27 Best Fiction Books of 2022 (So Far)

Fiction books to get you through 2022

After two years of living through a global pandemic, we all crave a little relaxation. And what better way to chill out than with a great book? Fiction books help us escape no matter where we’re curled up reading: a cozy armchair, the beach, or even on the train or bus during a busy morning commute. Even if you have a soft spot for classic novels, there’s a special joy that comes from anticipating a new release from your favorite author—or even a debut author whose book blurb piqued your interest.

That’s why we narrowed down a list of some of the best fiction books released (or soon to be released) in the first half of 2022. These titles span several genres and are handpicked based on recommendations from Reader’s Digest editors. Along with new novels from previous award-winning authors, we’ve also added a few debut novels that have generated positive buzz from advanced readers.

With everything from romance novels, mystery books, fantasy books, beach reads, feminist books, and future best books of all time (or at least the best books of 2022!), there’s sure to be one you’ll want to crack open soon.
