Best Fiction of 2022

As fun as it is to put these lists together, it’s also so, so difficult, because there are always too many books we want to include. This year, we did our best to contain it to 10 books, but the more we read and discussed and argued, the more we wanted to add an extra 5, and then another 5, which is how we ended up here. Below, you’ll find the 27 fiction titles that booksellers at Powell’s couldn’t stop raving over this last year. (It was supposed to be a clean 25! And then we realized we miscounted and couldn't bear taking one off. So here we are.) No matter the flavor of fiction you prefer, we're sure you'll find something on this list to devour.
