Episode 172 - Top Ten Reads of 2022 with BookTuber Russell Gray

Happy New Year! Welcome to our third annual TOP TEN READS of the year episode with our special guest, BookTuber RUSSELL GRAY of Ink and Paper Blog. Emily, Chris, and Russell whittled down the books they read in 2022 to ten of our favorites. You’d think this would add up to thirty books, but you’d be wrong. As is customary, we cheated (some more than others) and talk about more than ten books a piece, but what else would you expect from a trio of bibliomanes? We each also share two books coming out in 2023 that we’re excited about. Russell: 1. THE DELUGE by Stephen Markley (1/10/2023 Simon & Schuster) 2. DECENT PEOPLE by De’Shawn Charles Winslow (2/14/2023 Bloomsbury Publishing) Emily: 1. THE WISE HOURS: A JOURNEY INTO THE WILD AND SECRET WORLD OF OWLS by Miriam Darlington (2/7/2023 Tin House Books) 2. CHAIN GANG ALL-STARS by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (4/4/2023 Pantheon Books) 3. THE INVISIBLE HOUR by Alice Hoffman (8/15/2023 Atria Books) Chris: 1. THE WRITING RETREAT by Julia Bartz (2/21/2023 Atria/Emily Bestler Books) 2. OUT OF CHARACTER by Jenna Miller (2/7/2023 Quill Tree Books/HarperCollins) All of the books mentioned in this episode are listed in the show notes https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2022/episode171 We also announce our 2023 Readalong Theme: BOOKS ABOUT BOOKS! Our pick for the first quarter was published in 1917 and is one of the first bibliomysteries. Thanks for listening!
