Here are the Best Books of 2022, According to Buzzfeed

‘Tis the season for Best Of lists! We’ve discussed the top books of the year according to the New York Times, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and more, and today Buzzfeed has released their own. It was chosen by nine Buzzfeed contributors, reporters, and writers, including our own Margaret Kingsbury! The list is divided into genres, with more picks in some genres than others. Here are their picks for the best books of the year.

Some of these picks are familiar from other lists: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin was Amazon’s Best Book of the Year and Babel by R.F. Kuang was also on Barnes and Noble’s list, for example. But many of these titles are unique to Buzzfeed’s list, and it also includes more diversity — more authors of color and queer books — than most of the other lists we’ve seen.

To see the full list, including why each title was chosen, check out the Buzzfeed article.
