Favorite Books of 2022
I’m so excited for today’s prompt. I’ve been thinking about my favorite books from last year all December. I’ve decided to exclude any rereads from my list. Otherwise, almost my entire list would be old favorites instead new ones. Here are my top ten favorite books from 2022:
- The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
- Anxious People by Frederik Backman
- Dear Emmie Blue by Lia Louis
- A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross
- Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
- The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
- The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis
- Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
- Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney
- Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

What about you? Which books were your favorite reads from 2022? Do we have any in common?
I loved the Midnight Library and Anxious People when I read them (in 2021 I think). The rest are all new to me.
Charlotte Burt’s Books
I’m glad you loved both of these! 😀 If you read any of the others, I hope you enjoy them.
Great list!
Thanks! 😀
The only one I haven’t read from your list of favorites is A River Enchanted, which is on my TBR. I loved all of the rest of them. 🙂
I hope you love A RIVER ENCHANTED when you read it! 😀
I loved Fangirl. Anxious People is on my TBR list. I should probably bump it up higher on the list because everybody seems to love it.
I hope you love ANXIOUS PEOPLE! I know it’s hit or miss with some readers. 🙂
Sooo many great books here! I loved 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8! And I just finished my third reread of In a Holidaze. Congrats on a great reading year, and happy reading in 2023!
Awesome! 😀 I’m so glad to hear it! I’m going to try to read IN A HOLIDAZE each December. I think it’s perfect for that time of year.
i absolutely loved a river enchanted too! such a great book.
Yay! 😀 I’m always so happy to hear when other readers love the same books I do.
