8. Peril by Bob Woodward
& Robert Costa - Almost tied with the Trump Tapes audiobook, which has its gems, but Peril takes the spot for its broader perspective/sources. One jaw-dropping story after another. "He tweeted too much but he got the job done" slams into this brick wall.

From my #LibFaves22 Woke up early to finish this last week, so I'm going to add to my top 10. EMPIRE OF EXILES by Erin M. Evans is found family #fantasy with characters I instantly cared about, set in an intricate & intriguing world. Bonus is a police procedural storyline and lots of twists. @bookstodon

I've been a pretty quiet Twitter user, mostly pushing my #librarything reviews to it, but I was actually getting more active with the #libfaves22 thread. If you're not in #libraryland, the hashtag was meant to highlight library professionals' favorite books of 2022 for easy recommendations to promote. I'll list my top ten favorites in the next post.

The overwhelming winner of #libfaves22 is REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES with 14 votes. https://twitter.com/robinsbooks/status/1603391552809836545?s=20&t=QL7B-YxMmG6XTkHX7YzMHQ

Drumroll please! My NUMBER ONE favorite book released in 2022 is DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. #libfaves22 @bookstodon #bookstodon

Another of my top 10 books for 2022 and it's clear how much "comfort reading" I did with favorite authors & familiar stories this year! Was so glad to return to the world of Celehar in THE GRIEF OF STONES by Katherine Addison. #LibFaves22 #Fantasy @bookstodon

Almost done with my 2022 books countdown! Number 2 is BABEL by R. F. Kuang! #libfaves22 #bookstodon @bookstodon

7. Green Lantern: Alliance by Minh Lê, Andy Tong, Sarah Stern, and Ariana Maher - There's always room for a Lantern/Flash team-up, especially one following Tai Pham's wonderful debut book. I'll let past me show off some of the goods:

And starting my top three 2022 books for @bookstodon —number 3 is JOAN by Katherine J. Chen #bookstodon #libfaves22

(I'm behind on these but still slowly posting for whenever Twit is gone)

Day 2 #LibFaves22 goes to TRUE BIZ by Sara Novic for a literary, #OwnVoices coming-of-age story that greatly widened my understanding of Deaf culture. I would be amazed if this isn't eventually adapted to the screen.

Number 4 in my countdown of favorite 2022 books is THE BULLET THAT MISSED by Richard Osman #libfaves22 #bookstodon @bookstodon

6. Forest Hills Bootleg Society by Dave Baker & Nicole Goux - Four teens distribute a freaky anime at their private school and sow chaos that affects everyone. Writing & art find multiple angles of connection, alienation, and humor. Finally, some 00s nostalgia!

5. Bea Wolf by Zach Weinersmith and Boulet - an epic poem worth reading by flashlight under a blanket. It's Beowulf with legendary children, monstrous all-nighters, and mountains of toys and junk food. Boulet's art will imprint on kids and fuel their joyous nostalgia.
