch and think... Four out of five of those are... kind of intense looking. Are you okay. And the answer is no, but are any of us? These books will help! Probably!

The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson (lesbian, gay, bisexual, poly characters)

Ok so this book comes with like. All of the trigger warnings. Government sanctioned homophobia, racism, eugenics, graphic depictions of violence... read this one when you're feeling strong. It's a fantasy novel about characters who fight against those things in a world colonized by a profit-driven (and often, too familiar) empire. Brilliantly written, but steel your heart.

Twelve Percent Dread by @emilyscartoons (nonbinary characters)

Let's lighten up a bit, shall we? This one's a graphic novel that, as promised on the back cover, is fast paced and action-packed. Follow the adventures of Katie and Nas as they navigate jobs, adulthood, and the whims of one eccentric tech CEO who's going to change the world, one way or another.

The World We Make by @nkjemisin (ace, gay, lesbian, trans characters)

This one's a sequel, so sorry (not sorry) you're going to have to read The City We Became first. You'll love it, and you'll love this sequel. It's about New York manifested in human avatars, and it's about home and the power of being where you belong. The characters deal with some very real, familiar problems - and then they STOMP ON THEM WITH AWESOME GIANT CITY POWERS. Very satisfying read, highly recommend.

Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (wlw characters & general gender shenanigans)

This one's the third in the series, also not sorry about this one, start with Gideon the Ninth. It's sci fi! It's necromancy! God is there and he's depressed. It's really hard to describe.

A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow (bisexual, lesbian characters)

A novella for when you are short on time or attention span and want a Sleeping Beauty remix told by an author who knows her folklore. Definitely have the second novella in the series, A Mirror Mended, on hand for when you finish - you'll want more.

THE SIX DEATHS OF THE SAINT by Alix E. Harrow

But you rose, as you always did, and you looked into the pool, as you always did. You saw yourself as a sickly child, and you understood once again who you were, and would be, and are now: a woman following her own footprints, a snake eating her own tail, forever.
