I sucked at books in 2022. Last one I read was in July. Technically I finished 42, but the vast majority of titles I read were either novellas, Krakoa era X-Men comics, or the entire run of The Runaways when I was sick with covid (maybe don’t 100% trust my ratings for that time).
Still, if I don’t make a favorites of the year list, does finishing books even count?
I don’t think it does.
Anyway, of the 42 I finished, these 27 were my favorite.
Ranked below, in a sort of descending order that I wouldn’t defend if put to any scrutiny, are my personal favorites read in 2022.
