The best books of 2022 are, in a word, stunning. There were gripping nonfiction stories and novels about everything from cults, female friendships, family ties, class, and future civilizations. Books that will make you laugh, chilling thrillers, and thrilling memoirs. Romantic books that will have you downloading dating apps again. There’s no reason to ask, “What book should I read?” for quite some time.
Get your card out—whether it’s a Visa or a good old-fashioned library card—and get ready to order these new 2022 books. Do what you can to get your hands on these glossy hardbacks, their candy-bright covers just waiting to transform a built-in bookshelf or be tucked into a tote bag. Go ahead, spam your book-club group text with arguments for why your novels to read should include literary fiction about an octopus (Remarkably Bright Creatures) or a novel about obsessive female friendship set in early-2000s Berlin (Other People’s Clothes) or the book about a mixed-race vampire who can’t stop watching mukbang videos (Woman, Eating).
