22 Curated Books of 2022 Lists

Last January I wrote about “21 Curated Books of 2021 Lists,” which I am following up with this curated list for 2022. It also follows last month’s “21 Curated Best Books of the Year Lists for 2021.”

There are already way too many books than you’ll have time to read this year, based on many of the intriguing titles in these lists alone. And as is common in these lists, the artwork and design of many of the book covers is compelling. It’s great to see that strong, imaginative cover design remains important.

These lists cover a number of genres, with returning big name authors, but also many debut works. Many titles appear on multiple lists, such as the novels Pure Colour, by Sheila Heti; The School for Good Mothers, by Jessamine Chan; and Black Cake, by Charmaine Wilkerson; and nonfiction books such as In the Margins: On the Pleasures of Reading and Writing, by Elena Ferrante; Finding Me, by Viola Davis; and How We Eat: The Brave New World of Food and Drink, by Paco Underhill.

And there is always room for surprises. It could be that some of the most important, best-selling books of 2022 don’t appear on any of these lists.
