The 10 best romance novels of 2022 - The Washington Post

Image
Romance, more than any other genre, is one that readers come to when they need hope. The genre affirms the belief that anyone — no matter who they are — can find not only love but also a Happily Ever After. In the past couple of years that feeling, that promise, has felt more necessary than ever. For me, this year has been a reminder that the personal is always political, and I've found myself reaching for romances with protagonists who are not only looking for that glorious HEA but also healing, showing up for their communities, being courageous enough to fight for justice and striving to live authentically.

Tough times for the Losers. Writer's block is never easy and the Club has decided to nurse their creative woes with a quick cabin trip to Dark Score Lake. (Some locals have been known to call it "Sara Laughs.") Rest assured, this will get ugly. Published in 1998 on the day after the author's 51st birthday, Stephen King 's Bag Of Bones is many things: Gothic ghost story, queasy romance, legal thriller, meditation on grief, and a ghastly reminder that the sins of the father are to be laid upon the children. It's also horny. Really horny. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Mel Kassel, Dan Pfleegor, and Ana Marie Cox as they shack up in Sara Laughs for a sprawling, two-part discussion of the novel's tumultuous publication history, its potent scares, and its protagonist, Mike Noonan, who King describes as "probably as close as you could get to me." Throughout it all, one question perseveres… "Was this King's mid-life crisis book?" F...
