The BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR is here! We read a combined 481 books and tell you our top book recommendations from 2022! Larry Hoffer (@getbookedwithlarry) is back with his astounding stack! Cue the confetti! We share our favorite historical fiction, young adult, science fiction, literary and contemporary fiction, and ONE outstanding thriller that made the cut. Don't miss today's blog post with fifteen more of my favorites in today's show notes.

If you are on the hunt for your next debut novel, this stack is filled with them because there is nothing better than celebrating new authors.

As readers that love to make discoveries, we were surprised by how many many big blockbuster books ended up making our top ten lists too. I guess the New York Times bestseller list wasn't so bad this year!

The best part is that Larry and I share many a top pick for the first time. We made some space to reflect on our end of the year reading and how we plan to better shape our goals for a happier and healthier new year of reading in 2023. I also appreciate the personal experiences that we bring to this years book and I think you will too.

If these new books for your stack aren't enough, we are offering a part two of this episode in the Patreon community. Along with this bonus episode is a 20-page reading guide AND printable checklists with our top 25 books so you can take these to your next library day.

We can't wait to hear if a few of your favorite books of the year made the cut.
