Emma’s Top 5 Picks of 2012
 

1.      Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson – Darkly hysterical, this memoir will provide plenty of belly-laughs, if your stomach is strong enough. 

2.    The Fifty Year Sword by Mark Z.  Danielewski – This novella started life as a live shadow play for Halloween. At the heart of this experimental text is a good old-fashioned ghost story.

3.      The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides – Another strong novel from Pulitzer-winner, Eugenides, about life after college for three students.

4.      Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake – The sequel to one of last year’s favorites, Anna Dressed in Blood. Cas decides that he wants to get his ghost of a girlfriend, Anna, back…from hell.

5.      Somewhere Beneath Those Waves by Sarah Monette – An unusual and haunting collection of short stories from fantasy writer, Monette.
