kay’s favorite reads of 2022

and now we're finally here for my personal best reads of 2022!! there’s still so many other books i’d have loved to mention previous to this post or as a bonus, but that would have ruined the fun of the challenge that was compiling only a select few titles. i could always write another post in the future but for now, here were the top top top books that absolutely stole my heart, or just affected me so hugely i couldn’t imagine not having them on this list.

here’s to a hopefully good year and i hope i could find even more stellar reads in 2023 that could potentially change my life as these ones did :’)

warning: again….very long lol

but first…….

honorable mentions:

- the bright lands by john fram

“I texted you Sunday night because I thought I could learn to be like you.”

this book not making it to the top 10 breaks my heart just a little because it was one of my first reads of this year and i was absolutely convinced by the end it would be on my top reads list. and it still is, it…..just so happens i read a lot more books after this one that climbed up the ranks :’) but i still wanted to showcase this story here.

joel & dylan’s sibling relationship was one of the highlights of this book for me, among other things, as you would see here and here.

but yeah, i found the last quarter of it to be absolutely epic. to have found out that some other readers had mixed feelings about how chaotic it got, it makes me love it even more because it was an Experience™️; one that had me all in due to the slow & haunting nature the story had for the first half and then it all builds up to quite a cataclysmic & emotional finale.

if you want to hear more of my thoughts about this story, here’s my review for it (x). it’s one of my favorites that i’ve written :’)

- summer sons by lee mandelo

After midnight on a pitch-dark stretch of road, tasting the finer edge of human fragility in the glare of wrong-way headlights, though—there death was a pressure on the sides of the neck, gripping where the pulse beat hardest.

a southern gothic horror that also happened to be another one of my first reads of the year!! the writing pulled me in completely but most importantly of all, it was andrew’s pov that really swept me away, just as well as the relationships he shared with characters such as eddie & sam.

this was a read that i picked up sometime late last year but was hit with a case of right book, wrong time. i was really excited to pick it up in the beginning of this year for its second try and the timing worked out perfectly, thank the gods. again, the writing was absolutely incredible and i loved how the author explored the grief of losing someone who was everything to you in all ways that are undefined, and the missing fractures that come with what was left unspoken.

andrew was so lost in that grief and in his haunting that the moments where other characters pushed him to anger or just to feel something were very intense and so so well-done. i always knew if this story didn't make it to my top 10 that it would have its place as an honorable mention and so here we are :')

- headcase (necessary evils, #4) by onley james

“You like this, like being my sole focus. It’s okay. I like that you like it. If you don’t want to admit it, if your pride is too great, then I can take the choice away from you, if that’s what you want. Slide that cuff back on your wrist and I’ll give you what you want.”

fun fact: this book is my most surprising read of 2022. i didn’t list it in this post because i wanted to have it stand on its own here where it belongs. i also genuinely think if it wasn't for my #10 pick, it even could've made it to my top 10, i am that obsessed with this title.

i did not expect to love this as much as i did, coming in with low expectations since some other reviewers expressed their apathy/dislike for the story. this just goes to show that you can always turn to reviews if you want, but always take them with a grain of salt or otherwise you’ll have missed out on a potential gem, just as this title is to me.

this book is worthy of an entire post on its own, i simply couldn’t get enough of it. asa & zane had me obsessed when i first read their story back in august and to this day, i still am absolutely invested in their dynamic. i loved asa’s character and i loved zane’s own connection to the mystery that’s at the center of the story, which was pretty traumatic, and it made all the events of the plot hit really hard.

i also discovered a whole different side to myself that i didn’t know existed until reading this book so that was definitely something to be reckoned with.

- henry hamlet’s heart by rhiannon wilde

For an immeasurable stretch of time, we’re not Lennon and Hamlet, or two people who want each other, or two people at all.

There’s never been a proper membrane separating us the way it does other people; we’re connected, and it runs so deep. I know, from how much this hurts.

i remember this book just being one of the best ya books i’ve ever read. it’s a story i’d love for a lot of teenagers to read, whether it’s in australia or all across the world, this story is for the youth.

the author’s writing style made it so that i was genuinely enthralled with henry’s pov and the friends & family he holds close, most notably lennon. there were so many scenes i loved and quotes i highlighted, it was just such a soft & hard-hitting book that i remember when placing it on my bookshelf after finishing it, my heart literally felt heavy because i experienced so much with these characters and i didn’t want to let this story go. i never will.

- the child thief by brom

“DEVILS, DEVILS, DEVILS FOREVER!”

note: the writing in this at times was weird, i have to admit. the way the author would include strange descriptions of women’s bodies left me feeling uncertain of what i was supposed to do with it; very reminiscent of some of stephen king’s books lol, but…..

outside of that, this book was just a complete mindfuck as a dark peter pan retelling that was all about these lost kids and their leader who was equally as lost but carried a magic inside him that could sweep you away. despite having read so few, i love love stories that are like a mix of horror & fantasy because the way the scales go from left to right so often, it makes the book that much more captivating and i enjoyed how much adventure there was to find in here.

there was a lot of grit & darkness to be seen in the violence these characters engage in and the traumas they’ve all endured. i think what makes that quote i inserted so special is that **SPOILER** it was the final words of one of these devils, aka peter’s lost children, who absolutely worshipped him despite all his faults, simply because he gave them this escape from their own damaged home life. this devil gives his life for peter and that was the problem, that was something that nick, one of our main characters, absolutely loathed peter for because they deserved better than this, they deserved better than to have to lose their life in some fucked up blaze of glory.

nick as a main character was such a brilliant pov to read from, and very ironically, too, because he strongly reminded me of paul adams from alex north’s the shadows—aka a character i absolutely despise. the good thing with nick is that even in his attitude that he knows better than all of peter’s other kids, he still has his own kind of naivety and is clearly struggling when it came to the relationship he had with his mom and all the anger he’s festered up because of the harsh life he was dealt with and is being thrust into further. he felt very relatable and brings peter down to earth at times, even as he butts heads with other characters. his commentary on the book added to the humor that was very present throughout, which was partly what made this book so fun to read at times.

this story was such a wild mix of different things: horror vs. fantasy, humor vs. somber; dark vs. light; adventure vs. violence. there’s so much magic but it’s all taking place in a crumbling Neverland and we watch as these characters navigate their toes between both worlds and battle their own demons, even if it means fighting with each other. the last quarter of this book was what solidified my big feelings for the story and so yeah :’)

now!! here we go for the winners (hehe 🤭) who made it to my top 10!! 🎉

10. the awakening (lore & lust, #3) by karla nikole

“There isn’t anyone else, sunshine. Only you.”

it is with sinking silence that i express that my feelings for this series have been dampened a little over time and so i can’t quite honestly say that i’m still as obsessed with it as i was all those months ago (exhibit a). the reason why i made the choice to include it in here and not in my honorable mentions (as was briefly toyed around with) was because despite how much or how little my feelings have changed over the course of time, i’ll always remember my excitement about this book, jae & jun’s story, specifically.

i was absolutely enthralled with this author’s version of vampires of different ranks and the way they navigated society as they found love and created families and shared business ideas as some oversaw their realms. i was obsessed with the writing, and how lyrical and sophisticated it sounded—almost too sophisticated when i think back to it, but it was still all together really charming. something i loved about jae & jun’s story was that that fancy charm was still there but both characters shared this dry humor and they had such an easy chemistry that had me smile so much. i loved how even in a story that was going to be focusing strictly on these two relatively new characters, i personally had no qualms with it because i loved the way these two interacted so much, and getting to learn all i could about them was fantastic.

the dominican representation with jun will always mean the world to me because it feels rare enough as it is in the publishing industry to see dominican characters as the leads but in a fantasy?? it was everything. it was everything to learn about how closely jun held onto his heritage because it reminded him of all the good moments with his mom, helping to alleviate the bad that came with being raised by his abusive & patronizing father. i appreciate how the author went about carefully exploring the trauma that came with being raised in such a strict household, and how that affected jun's perception of the bonds that are held so highly in vampiric society. jae's pov was such a breath of fresh of air in his own well of sarcasm and genuine wonder, so enlightening as someone who works in the medical field and who has his own revelations to be absolutely mystified with.

i stated in my goodreads review for this book how the more of the story i read, the more it felt like it was being written for a very specific audience and that audience was me, and that was just really cool. there were secrets that were unfolded and tensions to pave over, but also such sweet & heavy moments that made my heart ache a lot throughout the course of the story. just like with game changer by rachel reid, i constantly found myself coming back to this story in the midst of reading other books because i was just so charmed by jae & jun, they were so memorable. feelings may have dimmed on the entire series as a whole but these two were a heartstopper, and a power couple in their own right, i'll never forget them.

9. with a vengeance by freydís moon

I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.

this was my first read from this author, and it completely changed everything for me. i think, having read headcase by onley james previous to this story, i knew very well what i was getting into regarding how dark the romance would be and that i may actually be into it, so to have had this book actually end up in my top favorites of the year feels astronomical.

it wasn't just being obsessed with kye and eli's dynamic, and how much chemistry they had with each other (which is pretty vital in all romances, so i'm being repetitive here but still); i really fell in love with the author's writing here. i love how you can describe it as a southern gothic horror of its own, because of how vivid & dark the atmosphere was in the muggy swamps of louisiana.

i love how being that this is a villain origin story, the villian was someone who absolutely stole the stage and who had so much heart and fiery anger inside them. i mentioned in this post that moon has such a brilliant way of writing these stories where it's all about reclamation, it's all about gaining back agency in your own body and of your future. the symbolization with death in this story is a heady one (absolutely obsessed with the quote i inserted above), and kye wanting so much to just be gone, only to revive with such a powerful force left me floored.

i'm really thrilled that i found this story when i did, and i wish so much that more people can get into it and see how brilliant the book is, because it really is; it's life changing.

8. the hacienda by isabel cañas

"There is only One who decides who burns and who does not . . . Let His will be done."

my words can never be enough to fully express how much i love how this story made me feel. the closest that i can give is this quote by alexis henderson from a goodreads interview when she was questioned about what kind of horror she’s into, and she listed the hacienda as one of her recommendations:

"To me, a book that is truly frightening is one that evokes the senses and explores the complexity of fear. If a book can make me feel not just afraid—but disgusted, dread-filled, shocked, psychologically, or even existentially disturbed—that makes it all the more frightening. That’s a book that will get under my skin and haunt me long after I’ve finished reading."

the atmosphere of this house that beatriz moves into was so creepy that it genuinely did evoke a sense of fear in me. i loved her & andrés’ pov, for their fear felt so vivid that i couldn’t help but be afraid for what they were going through. i wouldn’t say the story is very slow but it really gets to you with how hauntingly beautiful & creepy the writing is, and it all builds up to quite an explosive ending.

the forbidden romance, too, added a nice touch that i was absolutely obsessed with, adding to the tension that was already stacking up quite a bit in this novel. i loved what @/perpetualpages from booktube said in one of their monthly wrap-ups about this story so if you’d like to see it to get the full scope of how amazing this story is, here’s a link of their own review.

overall, the fact that this story was so fucking close to winning “best horror” in the 2022 goodreads choice awards and still lost (and to a book i have never even heard of until then 😵‍💫) is one of the worst heartbreaks i faced this year, but well….it was best horror to me :’)

7. bellamy (sons of the fallen, #5) by jaclyn osborn

“We were enemies, yet each time we met over this past year, I just wanted to pull you close. You became the one thing in this world I didn’t want to hurt. But villains never get their happy endings. Or so I thought.”

it was knowing phoenix as the enemy since the first book and then finding out he & bellamy were meant to be together, and it was a complete storm after that. i’ve talked about these two so much on here, i just…bellamy & phoenix were a true force to be reckoned with. i wish i hadn’t spoiled it for anyone of their connection because now if any of you were interested enough to pick up the series from the start, the surprise element of this reveal wouldn’t hit as hard.

this is one of those times where i genuinely wish i could wipe my memory of it and get to relive their love story again because it truly was epic. the buildup to their story was books in the making and the author crafted it so well with raising the emotional stakes of it all, starting in castor and then electrifying their connection in daman & gray's stories, it was....everything. also just plain iconic because out of all the brothers, for bellamy to be the one to fall in love with a demon……very in-character for him, honestly :’)

but really, yeah i just think it was absolutely brilliant what the author did with these two, and i loved how in the knowledge of this fated mate bond that is the center of each romance in this series, it felt much more serious in the context of bellamy & phoenix because while yes, they're soulmates, they still had that choice when they fell in love with each other. this bond was what made it difficult for them to be kept apart but they had to navigate the trouble with being on opposite sides in this war against humanity. once they spent that time together and they just fit immediately......it was like a wall of emotions flooded out between them, like there was that spark and it suddenly turned into a fiery showstopper. i don't know how best to word it but it was something bellamy and phoenix said here:

bellamy: Our fated mate bond went deep, but I felt a shift inside me… like I was beginning to choose him rather than merely follow a destined path.

phoenix: “Fate brought us together, but I stand here because I want to be. I choose you, Bellamy. I always will.”

yeah, they're one of my most favorite pairings ever.

+ alastair (sons of the fallen, #7) by jaclyn osborn

i am not, in fact, cheating by doing this because both bellamy & alastair are part of the same series and so they both count as one. while i loved the romance in bellamy & phoenix's story, though, i wanted to also mention how much the brotherly relationship between the Nephilim brothers means to me and alastair's story, the finale of this entire fantasy series, is the best example of showcasing it.

it was the ultimate tearjerker when seeing how much these brothers aren't just risking it all for romantic love, but they're also fighting to be by each other's side. they've been through so much together and they've lived so many centuries back to back. while they have their fun and tease each other a lot, they face moments where they witness each other fall in this book here and through alastair's pov, it was heartbreaking.

i talk about it more at length in my goodreads review here but this entire series will always have a special place in my heart for a multitude of reasons and the song i inserted above--"brother"--is the best symbol of them, and partly what made me further grow attached to all these characters,so i'm really sad to be seeing them go. the reveal that there will be a companion novel released in february with each couple getting their own short story makes me feel so lucky and i'm just so happy for the author because i can tell how clearly the sons of the fallen universe means to her.

her author's note at the end made me emotional because there's so much that a reader doesn't know behind the scenes and for her to open up about what writing these characters have done for her and her relationship to writing, it made my connection to the series that much stronger because i could see all that she had put into it and what more she will be adding to it in the future, all with fresher eyes.

(p.s. this book gets special bonus points because simon actually has a role in the story!! who would've thought?? this is a grudge i held privately to myself for a while with only one rant about it (x), but something actually came out of it!! would've still loved to see more of simon in the other books tho)

6. moth (monstrous, #5) by lily mayne

I’d been convinced I’d be alone forever, never getting to experience any kind of intimacy like this.

And then he’d appeared, bluntly but gently telling me that he wanted me just as I was. Even after seeing the monstrous parts of me. He’d still wanted me.

…..“I love you.”

for a good couple of days or so, i was really wrestling with whether or not i should actually put moth & charlie's story above the league of gentlewomen witches. the force of their love and their entire book just became a whole comfort its own, one that was filled with a lot of sad reveals and long treks across the Wastes where the pair connected in a way that i could've never expected.

moth had spent so much of his life as a half-monster being shunned by both humans & monsters alike and to actually get to hear from him more often than wyn, edin, aury, and gloam in their own books was one of the best writing decisions ever. meeting him in the rycke, there was some mystery to him due to a grudge another character had against him and his unknown origins. to officially meet him in his own story and see charlie coax moth out of his shell with his gentle & compassionate nature was such an emotional journey, and i just loved how we got to learn a lot about charlie as well after briefly meeting him as hunter's best friend in edin. the pair of them in this book and in all those bonus short stories on the author's website made me grow an attachment that is hard to rub off and i don't think it ever can, with a monstrous christmas in the camp the ultimate cherry on top.

the romance was absolutely gripping, and so was the plot as we actually get to visit the cities that the military have taken control of in light of the monsters tearing through the fold that led into the human world. it was because of this book that i really got a sense of where the overarching plot might be for this entire series and it had me more excited for what's to come next for all these characters. at the end, another thing i was left most excited with was getting to potentially see moth visit the monster world for the first time, a place he was never able to before due to how shunned he was but now with charlie and monsters like wyn & gloam by his side, he'll hopefully get to learn even more about where he came from and where he could go from now. charlie is such a huge comfort character so i'm also looking forward to getting to hear more of his wit and charm that had other characters already taken by him and even the ice queen moth himself. i'll be rereading this story quite a bit in the meantime and i'll continue to for a long while, which is something i'll always appreciate.

5. the league of gentlewomen witches (dangerous damsels, #2) by india holton

Witch and pirate danced through like shadows in the lamplight, portending night, leaving everyone blinking and enchanted.

in the simplest words, this book made me really happy. that's why it naturally made its way to the #5 spot.

some of the books on this list did the same thing, yes, but what made this one stand out was just that it was such pure fun. the adventures these characters get into are ridiculous as hell and the humor was absolutely unbelievable, and i had such a memorable time with every second of it.

i absolutely loved charlotte's character; i loved seeing her get to tap into her magic in a way that she never got to before, but in this story she lets it go free and she experiences such wonderful joy. her relationship with alex was so good, i loved loved loved their banter and how much they just fit, just like cecilia & ned in the wisteria society of lady scoundrels; except with alex & charlotte, it was like were like on a whole other level, i was absolutely enamored with the way they were so taken in by each other.

this is one of those comfort books that is genuinely a comfort in all the ways it made me smile & laugh as i enjoyed these characters' deadpan humor and their expertise in criminal activity & making their afternoon tea. it was incredibly romantic in all the best ways and had a main character like charlotte who stole the spotlight in more ways than she believes herself, the literary heroines she speaks so often paling by comparison, as is just my personal opinion. she deserves the world and she gets it.

this entire ensemble cast gets their fun and holds the spotlight and i'm absolutely geeked over the next book that's to come in this series so i can see them all again. they're just....everything.

4. ocean’s echo by everina maxwell

Tennal’s mind was the mirrored universe itself.

it's hard to really put into words why this book is so high up on this list. i really liked winter's orbit last year and was so genuinely excited for this companion novel that is set in the same universe but follows very different characters. sci-fi isn't a genre i read that often but when i do, the titles under that belt always tend to stick to me somehow and in this one, i just loved the world that the author was building here in the cosmos.

i loved how plot-heavy this book is and yet the characters are what majorly push the narrative as tennal & surit's voices really take the story to new heights. their bond is one that has a bunch of twists & turns and seeing the way they grow closer & closer over time, in a way that you wouldn't expect, i was obsessed with how well they came to understand each other. tennal's character, specifically, i resonated with a lot in a way that felt reminscent of mickey in icebreaker by a.l. graziadei, as i also talk about in this post. their personalities are very different but the feelings i have for these two characters is so strong that seeing the journeys they go through in their own books was similar in its brilliance.

in tennal's case, his self-destructive nature and the way it was so hard to predict what he'd do next made me think about how other readers might hold him at fault in the beginning, which is kinda understandable. for me, though, i just found him to be a really well-crafted character who had a lot of charm to him and was intelligent in a way that could easily get looked over because of superficial impressions. surit's character was also someone who really added to this story in a way where his analytical mind helped me in taking a step back and understanding what was going on.

both voices were pivotal to my enjoyment of the story and as much trouble as i have talking about the why, my conversations with a friend who loved this book just as much as me were one of the best things about my whole reading experience and for that, that's why i listed it so high. between winter's orbit & ocean's echo, the fact that the latter evokes stronger feelings for me for unexplained reasons also plays an important factor.

i've been babbling so much on here, so let's crack on now that we're at the top 3 :')

3. the winners (beartown, #3) by fredrik backman

Look up at the roof. Only you and me on the planet. We’re alone. No one’s going to hurt us.

i always knew this series would end up in my 'best of' list because the way that fredik backman writes is so completely heartwrenching but comforting as well. reading this final book here, though, i was left feeling quite a bit empty.

with such a large cast of characters, you would think quite a few might fall under my radar but i can never forget any one of them. yeah, there were some standouts over others but each & every voice in this series--in this small town called Beartown and even another town called Hed--they all added so much to what made such an emotional reading journey for me and i wouldn't trade it for the world. seeing all the good & bad of what ice hockey means to these characters and what they mean to each other was amazing, and the big kicker with this finale here was some of the new characters we meet--matteo, ruth, and mumble--who....are connected to the first book in a way that reshaped everything i thought already knew up to this point in the series.

there's so many decisions made in these books here that force you to trash any black & white thinking because backman captures the faults & hopes of humanity so carefully in his hands and he creates characters with so much dimension to them that makes it sometimes easy to hate them but in other cases, hard to as well--it's all about perspective, you see, and every reader's thoughts are subjective depending on our own personal experiences. the experiences of these characters are all laid out on the table here and it's up to us as the readers to decide how we'll take them. with whatever choice we make, these characters have lived while others have lost and the best thing that i could do at this moment right here is carry the memories of them for the rest of my life, to be honest.

they mean that much to me and i want the best for them, even in the knowledge that there's still probably more sad moments to come--we just won't be there to see it any longer. such a heartwrenching story, as said earlier, but it was really funny, too, because that's just like all humans. you can cry one minute and then laugh the next, you can feel bitter about some things while wrestling with the joy that some of these characters have.

this book was a lot :')

2. echo by thomas olde heuvelt

“When I smile, you don’t have to be scared of me, okay?”

i just loved sam & nick so much. this was what i would describe as a cosmic horror, with the mountains being an entity that really made my skin crawl in all the intense scenes of terror that these characters face. i loved the way that the author began the story and jumped between two different timelines that added to the impact of the horror, and i loved loved the ending. i don't have much of a review up for this book on goodreads and it's haunting me greatly, especially because i still have a hard time talking about it now. it was just incredible, i had a memorable time with it.

as compensation for my short thoughts, here’s a post that shares how amazing some of the writing was 🙇🏽‍♀️

the fact that it was my #1 read for so long (i read this back in march) only to then got beaten by a hairsbreadth of a second by the title that's up next will always get to me because it was so close. but second place really isn't terrible in the grand scheme of things so here we are.

1. stars (executive power, #2) by tal bauer

This is the land where all things die. Where everything ends.

just like bellamy & phoenix were books in the making in sons of the fallen, this #1 spot here was a whole series in the making, starting from all the way back when i first picked up bauer's enemies of the state. this story was worthy of tal bauer getting the "best new author" title and "best director" in the book oscars, but i had to play fair and as a reward, i got tal bauer to beat thomas olde heuvelt for best read of 2022 so that has to be something.

this high honor is all because of sasha & sergey, and it's because of how chaotic things got in this finale here. i can pinpoint the exact moment that i knew this book would be top favorite read of the year, but i can't and won't sell it out because it was so epic, i wish other readers could be curious enough to dive into this series to see what i was talking about.

it's all about the secrets that these characters hold, that their governments keep close to their chests, and it puts others at risk in a way that was a complete mindfuck but was handled so brilliantly by the legend tal bauer himself. i just love how genre-breaking this story was--it's a romance but it can also be called a horror at some point; it's a sci-fi but it's a mystery as well with thrilling elements. it's hard to pinpoint where exactly this story straggles the line and i enjoyed every moment of it.

i enjoyed how much sasha & sergey waxed poetic of each other and how this duology was for them. i loved how we got to see some of our favorite characters from the entire executive saga return back in their own povs to provide context in moments where sasha & sergey couldn't. i loved the way the author explored sasha's love for space, and how that love was connected to sergey in a way that made me, an aro, fall further in love with the soulmate trope. i just....love how all out this author went with this story here; the writing was beyond the beyond, and it got so sad at times, and i appreciated all of it. the ending made me emotional because this was it as far as i was aware, and it had been such a long run in this saga.

first with the executive office series and then here with executive power, it was epic as hell, i will never get enough of it. i'll never get enough of the author, who next to freydís moon, was my best new author as he contributed to what made this reading year so impactful for me. i had read most of his entire backlist all in the span of two weeks in october and then further more in early december, which is just mind-boggling to me because i have never experienced this with an author before. before tal bauer, i had read the most books from rick riordan himself because of the entire percy jackson universe but here, it was more than just one universe, there were so many books!!

stars wasn't even my last tal bauer read but it is my most favorite and the enormity of it will never be lost on me. i don't ever want it to.

and that's a wrap!! happy new year, everyone :')

#❣️#I DID IT #happy new year everyone 🙇🏽‍♀️#i copy & pasted all of this on google docs and it came up to like 11-12 pages so it’s practically a whole book collection of its own :’)#still had a lot of fun #booklr #Spotify

Happy new church-year!

Felt like sharing one of my favourite 1st sunday in advent hymns (in swedish).

1. Gå, Sion din konung att möta, Jerusalem, gläds åt din Gud.

Go, Zion and meet your king, Jerusalem, rejoice in your God.

Strö palmer på väg för Messias, bered dig som väntande brud.

Spread out palm(leaves) on the road for the Messiah, prepare yourself like a waiting bride(as in waiting for her groom)

Refrain:

Var glad, var glad, var glad i din Herre och Gud. Var glad, var glad och hylla din konung och Gud.

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice in your Lord and God. Rejoice, rejoice, and praise your king and God.

2. Han kommer från eviga fröjder, han lämnar sin tron av kristall...

He comes from eternal joy, he's leaving his crystal throne...

...sin ära i ljusets palatser och lägges på strå i ett stall.

...(and) his glory in the "palaces of light" (heavenly dwellings) and is placed on hay in a stable.

(Refrain)

3. Han kommer till jorden att bringa ett offer på korsträdets stam.

He comes to earth to be sacrificed on the stem of the cross(tree)

Att dö för vårt syndiga släkte och föra rättfärdighet fram.

To die for our sinfulness (through generations of man) and bring forth righteousness.

(Refrain)

4. Han kommer ur graven med byte, och skuggornas boning blir ljus,

He comes out of the grave with "spoils" (i.e. the people resqued by his victory over death), and the space where shadows lived fills with light.

Och gravarnas slumrare väckas till liv utor seklernas grus.

The sleepers in the graves are waken (to life!) out of the dirt/("pebbles") of the ages.

(Refrain)

5. Han kommer till sörjande hjärtan, och livet får annan gestalt.

He comes to mourning hearts, and life becomes different.

Han kommer med makt att regera, tills Gud uti alla blir allt.

He comes with power to rule, until God becomes everything for everyone.

(Refrain)

It was a bit difficult to translate some of the phrases because the language is sorta poetic you know? But I find it really beautiful. The fist verse seems to be heavily inspired by Zephaniah 3:14.

Sista natte… eller, söndagsförmiddagen med TSM-gänget. Jag har verkligen gillat att ha det här att göra varje söndag, sett fram mot det och njutit av det så det kommer att blir lite tomt nu. Sista passet med @tsmrunning running bjöd på en kombination av kort backlöpning och sen lite tröskel, 4x6 minuter i ca. 4 minuter per kilometer, en minut vila emellan. 🏃🏽 Riktigt skönt pass! Inte för jobbigt, bara riktigt bra! 🙌🏽 Totalt 17 kilometer idag, ca. 82 kilometer den här veckan. 109 respektive 124 veckorna innan, så det har trappats ned. ✌🏽 Något jag också gjort ett par gånger nu, har varit att jag haft med mig lunch som jag värmt på GIH efteråt och ätit där innan jag åkt hemåt eller vidare på ärenden. Riktigt najs att få i sig energi direkt efteråt! 🤗 Nu är det bara dagar kvar till @stockholm_42195! Någon mer än bara jag som ser fram mot det med skräckblandad förtjusning och tillförsikt? 🥳 🇬🇧 Last session with Team Stockholm Marathon Running. I feel rather sad that it’s coming to an end. It has been a lot of fun to have this session coming up every Sunday. Todays session was a combination of short hill sprints and a threshold part, 4x6 minutes in a pace of 4 min/km. 🏃🏽‍♂️ (På bild, dagens starka och glada uppsättning av 3 timmarsgruppen) A really nice session not to hard, just really good. 🙌🏽 A total of 17K today, and approximately 82K this week, the weeks before has ended on 124 and 109K, so I’m downsizing the training. Next week will land on somewhere around 30-35K excluding Stockholm Marathon on Saturday. ✌🏽 Now it’s only days away! 🥳 . . . #top4running @top4running.se 👈🏽 (code: “rainer”) . . . 🏃🏽‍♂️❤️🇸🇪☀️🏢👟 #trailrunning #instafit #marathon #runtag2022 #longrun #instarunners #instarunner #longrun #runshots #løb #fitness #running #instarunners #instarun #runner #runningmotivation #marathontraining #löpning #trailløb #training #stockholmmarathon #löpning #jagspringer #roadrunner #run #adidasstockholmmarathon2022 #sundayrunday #älskalöpning #tsmrunning #runningman #instafitness #runshots #runningtransformation (at Stockholm Olympic Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeJju5ftn3Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

storm

okay so now that we’ve all thoroughly enjoyed this piece by the amazing and unbelievably talented @peachbabypie, pls enjoy my contribution to the lore in the form of 1k of idiots to lovers (emphasis on the idiots)

“I’m a scared crow,” he says matter-of-factly. “Pansy explained it to me.”

Harry stares back, incredulous. Draco’s crouched on the ground, smeared black in mud, with rags hanging from his shoulders, fashioned as makeshift wings.

“Someone’s stealing my crop, Harry. And I intend to scare them away.”

Here are the things Harry should have said:

But you can use your magic to protect your plants.

I think she meant scarecrow.

You don’t even look like a crow. You look like a man having a psychotic break on a Sunday afternoon.

She was probably definitely messing with you.

Instead, Harry squats beside him and wipes a bit of mud away from the corner of Draco’s eye. He says, “I like your wings.”

They stay outside until the sun lands low on the horizon and Harry’s calves cramp and knees creak.

The next morning, Harry spots a flash of white scaling the tree outside his kitchen window. He sighs, grabs his basket, and heads out the door. “Hullo!” He calls up into the branches.

Draco’s face peeks through the leaves. He’s scrubbed clean today, pink and pretty like strawberries and cream. There’s still a spot of mud caked to the top of Draco’s pointed ears and Harry has no plans to point it out.

“So where are these crops of yours anyway?”

“Hello,” Draco sniffs. Then, waving his hand vaguely in Harry’s direction, “Oh, all around. I garden where there’s the best sunlight and soil in the village.”

“You know, that might explain why your plants are disappearing.” Harry cranes his neck and shields his eyes from the sun. It’s worth it just to keep looking at Draco. “You’re gardening on other people’s land.”

“Private property is theft, Harry,” he replies gravely.

It was a mistake introducing him to Hermione, Harry thinks fondly. “Still, you might want to make an announcement to all the neighbors. Make sure they know about your plants.”

“I don’t speak to humans.”

“You speak to me.” Harry’s sure that he’s imagining Draco’s blush. “And Ron and Hermione,” he continues.

“Yes, well,” Draco stutters, “you’re not like the others.” He mumbles something else that Harry doesn't quite catch but Harry grins, wide and foolish, nonetheless.

“I’ll be working today,” Harry says, wandering into his fields. “I’ll keep an eye out for any intruders for you.” He finds the rosewood patch in a matter of minutes, so close that he can still see Draco if he squints. It grows in arbitrary, rare patches, and Harry plucks them gently and lays them in his basket.

There’s a loud yelp and Harry looks up abruptly to see Draco come crashing down the tree. He drops the saplings and rushes forward. “Oh god, did you fall?”

Draco, running towards him, halts surprisedly, then sneers. “No, I didn’t fall. Fae don’t fall.” Then, he creeps closer, suspicious. “What are you doing?”

Harry rolls up his sleeves and continues pulling saplings from the ground. “I use a lot of young rosewood in my work,” he explains. “It’s very conducive to magic, you know?”

Draco gapes as if he has a thousand questions to ask and Harry wonders if this is how he had looked yesterday when he found Draco crouching in the mud, disguised as a man-sized crow. Eventually, he asks softly, “Do you— does it smell like anything to you?”

Harry stares. He slowly brings the saplings to his nose and breathes in a lungful of dirt. “No,” he coughs.

There’s a flash of disappointment across Draco’s face, quickly covered with a haughty scoff. “You’re human,” he replies. “You have a weak nose.”

“Okay—?” Draco sprints away before Harry can finish. Harry stares at the edge of the clearing and into the woods where Draco disappeared. Then, he shakes his head and gets back to work.

“Mother of fuck—”

It’s the next morning and Harry was washing his dishes, singing lightly, until he glanced up to see Draco’s grim face framed in the window, staring at him determinedly. “Merlin’s cock and cunt,” he mutters, stepping over the broken dish on the floor and waving Draco over to the front.

“Hello,” Draco says primly when Harry swings the door open. He’s drenched, his hair sticking to his forehead and tiny raindrops clinging to his eyelashes.

“Why the hell are you standing outside in a storm?”

“I needed to speak with you.”

“Why didn’t you come in?”

“You’ve never invited me,” Draco replies, sulking slightly.

“What’re you a vampire?”

Draco blinks owlishly.

“You know— because of the myth… You have to invite vampires—” Harry sighs and waves Draco in. “Get in here.”

Draco allows Harry a small smile and trails in. He stands in the middle of the living room and glances around, wide-eyed.

Harry rubs at the back of his neck, embarrassed. “It’s not much—”

“I really like it,” Draco interrupts, pawing gently at the blankets on his sofa.

“Oh.” Harry watches him carefully, with a dopey smile, deciding that he quite likes the sight of Draco in his home.

“Harry?”

“Yeah?”

“I was asking about the rosewood? You said you use it for your work?”

Harry nods and leads him to his desk, where the saplings are lying side-by-side. He picks one up in demonstration. “It’s something Hermione told me once— that magic is merely an expression of love. So I use a lot of rosewood since its properties facilitate strong emotions,” Harry explains. He pinches off the roots from the saplings and drops them in a bowl of water. Once they’ve matured by the moonlight, Harry will bind his wands in the concoction. He begins to explain this step but startles when he catches Draco’s expression. “Are you okay?”

“So!” He seethes, digging his finger into Harry’s chest. “I was right, then? You’re making illegal love potions with my rosewood?”

“What potions? Wait— your rosewood?” Harry asks incredulously. Then, in a moment of clarity, “Ah, shit. I’m the thief.”

Draco nods furiously. “You’ve stolen from me, you’ve corrupted my harvest with your illicit potion making— I can’t believe— I should strike you down where you stand, Potter!”

“I’m making wands, Draco,” Harry interrupts. “Not potions. I soak my wands in rosewood roots.”

Draco goes very still. “Wands?”

“Yeah. For kids who can’t afford them. And I swear, I had no idea the plants were yours.”

“For children? You’re spreading my magic, my fae magic, to human children?”

Harry glances away and replies quietly. “Humans aren’t born with an innate magical ability like the fae. We have to learn. Our children, especially, have trouble. Not because they’re not talented, but because it’s difficult for them to express their emotions and transform it into magic. There are accidents nearly everyday, did you know that? Magical outbursts that hurt the kids and everyone around them.”

Draco’s listening carefully, head tilted.

Harry continues. “These wands help them. Maybe it's the rosewood, maybe it’s your magic, or maybe some combination— the point is, Draco, you’ve helped a lot of children. And I’d really like to keep doing that.”

Draco gazes expressionless out the window. “I suppose it’s better than what I thought you were doing,” he sighs eventually.

Harry chuckles wryly. “Why would you think I was making love potions?”

Draco reaches out and twirls a sapling between his fingers. “Because… Rosewood roots are the primary ingredient in Amortentia. They’re the reason that love potions smell like the person you— you know…” He breaks away from Harry’s eyes, blushing and unbearably sweet, and Harry leans in closer.

“So,” he teases gently, “your non-human, super-strong nose didn’t catch on to the fact that I was the one stealing your plants?”

“Of course I smelled you!” Draco replies fiercely. “I just thought it was—”

Oh. “You thought it was just the rosewood, the person that you…” Draco looks about ready to bolt and Harry figures it’s the closest to a confession he’ll get. “I—uh. I have something to confess too,” he says.

Draco glances back at him interestedly.

“It’s a scarecrow, not a scared crow. It’s a straw mannequin that you put up in the fields to scare away birds.”

“So why’d you sit outside with me all afternoon?” Draco asks indignantly.

Harry smiles patiently, waiting.

Then, a smile, wide and bright, mirroring Harry’s own. “Oh.”

svt(.)se/sport/fotboll/musovic-om-att-sla-sig-fram-i-chelsea-jag-konkurrerar-pa-allvar Good read on ZM and the competition with Berger and Telford

Thanks for sharing the article!

Sounds pretty similar to what she’s said before that she’s not here to sit on the bench. She wants to be Chelsea’s #1 GK

Zecira Musovic has had a competitive situation with Jennifer Falk to be in the Swedish national team. In the new club Chelsea, it is an even tougher situation with Germany and England national team goalkeepers in the squad. But Musovic is not afraid.

- I compete seriously, says Musovic to SVT Sport.

She moved to London on January 3 and did not get a place in the squad when Chelsea beat Reading 5-0 in the restart of the English women's league on Sunday. Then the German national team goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger stood in the goal while the English national team goalkeeper Carly Telford sat on the bench. Musovic is stimulated by competition.

- We compete on the same terms to play. It is a competitive situation and it is the training that decides. I have come in a bit in the middle of everything, but based on what I have seen, it is the case that we compete on the same terms. It is the one who is the best in the training who will also get to play, says Musovic who has noticed a much higher intensity in the training that is much higher class than she is used to from the time in Rosengård.

"I'm not here to be a tourist"

- A first step is to adapt to the amount of training and to let the body adapt to it and teach me the team's principles, which players I play with. But it is clear that I have high expectations and I am not here to be a tourist.

Even though there are two better qualified goalkeepers, Musovic has good hopes of being able to stand out.

- There are two very good goalkeepers, but at the same time when you look out over Europe, it looks like this in the top teams: There are two, three very good goalkeepers in the squad and it is rare for any of them to stand out. It is a very good competition and a very good environment for me to be in. It is a group that cares about the goalkeeper community and that you have fun in training. It is joy combined with an incredible quality. That combination and that competition will be brilliant for me.

"Must be patient in the beginning"

How much do you expect to play in the future?

- I have just come over from Sweden, from one league to another league, and there is a very big difference, even between the teams there is a very big difference with a different intensity and I have to be patient here in the beginning so that I get into everything.

How do you think you stand against Berger and Telford when you train?

- Good, I feel that I have gotten into it, but of course there are some techniques that are different compared to what I have worked with in Sweden. Those pieces I feel I need to adapt to. But I am learning and am very curious and expectant to learn the specific techniques. The general technology that exists everywhere in the world, I feel that I master and am far ahead. I'm seriously competing.

"Fantastic with two Swedes in the team"

So you have two Swedish teammates in Jonna Andersson and Magdalena Eriksson. How do you experience it?

- It is fantastic to have two Swedes in the team. We are a small Scandinavian group with Danish and Norwegian players, a group that can speak Swedish with each other and it is very nice, especially when you come here as a new member of a team.

On Sunday, Manchester United awaits at home in a league final. Musovic was not in the squad last time and does not know how the management reasons before Sunday's match.

- No clue. I'm doing my best in training so we'll see.

#always good to have more competition!#hope she does well at chelsea #Anonymous

MM CARDS! Thank you so much!😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rachel Markle`s `poor me`cards

the so called ´race card´…

…“Although Meghan Markle has situated herself as biracial, the African-American spectacle and glory at the wedding tells another story: that of a proud black woman.”…

……..

the `Diana 2.0` card…

Meghan Markle, is being “vilified and chased” by the tabloid press in the same way the late Princess Diana was, Hollywood superstar George Clooney has told an Australian magazine. Clooney, a close friend of the duchess formerly known as actress Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, warned of “history repeating” itself with the increasingly feverish media attention on the expectant royal couple.

“I do want to say, they’re just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere,” Clooney told Who magazine during an interview in Los Angeles. “She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was, and it’s history repeating itself,” he added.

- > the ONLY `private` `chased` moments of Rachel Markle during her entire… `pregnancy`…

the `humanitarian card`…

From a $200,000 two day baby shower to a $500,000 maternity wardrobe… Along with her friends, Meghan Markle spent her time in the city dining in exclusive restaurants, according to Catriona Harvey-Jenner for Cosmopolitan.

Meghan Markle arrived at she shower in style - she reportedly flew from London to New York vie private jet for an estimated $ 100,000… Meghan Markle has been regularly receiving acupuncture by a celebrity acupuncturist at an herbal wellness centre leading up to the birth, which can cost $8,113 (6,200 pounds) for a year of 45-minute sessions, Lester reported, citing a source.

Meghan’s maternity wardrobe is worth six figures, Krystin Arneson for Glamour reported, citing research by Love the Sales’ blog. She’s spent as much on maternity clothes as she has on her entire prematernity wardrobe, which cost $508,000, Arneson reported.

The trademark for Meghan Markle's lifestyle website The Tig has been renewed.

Her business manager, Andrew Meyer, has filed documents in the US using a company called Frim Fram to keep rights to the name until at least 2021, it is reported.

“On one personal note, may I just say that while I am here with my husband as a member of the royal family, I want you to know that for me, I am here as a mother, as a wife, as a woman, as a woman of colour, and as your sister,” Meghan Markle said to cheers from the crowd. “I am here with you, and I am here for you.“…

….. private `pay to meet` meeting`…

“Sussex Royal The Foundation” … a private limited company…

Meghan Markle has been praised as an ‘inspiration’ by Michelle Obama for her charity work. In an Instagram post, the former First Lady, 55, penned a touching tribute to the Duchess of Sussex, 38, and commended her work during the 10-day royal tour of Africa.

Alongside a photograph of the royal attending a reception for Young People at the Residence of the British High Commissioner in Cape Town, Michelle Obama wrote: 'Thank you to my friend, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex, a thoughtful leader who is breaking the mold and making our world better for it. Whether meeting with our leaders or helping girls around the world seek the education they deserve, she is an inspiration to so many.’…

—–> Meghan Markle Brexit Sex Tape Video Celeb Jihad …

the `I´m not OK` plus `newlywed` card…

…“not many asked, if I´m okay”…

the "relentless propaganda" by the `British tabloids` card…

Hillary Clinton has spoken out about the ‘inexplicable’ way the Duchess of Sussex is treated by the British media. The former US presidential candidate told The Sunday Times Magazine that she is a “huge Meghan Markle fan”.

Meghan Markle has filed a legal claim against a British newspaper group. Markle is suing the publication over the misuse of private information, infringement of copyright, and breach of the Data Protection Act 2008 after it published excerpts from the letter earlier this year.

Meghan Markle's best friends speaks to People magazine about the woman they know and love…

…Meghan Markle has been accused of leaking the contents of the private letter she wrote to her father even before it was published by the Mail On Sunday… An anonymous friend of the royal quoted the letter during an interview with People magazine back in February. The friend said: “She’s like, 'Dad. I’m so heartbroken. I love you, I have one father. Please stop victimising me through the media so we can repair our relationship.' Markle "could be asked to swear on oath” whether she orchestrated the interview, The Mirror reports. Thomas Markle said he wouldn’t have released the letter "had it not been for the People magazine piece which meant I had to release portions to defend myself.“

A journalist has claimed that before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle "begged her” to get her in the tabloids. The Mail on Sunday’s columnist Katie Hind told The Sun she met Markle in 2013, after Markle "hounded" her for a meeting.

MEGHAN Markle was desperate to find a British man before meeting Prince Harry, as it has been revealed that the Duchess secretly swapped messages with X Factor winner Matt Cardle just months before befriending her husband-to-be.

One of Meghan Markle’s friends has revealed the Duchess asked for help finding a well-known British man she could date. The English TV personality Lizzie Cundy became friends with Meghan in 2013 at a charity dinner in London, three years before the Suits star met Prince Harry. Cundy told The Sun Meghan asked her if she knew any high profile suitors after divorcing her first husband Trevor Engelson that same year. “We were having a girly chat and then she said, ‘Do you know any famous guys? I’m single and I really love English men’, so I said, ‘we’ll go out and find you someone’,” Cundy said, adding she showed Meghan a picture of footballer Ashley Cole.

the `victim` card…

Meghan Markle has hired a crisis management firm to improve her damaged image…

In a massive break with royal tradition, Meghan Markle went behind the backs of Buckingham Palace advisers to hire the company, known for using the so-called “dark arts” of public relations to improve the celebs’ reputations. Chief executive Shawn Sachs and Keleigh Thomas Morgan, who represented Meghan Markle when she was an actress on the drama Suits, have been guiding her through recent high-profile incidents, including a guest edit of Vogue magazine. “Meghan trusts Keleigh, who got a prime seat at her wedding and she’s known for years.”

The firm is advising on plans for the new Sussex Royal charity foundation.
