Enjoy the holidays with our favorite reads of 2022

December 25, 2022 By Shannon Harris

2023 is literally a week away, and what better way to wrap up 2022 than with a list of staff recommendations. One of the many things I enjoy about working in a library is that if I am ever in a reading slump, I can always ask one of my colleagues for a book recommendation. So, here is a list of books that library staff really enjoyed reading this year. The following titles can be found here at A. K. Smiley Public Library.

Fiction:

Book Lovers, by Emily Henry

The Dead Romantics, by Ashley Poston

House of Sky and Breath, by Sarah J. Maas

What Moves the Dead, by T. Kingfisher

White Horse, by Erika T. Wurth

Blacktop Wasteland, by S. A. Cosby

An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones

The Cabinet, by Kim Un-su

Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century, by Kim Fu

Non-Fiction:

I’m Glad My Mom Died, by Jeanette McCurdy

Everyone You Hate is Going to Die, by Daniel Sloss
