Another year, another reflection of things I wished I had done with my blog.

But no, this is a celebration. A celebration for still trying to be on the book blogging grind—albeit quieter, and that’s okay because the revving of the blog will get louder with time.

IT’S THE NOVEL HERMIT’S

SEVENTH

BLOGOVERSARY!!!

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s hard for me to settle down and write a proper reflection/celebration post, so like last year, let me recommend some books I read this year that you should definitely read:

• Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir! LESBIANS IN SPACE WITH NECROMANCY AND CAVALIERS. Lots of asshole characters who are weirdly lovable. DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE BOOK OF THE YEAR!!
• The Wicked + The Divine! Forever and everrrrrr. It ended this year, but it’s wicked good. ;)
• DIE Vol. 1: Fantasy Heartbreaker! A comic about roleplaying games by the great Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans. (Described as a “goth Jumanji.”
• The Adventure Zone by the McElroys! I love the podcast, so seeing it in graphic novel format was an absolute delight!

(I actually haven’t finished a lot of books this year, so the list isn’t as vast as I like it to be.)

Now I’m off to work!
