Have your read any #books that have been released in 2022? If so, which ones and which among them was your favorite? #cosobookclub #cosobooks #opencarrybooks
I just finished Scales & Stingers by our own @kmwarfield . It's been hard for me to find time to read, but I'm a #TTRPG nerd, and this is a #DnD-style book, the dungeon-crawling fantasy sort. Worth making the time for 👍

See:
I have read both twice, they are that good.

I read "Hold the Line," by Michael Fanone. I read other books, but none that were released this year.
Fanone's book was articulate, insightful, and what I expected.
A book I read this year that rocked my world was "The Bear Went Over the Mountain: Soviet Combat Tactics in Afghanistan
Nothing about that book is light reading. The font is not even consistent, but if you want to learn about Russian combat tactics, this is the book for you!
@CajunBlueAZ1 I have Hold the Line on my to do list and in my holds for the library. 👍🏻
I don't always read nonfiction but when I do, it's the heavy stuff. The last one I read and enjoyed was Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow. That read like a suspense thriller.
That sounds good! I have a hard time reading since my strokes, but I still do it... just slow as molasses in January. :)
I was excited to see these hashtags! I love the idea of sharing book recommendations.
@MotherDucker I've read How High We Go In The Dark as well. But my favorite of the year is The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty. Great characters, great prose. I felt electricity while reading it.
I didn't get around to reading Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart, but I have no doubt that I'll like it, as I thought Shuggie Bain was fantastic.
Only read a couple that were released in 2022, and enjoyed them both:
Memory's Legion, by James S. A. Corey. SF, the collected shorts and novellas for the Expanse series (with one new tale).
Osmo Unknown and the Eightpenny Woods, by Catherynne M. Valente. MG fantasy standalone, one of my favorite reads of the year.
@MotherDucker I feel guilty about this. I haven't read a book all year. I have so many books in my TBR pile too...
After I move at the beginning of the year I need to get back to it. Even if I need to set a time aside each week to just read.

Wayward by Chuck Wendig
Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg
Hate Machine and Suicide Kings both by Stephen Blackmoore
Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Final Heir by Faith Hunter
Be the Serpent and Seasonal Fears both by Seanan McGuire
This Way Out by Tufayel Ahmed
Trouble With the Cursed by Kim Harrison
The Candid Life of Meena Dave by Namrata Patel
Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson
Book of Night by Holly Black
Nettle & Bone by T Kingfisher
@MotherDucker
Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin
Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz
Manhunt or Nettle & Bone are definitely recommend I think. A lot of them are sequels and I should suggest them but most you'd want to start at the beginning since they aren't standalone.
I've read:
-How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
-The Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
-The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
-Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
-The Women Could Fly by Megan Giddings
-The World We Make by N.K. Jemisin.
-Only a Monster by Vanessa Len
-A Mirror Mended by Alix Harrow
-The Ivory Key by Akshaya Raman
-Hello Cleveland by Nick Perry
It's hard to pick just one... But I think Nagamatsu's is the one that shook my soul.
