Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday post! Today is a freebie, and so I wanted to take the chance to rave a bit about the 10 best books I’ve read in 2022 so far. These are all books I’ve read this year, but were not necessarily released this year. I also decided not to include any re-reads. But without further ado, these are my 10 favorites (in no particular order):
The Green Creek series by TJ Klune – An amazing, hidden gem series that has taken over my life
See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon – Time loop shenanigans
So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens – The trope of ‘Two idiots in love’ has never been more fun!
The No-Show by Beth O’Leary – An emotional rollercoaster
The Twice-Scorned Lady of Shadow by Annette Marie – PURE EPICNESS!
Book Lovers by Emily Henry – A thoughtful romance full of self-acceptance and bookish love
Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert – A steamy and addictive retelling of Helen of Troy, Achilles and Patroclus
Tell Me:
What are some of your favorite reads of 2022 so far?
Ooh Annette Marie’s books always look so fun. She has the most awesomest covers too, I think.
I love her covers too and she designs them herself, which I think is just the coolest 🙂
I am reading Beach Reads by Emily Henry right now. Glad to know you like her other book. My TTT Freebie list
Hope you’ll love Beach Read!
I want to read more TJ Klune after reading The House in the Cerulean Sea!
I have read some great books this year so a couple of my favourites would be The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman (no 2 in the series – also loved no 1!) and The Little Cafe In Copenhagen. The list could go on though!
Have a great week!

The House in the Cerulean Sea is such an amazing read and started my TJ Klune discovery tour too 🙂 Hope you’ll have a great week too!
It is. I wasn’t sure about starting it as it was so popular, but it didn’t disappoint. I recommend it to people!
Thank you 🙂
It sounds like you’ve had a great reading year so far!

I definitely did 🙂
I am so happy you loved TJ Klune’s books!!!
They are amazing, I’m glad you love them too!
I keep seeing this Klune series everywhere over the last few months. Very curious about it and hope to check it out soon. I also can’t wait to read O’Leary’s and Henry’s books. I hope you continue to have an amazing year of reading 😊
I absolutely LOVED the Wolfsong series, so I can only wholeheartedly recommend it 🙂 I hope you’ll have an amazing second half of the year too!
Glad you’ve enjoyed all of these! My favourite books of 2022 so far include: Know My Name by Chanel Miller, The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn, Fix The System, Not The Women by Laura Bates and Dog Days: A Year With Olive and Mabel by Andrew Cotter.

Oh, I didn’t know these books, I’ll need to check them out if you loved them!
🙂
I really really need to get to the Rachel Lynn Solomon book, the time loop aspect is so appealing!
It is indeed such a fun plot point and I love how it was handled in the book!
The Twice-Scorned Lady of Shadow and Wicked Beauty yassss! 😍
Both such AMAZING reads! <3
Wow, I love seeing not just Wolfsong but the whole series made your list! That makes me even more sure that I’m going to love it. I feel like the lone wolf that did not enjoy Book Lovers. lol
Haha yes I binged the entire series this year and LOVED every single minute of it. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy Book Lovers, hope her other books suit you better.
Love this list! It also makes narrowing down the end of the year list so much easier.
It really does!
I enjoyed So This is Ever AFter and Wicked Beauty too! I didn’t get an early copy of the Rachel Lynn Solomon book, so still need to read it. Great picks!

So glad you also enjoyed So This is Ever After and Wicked Beauty! Hope you’ll love See You Yesterday as well 🙂
I love learning what books other readers love. I find so many good books that way. I really need to read TJ Klune. I still haven’t yet.
You’re right, that’s always so nice to discover new books that way. I’d definitely recommend TJ Klune’s books 🙂
