After two rounds of voting, the readers have spoken and the winners have been chosen. It is time to reveal the victors of the 2022 Goodreads Choice Awards. There is usually at least one surprise and more than a few close calls, but more than anything, it is exciting to see which books came out on top.
It is no surprise to me that Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow took the top prize for Best Fiction. It is one of those books that I felt like I could read forever, and it has received so much attention since its publication. It is a good feeling when a DSN I voted for has taken the first category.
And while I may not have voted for the winner for Best Historical Fiction, it is again no surprise that this book has been voted the reader favorite. Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid has won it, which means it joins Reid's two previous books as winners of this category for the Goodreads Choice Awards.
It seems that Emily St. John Mandel has still managed to entertain science fiction lovers and her Sea of Tranquility has won it for Best Science Fiction. Personally, I loved the tie-ins to her previous book and another Goodreads Choice winner, Station Eleven.
And finally, I am pleased to see that The Office BFFs by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey has won for the Best Humor category, and given that the show The Office was popular during its initial run, and has now been rediscovered by a new generation, this is not at all surprising. Add to this the incredibly popular and award-winning podcast, The Office Ladies, and this book was certainly going to have its supporters.
Four DSNs, three of which I voted for, have won in their categories, along with a couple books that I read but did not cover on this blog (more on that later this month). All there is to do now is discover more new books and get ready for 2023. My only hope is that next year will provide just as many delightful selections as this one did.
