Goodreads Staffers Share the Top Books They Read in 2022

"Here at Goodreads World Headquarters, we tend to read a lot of books. Like, a lot a lot. And every December, as we finish up our respective Reading Challenges, we ask our colleagues a simple question: What were your three favorite books that you read this year?

It's a nice tradition, and every year we got back an intriguing array of fiction and nonfiction, big hits and hidden gems, old favorites and new adventures. For keen-eyed repeat readers of this particular column, yes, Heino Colyn really does revisit Hackers (based off the 1995 cyberpunk film) every single year! We checked!

There's always a lot to love in our annual collection, and this time around there is truly something for everyone—romance, fantasy, thrillers, eco-science, memoirs, sci-fi, queer fiction, horror, humor, historical fiction… Pretty much everything, really. Alchemists and Anxious People. Legends and Luminaries. And, naturally, Book Lovers."
