3 Books from the 2022 Best of the Year Lists On My TBR

There are a few books from The Top 54 from the Best Books of 2022 List of Lists that are also on my “to be read” list. I don’t know when I’ll get to them because my TBR list is already deep and we haven’t made it out of the first month yet.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Gabrielle Zevin

On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.

Sea of Tranquility, Emily St. John Mandel

A novel of art, time travel, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon five hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space.

Liberation Day: Stories, George Sanders

A masterful collection that explores ideas of power, ethics, and justice, and cuts to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans.

Which “buzzed about” book from last year is at the top of your reading list?
