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.
